Growing up we had a AC WD and a MH 44 diesel that we used for a long time. When dad bought the 44 diesel was 16 cents a gallon and it was easy on fuel. The 44 would pull an IH 4x16 pull type plow all day long in 3 gear. I use to love plowing with it in the evening after being hot during the day and started getting cool and humid you could watch the temp gauge cool down and a frame start rising out of the stack till it was 6" tall. Man did she run good then and pull easer. Funny thing was it dynode out at 43 hp but yet pulled 4x16's a 13 ft disc and pulled a 14ft harrow gadder with no problem. It allways pulled more than it should have with zero problems.
My second tractor was a MH 44 special gas WF ps with a hand clutch for live power. They both worked great on the 72 and 90 AC pull type combines but the special was better because of the hand clutch. Like others have said the PTO being so high was a bad point a lot of times but could be worked around. Back in high school my AG teacher had an Oliver 88 pulling tractor and he beat everything but a MH 44 or 55 diesel. That old 44 diesel would be pulled down so hard it would sound like a 2 cyl JD putting along but it would never stop, It just kept going.
The MH 44 is on a short list of tractors that I want to have or have back. I would take a 44 over a H or M or any 2cyl JD but its a toss up on a 77 or 88 Oliver. Bandit
