I am curious what the differences are between the 5288 and the 5488. Engine aspiration (turbocharged vs. turbocharged and intercooled?), trans/rear end differences, injection pump differences, etc. Also, should an '84 5288 have a round tube adjustable front axle, or should it be square tube? This one looks like it has been replaced and it is a round tube. Thanks!

Someone out there is more qualified than I am to answer this since I went from the 86 series to magnums but I will try anyway. The 5488 was intercooled and if I remember right it had a bosch model mw inline pump instead of the trusty ambac 100. Same engine, rear axles, drive train basically. I guess that is why 5488's had a higher trans. failure rate than 5288's. The front axle was just a option. Have seen both. No doubt the square axle is stronger. If I was looking for one I would do alot of checking on if the transmission has been updated or if it was late enough that it came that way from the factory. Most of the ones around here were good reliable tractors for the guys that had them. The transmission failures left a bad taste but in reality they were better than the tractors they replaced. Hope I helped.

Thanks for the insight. It is a late '84 so I am led to believe that it has the updated transmission (although not sure what the nature of the update was) from factory. The round front axle appears to be a "left-over" from the 86 series, although I don't know if this one is original to the tractor.
