IH 3588

[Edward Niregård]

Hi friend! I want to now more about the Ih 3588, I have a Swedish sold registrated 1985 IH 3588, how many model years/prod years was it?

 

The VIN on mine is: 2890001U14412

 

What data can be red out from that? Is it possible to order from anywhere a factory data card copy?

According to the parts sites the 3588 was made from 78-81. 13561 was the start of 81 so I would say your machine should be a 81 year model.

Aha so early tractor of the last production year? Was there any known changes/updates of 81 compared to 78?

The biggest visible change that I can think of was cab interiors. They had what they called Western Interior and Deluxe Burgundy Trim the serial number break was at cab number 107806 and below for Western and 107807 and above for Deluxe according to the parts book. There were also changes in the A/C system at the same number break. There were some changes in the seats over the years as well. The early ones had a different safety latch on the front hood than what they latter went to and most over the years have had rubber straps added to help keep the hood closed. 

I am sure there were some other changes but that is what comes to mind at the moment. I just picked up a 3588 #17702 which has what is left of the Burgundy Trim in the cab and yet the A/C system is for the lower serial number range. I have no idea what the cab number is. Most of the factory interior is gone with what is left being on the doors. So were all the interiors an either or depending on serial number or could you order either way? I have no idea. 

Hope that helps you a little. The parts book I believe is available still and the number is TC-190.
