International or Farmall may make a difference with a 544. I know the rear ends are different and with some other models the engine blocks are different betwenn IH and Farmall. Maybe you want to upgrade to more power? I'm pretty sure a 544gasoline Farmall is the same as a 656 other than the number of cylinders, so a 460 or 560 would also be a good engine source. If you have a utility, you may have to look to utility models and the only one I can think of with enough power would be a 6 cylinder from a 460 International. The 504 uses a c-153 which is a super c engine on steroids and there will be some control linkage differences. As to Doncaster built tractors, not sure on interchangeability of engines with USA designed and built rear ends. Diesels will get more complicated with control linkages, plumbing, etc. I always wanted to build a super duper HTA mating an H engine to a 544 or 656 back end--I think the belhousings and engines will mate. There would be linkage and plumbing complications there too. How much work do you want this to be? It will be some research--I'm not an expert. It will also be a lot of engineering if you don't choose a bolt together option. Good luck

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
