Randy, I recently bought a 2544 which is a industrial utility version with a 2000 loader. Mine is a gas motor that dont have sleeves for cylinders and mine is gear drive tranny. It has a column shift that from I have seen is a pain in the tail if not properly maintained and adjusted. I bought mine with the tranny stuck in 3-gears!! I am in the middle to end of a complete engine rebuild. The 544 was made with the diesel engine, hydrostatic tranny or a gear drive tranny with a TA. The 544 was also made in a Farmall that was a row crop tractor. From what I understand the diesel engine is a champ. I bought mine for $450.00 and now have @$2300.00 in it now after going to Case/IH today droping another few hundred. The ball bearing in the governor was $53.55, fork in governor was $67.13 which both are outrageous prices for such small parts. The front axle to bolster pivot pin is $218.00. I have yet to use mine due to the rebuild but think I will be happy with it. I did see a Farmall on Ebay the other day not meet the reserve and end with a bid just under $4000. Good Luck, Kent

I had a Farmall 544 gas for a few years, mine was a piece of crap. As locking in 3 gears you will learn to carry a pry bar so you can take the battery cover off and pop it back in neutral you will learn with time how not to lock it in gear. The diesel engine is the same as the German 310 only it is a 4 cyl 239 cid. I have two German 310's they are good engines. The diesel is sleeved the gas is not.
