The 44, 54, 64, 74 & 84 series from IH are good little tractors. Plenty of them still available & a lot of them have loaders. Parts are still somewhat easy to find, too. I picked up a 2444 (commercial not industrial model 444 tractor at about 48hp) at a little under 5000 hrs., with loader & trencher over the summer & absolutely love it. Only paid $2000 for it with a tired motor. So far I've only changed the oil, the fuel from taxed to off road, all filters, one hydraulic hose off of the levers, belts & thermostat. The only time I've noticed it to be a bit underpowered is on the road in 4-HI. In low range it gets the work done with no problem. It slobbers from the crankcase breather, that's about the worst of it. I only went through about a quart of oil in the 60 or so hours I've put on it since I got it. Most of which were loading out 58 sopping wet loads of manure.
Do I recommend that you find a tractor with tired motor? No. Just wanted to relate to you what that 50 year old tractor can still do, pooped engine & all.
