Decision time: IH 5288

[Builder]

I think I finally found the one I was looking for. Seller is very cooperative and forthcoming with info. Has Western interior. Dyno readout was 190HP. DT466. 1983 INTERNATIONAL 5288 175 HP Or Greater For Sale At TractorHouse.com&

Looks like a pretty nice tractor for a reasonable price, I like the old IH for some reason though I have never owned one; use to be really popular around here.

They were the pre magnum tractor transmissions and very durable. Most 466's will run at the 200 horseower range without any trouble and the transmission has been proven to handle it as well.

I would ask on the Red Power Magazine forum but my old IH mechanic buddy always said never buy one of those unless the trans update was done.
