The 3388 had the same engine as the 1086. We bought a 3388 new around 1979. Prior to it we bought a new 986. Our farm was sold in 1981 when I was 14 years old. I got to operate almost every tractor and attachment we had.

In1980 that tractor design must have been so different as it still looks now. I just looked it up its not a heavy tractor about 7t and 150hp, it looks a lot more but with the engine slung right out the front I imagine with standard weights it must have superior traction. Some of the 1980s tractors we had in Britain like the Fords had the fuel tank out font that made the bonnet nearly as long but not on this level. What a cool tractor I have never seen one in Europe, thanks.

Back in 1980 was a mechanic for a IH dealer and worked on these bad boys(3588). Had one with head gasket leak, removed head and found the 4 pistons were missing one wrist pin retainer. The cylinder walls had a grove from wear. Tractor ran fine. Had to put new sleeves and piston and head gasket. The differentials were weak and would go out, steering hydraulic would give problems. Getting old that was 37 yrs ago.

When the blower wheels are coated with 1/8 inch of dust it will only push about 50% of the air ,The condenser coil must be dirty also . All must be cleaned . Too much oil can slug the compressor and destroy it . This is likely a TX valve system ; The charge is by weight or 10 degrees subcooling on the liquid line .

When dealing with a R12 system that’s been converted to 134A, they never cool worth a damn! I’ve started charging them with R152A instead. It’s a closer equivalent to R12, and cools much better, and less leak prone! I’ve gotten 38 degrees at the vents with it before. R152a is easily obtained too. It’s air duster. The stuff you clean keyboards and stuff with. About $7 a can. Use a can clamp that fits old R12 cans, works just fine. Used it on many things over the years, never had any ill-effects.
@Azlehria5 жыл бұрын
Hell, even a lot of factory 134a systems don't cool for shit. Sometimes they will if you're really moving, but as soon as you slow down - or, god forbid, stop - you start getting warm air out the vents. I got 6 unconverted R-12 cars. Thankfully, the only one that needs a charge (and some parts) doesn't get driven these days.

This is one of the tractor models that eventuallycaused IH to sell out to Case. IH made good tractors until they started the 86 series. To save money, they put more powerful engines on the same old drivetrain that served them well in the 56 and 66 series tractors. The added hp was too much for the spider gears and they went out regularly at about 1,400 hours making for an expensive repair. I must praise, however, the IH engines. They made solid, long lasting, and dependable good pulling engines. If International had upgraded the rear ends of the 86 series tractors and beefed up their wide front ends they might have become the purchasers of Case rather than the other way round. Enjoy your videos Warren and admire your work ethic. You have a very analytic mind on figuring out a problem and how to work through it to a solution. You are sadly a dying breed my friend.

Those tractors have been held in high regard by some and in disdain by others. I think they were a bit ahead of their time. The 86 series tractors never did seal very good on top.

Little maintence goes a long way sometimes.

Are you aware that you can run electronics duster spray, which is actually a registered refrigerant (R152A) in an old R12 system? Yup, if you read the fine print on the can it reveals the contents are 152A although the last 4 pack I bought from wally world I couldn't find the reference to 152 on the cans. I am running it in my '85 Ford van and it makes nice cold air. Probably not as cold as R12 but the stuff is dirt cheap and obviously environmentally friendly because it is made to be sprayed directly into the air. At four cans for about $14.00 it beats the heck out of the cost and nasty high pressures of 134 in a tired old system. There are some videos on youtube about it. You buy a readily available can connector which allows you to run the stuff into your gauges and system.
