I've got that same 3588 toy....got it for Christmas about '79-80. Was an awesome find under the Christmas tree for a little guy! I still have it, but it should get restored.
I miss my old farm days. Used to work for my Uncles, between the 3 of them there's 3 806s, 1206, 1466, 1566, 1086, 5288 and a 7110 Magnum. They had a 1066, 1256, & Deere 8430 4x4. Spent a lot of hours in them.
Back in '09 when everything was crashing my dealer was one of the stores Chrysler dropped. Fortunately an old friend from high school (who has a huge farm out here with his Dad) had a guy leave right when I needed work. Thankfully he put me on for a few months.....I got to drive some NICE green hardware- 9400, a couple 9420s, even a new 8345R. They had a couple year old, I think 525hp Cat Challenger burn up. There was a few fires out here that year. They were almost exclusively green until they tried the Challengers, and then had an issue with a couple 9860 combines and switched to Lexions. I haven't spoke to them in a while but drove by there the other night and saw a near new red Steiger in the shed. H@ll must have froze over 'cuz I never thought they'd have anything red.
