Case 444 Parts Catalog – 38-Page OEM Factory Reference

If you’re ordering parts for a Case 444 compact tractor and relying on aftermarket listings, you’re gambling with your time and money. I’ve seen guys bolt up the wrong connecting rod because a third-party catalog listed a part number that was close but not exact. That’s a stripped crank journal waiting to happen. This is the factory Case 444 Parts Catalog – 38 pages of OEM exploded views, part numbers, and grid locations. Not a reprint, not a scan of a scan. Original factory print, with the note that it replaces the earlier C1135 and should be the only book on your desk. Automotive Industry Overview might give you background, but this book gives you the exact part numbers.

Engine Section: Camshaft, Crankshaft, Cylinder – All Mapped Out

Engine internals aren’t something you guess at. The Engine section in this catalog covers every major component. Camshaft is listed on page 7, grid A8 – right next to the crankcase breather. Crankshaft appears on page 9, grid A10, and the connecting rod sits on the same page. Cylinder block and Cylinder head are together on page 11, grid A12. That’s your big-ticket items. You also get gasket kits, flywheel, oil pan, and the piston assembly all on the same spread. If you’re rebuilding an engine, this is the map that keeps you from buying the wrong piston ring set.

The catalog uses a grid system on each page. Air cleaner? Page 5, grid A6. Exhaust system shares that page. Governor linkage? Page 19, grid B6. You learn to read those coordinates fast – it saves you flipping back and forth.

Are You Ordering Parts for a Pre-9646801 444?

Look at the serial number plate on your tractor. This Case 444 Parts Catalog is for units prior to serial number 9646801. If yours is after that number, you need a different book. The cover page makes that clear: “PRIOR TO S/N 9646801.” Failure to match your serial number to the correct catalog leads to wrong parts and a tractor that sits dead. I’ve seen it happen. The catalog also includes a note that revised pages will be issued with the same page numbers but advanced issue dates – so keep your book updated.

Electrical System and Starter – What’s on Page 49

Electrical system components are covered from page 49 to 51, grids D8–D10. That includes the battery, spark plug, and starter. The starter is on page 53, grid D12. If you’re chasing a no-start condition and need the exact part number for the spark plug or the starter motor, you’ll find it here. No wiring diagrams in a parts catalog – this is purely for ordering replacement parts. But if you’re rebuilding the electrical system, you want to see the exploded view of the starter so you can order the correct brushes or solenoid. The catalog also lists the tail lamp on page 61, grid E6, and instruments on the same spread as the electrical system.

Alphabetical Index: How to Find the Right Part Fast

The front of the book has an alphabetical index. Look up “Camshaft” and it tells you page 7, grid A8. “Crankshaft” – page 9, grid A10. “Cylinder Block” – page 11, grid A12. That’s the quickest way to navigate 38 pages. The rear of the catalog also has a numerical index of part numbers with page references. If you have a part number from an old part but need to verify it, the numerical index gets you there. Automotive Industry Overview won’t help here – this is Case-specific.

3 Reasons to Trust OEM Documentation Over Aftermarket

First: The part numbers are genuine Case numbers, not cross-references that sometimes fit and sometimes don’t. Second: The exploded views show the exact orientation and relationship of parts – aftermarket catalogs often rearrange diagrams to fit their layout, introducing confusion. Third: This catalog includes the original grid system and page numbering that matches dealer parts systems. When you call a Case dealer with a part number from this book, they pull the right bin. Aftermarket catalogs will give you a number that may be superseded or wrong.

The basic tractor section covers everything else: front and rear axle, brakes, steering, hydraulics, transmission, frame, hood, fenders, three-point hitch models, PTO drive, hydraulic lift, and wheel weights. The hydraulic section includes the pump, control valve, hoses, and drive motor – all with part numbers and quantities.

Does this parts catalog include torque specs or repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows exploded views of assemblies with part numbers and quantities. For torque specs and repair steps, you need the factory service manual for the Case 444.

How do I know if the part number in this catalog is still available from Case?

Call your local Case dealer with the part number from the numerical index. Some parts may be discontinued, but the catalog gives you the original number so you can check supersessions. You can also search online parts databases using those numbers.

Does this cover the hydraulics and three-point hitch?

Yes. The basic tractor section includes hydraulics (hoses, pump, control valve, drive motor) on pages 39–47. The three-point hitch is covered under Model F26 and F27, pages 63–65. Hydraulic lift is Model F30 on page 57. All with part numbers.

Is this the same as a reprint or a digital copy?

This is the original factory-issue parts catalog, printed by Case. The cover states “Parts Catalog No. D1135” and replaces C1135. It is not a third-party reprint. Pages are original, with the same issue number and date as the factory release.

Don’t order parts blind. Get the factory book that tells you exactly what goes where. Access the Factory Manual and keep it in your toolbox next to your torque wrench.
