Our 3588 had one, I think it is a cushion for the hydraulic system like an accumulator

Ours was eliminated by my local dealer when they were doing something to the tractor. Ours might have had the gear pump conversion rather than the piston pump

Thanks. ...does it have a piston pump or a gear then?

Don't remember for sure, but I think it is a gear

WOW ! What is that wet look? IS it a broken sprinkler main ? Have not seen that look around here in such a long time I have forgotten what it is.

Great pictures!

HA and not even a Ebay for sale ad! We got 1.6 since Sunday and 5 last week. Our beautiful spring went kaputt. Now it feels like Nov.

Man....7" near in 2 weeks. We knew the high 50s in Feb meant trouble. When I checked cows last night it was monsoon like raining. Crazy...but March. .

Trade you for our dry spring and fire weather again. I sure hope it rains some this spring.

TroyDairy,

Normally, the kind of dairy equipment you discuss on your thread is so far over my (old) head, I feel like a pig watching television. It's interesting, but I don't have a clue.

Now lack of moisture? I get that completely, if mader656 could share a couple inches of your rain for here at Helena, Montana, that'd sure be nice. We're dry. When you see bucket choppers carrying water into the smoky areas of a canyon, you wonder....? What's it going to be like in July? God Bless! OBG or Gary ;)

Well two plus fires with 20 miles and another 50 miles away. 45 mile an hour winds to boot. It's been hot and Dry so they are hard to stop all fire dept. Are on it. Along with every cat available. HHopefully God will send rain.

Man I wish I could send it over guys! We are over records for the last month and near 8" over for the winter months. Everyone is having manure storage issues b/c of it.

Got the loader nearly done.

God Bless! You people in Montana! Hope you get some rain soon & you and yours are SAFE!

T/D Know what your facing with manure & water management . Makes a difficult job Harder. Still have the memories of helping my Dad during those wet years of trying to keep corals comfortable for cows and workable during milking. However, we did not have the sophistication of a good set up like you do now but its still difficult.

Rural life is great! but it comes with a price ,doesn't it?, that is what many in this generation are lacking, the experience of what it takes to persevere & be successful.

T/D,

Would love to help you out! But I looked all over my SMTA,400,560,S.C. 300u,806, & H , Cannot find anything that even resembles that picture and it does not even show it in my service manuals of them either!

I feel like what OBG described, "A pig watching T.V., interesting but don't have a clue"!

I'll say though! I can find all that kind of stuff on my Almond Equipment, Thank God for my Young employee ,Sal Jr., I just say to him, "you need to figure this out its above my pay grade" lol,lol. Some of the perks of being very close to seven decades. lol.

Troy, I saw Dicktater at a meeting Thursday night I asked him how much rain you guys have had up there, I was shocked when he said 4'' in the last week or so. Most of that has missed us I might come up with 1.5-2.0 in the last 2 weeks is about it. Guys are opening up fields here and there.

Jerry...putting a loader on it. Found a 890 on Craigslist in IA. Dad wreaked his truck trying to get it. Finally got the hydro stuff figured out off of grainy old manual photos and some members help. Put tires on tomorrow and try driving into it. A 890 is pretty big in real life!

You need one jerry for the loader show you got there!

806...Stensland stopped to BS other day. Was surprised how wet we were too. He said he just did work in your neighborhood and was fine.....below sea level.

That will be a beast on the 8930! Can't wait to see it in action. Magnums too big for my collection. Had to put 3688 and2355 into action yesterday. Pushing brush with the farmal 95 and pressure plate flew apart. Going to dealer in the morning for a fix. Still under warrantee. The clutch has never been right since new. Going to chip in a little and have them. Put in an extra heavy duty setup. Hope that will solve the problems.

Yikes. ..hours? How has that tractor otherwise. Look like a handy size. The 3688 deserved a day out!

400 hrs. Engineers must have been smoking something strong when they designed this baby. Handy and fun to drive but it has been a nightmare of mickey mouse problems that were a production problem. Wiring mainly. Wires run in tight places and insulation wearing off and salt damage from the boat trip over from Turkey. I could go on but no time. All stems back to you get exactly what you pay for.

I'll never buy Turkey again.

If the 3688 had FWA and a shuttle shift, it would be my main loader tractor.

Thats what I figured. I looked at 1 a while ago at the dealer. Not china bad but not alot of pride in the build. Short cuts I say. Run the wire around here instead of up and ocer nice in a sheath type stuff.
