I run their 0W20 In my 2023 Impreza. It's half the price of name brand but the same (or sometimes better) quality. I think it even outperformed Mobil 1 in one test.
Nice find!! I would have moved it quick, get the stem up. Calcium is expensive anymore! We've got a '62 4010 Wheatland with an F11. All it does is load and feed big bales. Had a '63 4010 rowcrop in the '70s. Im sure the 3 point was removed for the loader and so you could get on it from the back..
If I was farming full time maybe or doing a lot of tilling on rough ground. I think it will work just fine for my purposes. Didn’t want to buy a $1000 seat for an $8k tractor.
@@selfmadefarmer2020we've got used truck seat bases in 94 series, kept the swivel seats. Put self contained base in the 5288, with original seat on it. I think we're $400 into the self contained base. It's way better than the original hydraulic suspension and doesn't make a mess!
Wes knows his way around 4900s I know way too much about them! We've got one, 60k on it. Worst thing is, there's not many parts available now. We replaced stuffer springs 2 years ago, got the last one in AGCOs system and the last one in C-NH s system. Had hydraulic tension issues last year, was lucky enough to find someone that had the last parts for that.. and load bars are no longer available, we've run 2 years on just one.
Love that tractor. Great that you got a good deal on it. I think I was 5 years old when we got our 3288 brand new. It was a great tractor - did all our plowing, disking, and ran our 781 harvester.
Good simple combines , do a great job , yes walker combines will be better for straw, but I've baled behind ours and you can't tell too much difference until the straw gets real dry then it chews it up worst
That IH was I nice machine when it was parked there probably 8 plus years ago. What a shame to see it in this condition. Judging by the depth the machine has sunk it could have even been parked there longer.
its from warren distribution, which is where amazon basics, Costco, and many others comes from. there are better quality oils, but its not the worst thing you can use.
Triple R Tractors has pretty much everything you'll need for this. 80% of the cab is the same as an 86 series, including that bent fender, which were much more common. However, the window you need is slightly different. I restored a 1086 last winter and it was pretty easy to do the cab. The shifter setup on those 88s is much nicer than the 86s. Depending how deep you want to get, the cab lifts off with only a few bolts. The Sentry units were the usual sources of trouble. If you get sick of it let me know and I'll give it a good home in NY 😉
Get to know Mike Links at Triple R Tractor in Bartelso Illinois. He is the expert on the 50 series and has everything you need; particularly advice. He runs a parts business also. Google Triple R. Tractors
You forgot to tell us to make sure the park brake lever on the left side is in the down position to shift. I bought a 5488 mid December 2023. In central ND. It is hard to get into gear if not warmed up and then it is not quite right. I think it may be out of adjustment or worn linkage. It shifts ok with the engine off. Read the instructions carefully if you are going to change the Hydraulic filters. One spin on is easy but the two others cartridge filters Fleet Guard number 6054 there is a bolt or cap screw to turn out on the lower left side of the back filter so you will only drain a gallon or two of oil. Don't ask how I know
Bird's nests seem to be a problem for the 5288 . A local one burned after a bird's-nest was on exhaust manifold and we removed a nest almost every time we go to start ours
we were going to buy a 5288 in 1993 dealership brought it over for me to test sticker price $18k i put it on the jd3800 chopper w/1000pto i liked the engine hp responsive steering because of weights engine never got hot no matter how hard i pushed it power shifting during chopping corn a must absolutely beautiful tractor looked factory new inside/out think it had 3000hrs but dad did'nt like the 42" wheels said any tractor with tires that big in our rocky clay transmission would be junk 1 season ended up buying awful 1370case with 8700hrs $14k 10yr loan 12% interest nothing but problems $45k in repairs all the years we had it always in a shop not here one could make an argument that case drove our farm out of business. when you have a mortgage bank owns everything and all their everything has to be in working running condition or its violation of loan agreement whether one can afford repairs or not decisions make/break a farmer
Farmhand loaders were great. Only thing that they’re missing is down pressure but other than that they’re great. Had one on a Cockshutt 40 for years. We stacked loose hay with it can’t beat them for that.
We had the internationals in the 70s and early 80s and next thing you know they were case international, guessing its a 1981 model, we had a around 1976 international 1086 with the turbo
I have a 68 f250 here in the UK. I see yours has power steering, do you know if it is the Bendix steering gear ? Mine is, and leaks a bit, but the Bendix seems unavailable unless I remove it and ship it to the US for a refurb, as there are none available ex stock.
Great tractors. I ran a 5488 for quite a few years on a 500 bushel grain cart and it did a great job. DT-466 engine is a great engine and quite efficient on fuel as well. Defenitely an early model you can tell by the round tube front axle the later ones had a square tube. Also you're spot on with how the transmission works regarding clutching and powershifting. rear floods should be on a rocker switch either next to the light switch or on the dash panel itself. Make sure to open up the hood vents and blow that cavity out, they have a tendency to fill up with material since the fan actually blows air out the front instead of into the front.
