Re: Case 644 loader repairs
Tonight I worked a little on the bucket. Sorry, no pics, haven't done much, just a little grinding of old welds to make them prettier and straighten up some of the bushings. The bucket really needs a good wire brush cleaning and a couple of coats of paint when the weather permits. This pile of parts also came missing all bucket pins, so that's something to be done too. A tiny update.

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
The state of "looks like crap but it's fully functional" has been reached. Engine runs nicely, all fuel delivery is clean and many new parts, hydraulics don't leak and strong, joints are tight and greased.
Despite its looks I am content that it is no longer just a bunch of good for nothing parts. This can do work and it will not be spared.

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
Working well and well worked is more important than lipstick and mascara . Pretty is nice but if it can't do the job it just a parade queen .
Now parade queens are nice if you have the time , space and money for them .

Well done! Looks like a tractor again. The nice thing about not being painted is you don’t worry about scratching it or getting it dirty!

Looks like some seat time is in order. Looks good. Did you get your wheel issue resolved?

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
In a way I suppose I did. Will use 16" rims from one of the parts tractors.
Took it out of the tent tonight but it was dark, no video. Put it through some moves, everything works.

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
Your 644 looks better than my 644lbh. I figure this GT is for work and not show. A little rust here some mud there no big deal. Running and operating as it should is more important to me than how the paint looks. Harry

Re: Case 644 loader repairs
Small step ahead. After drilling the 3/4" pins on the bucket linkages new roll pins were installed.
Then it took me a while to find a piece of sheet metal the same thickness as the hood and cutting the missing piece out of it.
Set the flux core welder to low current and there it stuck.
There will be angle grinder in its future.
