What the # of the big articulated IH?

[Michaeljp86]

Theres a place not far from me and in the back is a huge articulated IH with the same grill as my 484. They must have been built in the late 70s to early 80s. They seem to be rare around here. I was wondering what the model # is. Id like to get it a restore it and get a rain cap on it before the coffee can rots away.

Are you referring to those anteater/aardvark looking pieces of shit?

3388/3588/3788

6388/6588/6788

7088/7288/7488/7688

They were referred to as a 2+2 and from everything I've heard they can die in a fire.

You dont sound like your a big fan of the 2+2. I always wanted a small one, like the 3388. They may be a POS, Ive only seen one in person in my life. I thought it was nice size for a small plowing tractor.

I've seen quite a few of them, almost ALL of them in various states of disrepair sitting in the back 40 of some old place. I've even seen them with one half over here and the other half over there.

I seen one not far from here sitting along a barn grown up in brush. I seen the 2 stacks on it and smiled. As soon as I get some money I was going to see if I could find that place again and stop over and talk to him.

Only problem is it looks like a place from a horror movie. Theres probably a bunch of IH guys chained up in the basement slowly being eaten alive.

the 2+2 tractors were never a huge success, as they were weird and unreliable. The only point i saw was for high horsepower clutivating needs, as that layout would give one better visibility, and i think the way it steered allowed less cultivator damage to the crop.

If anyone is serious about v-8 2wds, I know a guy who is a broker, and he runs upon one every so often, problem is he knows what they are and the value.

The 1155 was a well built tractor there is a few around sitting in barns..
