The M440 answered the critics, but lubrication was still a problem. The new loader’s drive chains carried oil to the clutches, but it wasn’t sufficient. A quick redesign solved the problem — diverting return flow from the hydraulic system to pressure-oil the clutches.

With that simple modification, the M444 was launched in 1963. It had a two-cylinder 15.5HP Onan engine, with 1000 lbs. rated capacity and weighing in at 2410 lbs. The selling price was $2750, plus another $95 for a utility bucket. A dirt bucket was $154 and a set of manure forks was $87.
