To Ken, Harold, Ben, Rob and Farmalldan, one big THANK YOU on this. Guy Fay we will excuse you, as you must have been otherwise detained today. 20 years ago I bought the book 150 Years of IH by CH Wendel. One of the first things I noticed was the 444 did not look like the one I was familiar with. Wendel's photos being black and white, made it just a bit hard to determine exactly what was different. To me it looked like the British casting I was used to but with different styling on hood, grill and fenders. I also noticed the swept back front axle common to US built IH Utility tractors. As you can see I let 20 years pass without the question, so it wasn't a top priority item to me. I was always kind of a Farmall man, so you see where I'm coming from. What I did see however were US and Canadian participants in the same YT discussions, trying to help one another, yet discussing two different tractors. These kinds of discussions are a bit painful to watch. So I waited my chance to wade in. I just hope I didn't spoil LeRoy's thread re: 404, 424 and 444. So when you see someone ask a question about a 424 or 444 tractor, ask first if it is a B for British or U for US
