I am a real IH freak and I real big fan of the 86 series but I would choose the 5488 over the 1586 hands down. The 5488 had the DTI 466 in it which stands for diesel turbo intercooled. This is the largest Melrose Park Diesel, it is basically the same as the 1586's DT 436 except it has a few more cubes, an intercooler, and an inline pump. The transmision featured the STS transmission which stood for synchro tri six. This tranny was fully synchronized and had clash free shifting. The range transmission was three speed with a high medium and low. The speed transmission was a 6 speed. The six speed was in a Z pattern with power shifting between 1 and 2 then beween 3 and 4 and then between 5 and 6. This was accomplished by basically using a torque amplifier that shifted with an electric valve. This tractor was the first farm tractor to use on board computer technology to monitor engine, transsmission, and hydraulic functions. Another featured with the Mid Mount wet Master Clutch which was smooth as glass. Dealers actually set up demo's of the 88's (technically called the 50 series)with an extended draw bar. They would place a pitcher of water on a stump and place a glass on the ground behind the stump with a line on it. The clutch was so smooth you could actually tip the pitcher and fill the glass to the line drawn on it without spilling and another drop! The reverse flow air was also a spectacular feature. In addition to keeping the radiator clean, it also drew hot air from the engine compartment out and around the radiator. This kept cab and engine compartment temperatures low. The Control Center Cab was a carry over from the 86 series Pro Ag Line and I have never been in a nicer IH cab than this one.

Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
