IHC5488 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Where can I get a hammer strap for a 5488? Looking for anything that will work, can be aftermarket, which I assume would be all that's out there. I believe the same strap fits on the boxcar Magnums but not sure Thanks, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TractormanMike.mb Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 All states ag parts might have something new aftermarket. I actually made one from an old draw bar that broke that worked really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Do you have the straight drawbar or the dropped one ? Neighbors 5088 has the drawbar with the bend and we had to slide one of our used Magnum drawbars in with a hammer strap we had. I'd call a few junkyards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finney Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Call your local welding shop, I have made many. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume that it doesn't need to hold alot of weight, just keep the pin in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most hammer strap equipment has the possibility of negative toung weight and putting upward pressure on the drawbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 They are easy to make. Just a piece of thick plate on top and something to space it up. Drill hole and weld er up. Bent looks nicer though. Thx-Ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axial_al Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I bought a drop pin hammer strap through case several years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihrondiesel Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 You can buy one from a CaseIH dealer that fits a boxcar Magnum, I use them on my 54’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billonthefarm Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 My 5488 has a boxcar magnum style, straight drawbars. On the 66 series tractors I bought a couple aftermarket ones and they work well but not as big of a load as the 54 gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Built one for the 10 shortly after it arrived here. Found a piece of scrap that was near perfect for the job. One cut with the saw, drilled three holes, welded the pieces together, wala! Have never used it in nine years now. I do know where it is if need arises though.

Google showed some businesses that may have them. My local welding shop can make one as well ....I was just wondering about how big to make the spacing if the tongue or clevis is 2¾" thick...3½" maybe???

midnightman Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 built one like this for my 5088 and one for my brother’s 1486. Never swing the drawbar so didn’t really need the roller. Now there’s enough room to hook up the 540 pto shaft on the round baler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
