No problem asking question Noel, I've had both a 444 (14hp) and the one I sold this summer was a 446, they are well built tractors the decks are good and mow nice and the snowcaster (blower) work good also the attachment are pretty easy to install and remove. I quess my only complaint is to me they are slow form mowing the motion control is not at all like a hydrostatic it either very slow or slow. Looks like its a 1982 model year when you get it up and driving you can check out if it has the optional hold valve it keeps the tractor from free wheeling when going down a gradeWe have been thinking about the muffler and bonnet Gary. No mower deck. Sadly it could be 2 months and we will have snow. So I may be askin you questions as I get in to this. If that’s ok. What was the one you have. And I didn’t think you liked it that well.

As for finding a holding valve you can watch e bay also you could join the FB case group there are 2 for sure some of the members sell parts its not a simple job to install but it does work, the 444 I had had it but the 446 I just sold did not per the owners manual when starting down a grade move the motion control lever to the slow position, the brake should be easy to repair may just need adjusting did you get any manuals with the tractor? There are lots of manuals online here's an operators manual https://manuals.casecoltingersoll.com/OperatorManuals/Case 446 Operator's Manual No. 9-6422.pdfWhere would I find that valve at Gary. Found that out today. Likes to roll. And no brakes. So I gotta fix the brakes. We put it to work today. Hehe. 1/2 cord of hardwood on trailer. Will see tomorrow if it will move it. Hehe.
