88seriesrestorer Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Make sure it has sentry in it first and foremost. I have new ones. Then look at fuse box and replace if melted. Replace lights with leds, put in the high efficiency cab fan, and sanden comp setup. Mike 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of having the center mointed motor that the squirrel cages beat the bushings out of and then over draw. The hi eff fan each cage has its own motor. No more outta balance, they move more air and are quiet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Thanks for the info Mike! The tray that goes on top of the dash is very handy. The extra lights on the front end weight bracket. I would like to add idiot lights & alarm to all my tractors for temp & oil. My wife won't look at the guages like I do... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 That's not my 5488 btw. Mine is still in pieces at my friends shop. I stole that from the interweb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5488Duke Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Magnum battery box and steps with both batteries on left side magnum door hinges and latch tray for dash is very nice and handy air ride seat upgrades LED lights all around including dash and inside cab. auto steer systems are nice for long nights of field work after market mirrors mounted on both sides. sound proofing materials from Fehr Cab for floor and firewall and rear cab panels. Make them as quiet as the magnums. Turbo upgrades and exhaust muffler eliminators help with lower exhaust temps and more HP 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you alter the factory door to resemble the Magnum door and did you do it to both sides of the tractor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimw Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 A guy shouldn’t have to put gauges on under the floor boards for testing, I think there should be gauges on the dash for constant monitoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we got a used magnum door. Just did the left hand side. We have monitors and such blocking the right hand side so it really can’t be used. But if you got all the parts and linkages for opener system and hinges, you could alter the door on right side. Would be a lot more work. We needed a door for the 5288 we had picked up about the same time. Its door was in real bad shape. So used the magnum door on 5488 and put the good 54 door on the 52 at the time. Win win so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
