I've always been an Oliver and White guy, but I now find myself the new owner of an '84 5288. Tractor has 4400 hours on it. I'd appreciate any guidance and info you can spare to get me up to speed on these tractors. I have read that it has the famed IH 466 engine. This one has oil blowby coming out the crankcase ventilator when running. Could this mean that it needs rings via an overhaul already? It carries good oil pressure. Powershift works well, but steering seems like it takes more effort than a Deere or White, and if you try turning the wheel too fast, the power steering jerks and won't keep up. Is there an adjustment to this circuit, or is that a sign of a weak hydraulic pump? What about rear end and trans? Things to check? Thanks for any help and regards.
