5488Duke

It was great meeting some of you for the first time! Good stories and conversations!! I am in the middle of second row with red, black and white IH shirt on. Between Tony and BJ.

Word I got was the tractors were from the Hageman collection and that the steering box failed on the semi causing the driver to lose all steering. Driver was ok I heard.

Shiloh Ohio. Near Mansfield. Half way between Cleveland and Columbus

Loaded and ready to head southwest to Springfield!!

Plan on going all three days. Hoping to get the 5488, 986, and H to the show.

I have an L shaped flat steel bolted to front windshield crossbar and then bolted to right side slope just above step. have a ram ball bolted to top of flat. also made an extension rod bolted to flat for the 750 Trimble for the auto steer. Also have the small compressor mounted to bottom of the flat steel. Made a power connection for them and mounted to crossbar and wires go into side of dash and down to fuse box for power. can’t use right side steps but can open door and reach hydraulic remote levers if needed.

These will be regarding/collection wrenches since they are so pristine.

I couldn’t believe they look NIB. No scratches or markings on any of the wrenches and the pouch is in perfect condition. I never get lucky!

Some more pics!

That’s awesome!! Forgot about that song!!

So was just cruising’ ’eBay the other day looking at IH stuff. Do it on occasion and have picked up a few odds and ends of IH tools over the years. Ran across this beauty! Couldn’t believe it and wasn’t getting my hopes up until it arrived and I could lay hands on it! what did I get? Teaser pic below.

You can leave range on rearend and do clutch from there. Just have solid support under range and drawbar in back. Also have good support under cab front corners. Don’t use bottle jacks as they will leak down over time.

Many Thanks BJ!

Been a while since we had our magnum. Check tehwiring to the solenoid for the MFWD you may have pulled something loose trying to get the other issue fixed. Believe solenoid is near the side full tank at rear?

I would take the plastic shift cover off in cab and verify action of the shift lever and the electric switch that is activated to shift between even and odd gears. Sounds like something is wrong but giving odd symptoms.
