Another neighbor friend had a 3688 that I disked some ground and planted wheat with in the fall of 96. Kinda neat compared to a 86 series( I used to run a 1486 a lot ) from what I remember it may have not had the tranny update cause it gave me fits shifting . Dad always said it was the best looking tractor IH made. We tried buying a 5088 in 87 but couldn't come together on the deal. We had on our farm at one time a 656d farmall, a 1486 a 76 886 360d and one dad bought new a 81 886 with a 358 German diesel, it had a cab originally intended for a 986! Must have been put together from all the extra parts IH had around. Really it had 986 on the cab serial # pretty cool! Have to see if I can find a pic of the tractor. Kinda funny story dad ordered it they first tried to pass a used a 886 off on him then the other one came in it had the wrong size tires. He ordered it with 18.4x38 and it had 18.4x34 on it, turned out the 34's were better. Smaller tire like that gives you better pull for the up the tractor had. Sorry to ramble. This is a interesting thread! For us IH guys there's no better book than red tractors 1958-2013 very much interesting book!
