Glad that one guy grabbed it before it got scrapped. Neat to see this man bought it and uses it today. It's a beautiful tractor. It would have been such a waste scrapping that tractor, it is a part of history.

This is the problem with too progressive...why scrap it? Why not remember it at least. Put to work in the fields. What a waste to say go and scrap this hp that someone certainly would take. Thanks to this man.

Well anything is possible if you have a 3588 or even 6388 even on your own it's possible to make your own 72-7488...

If your good with a welder and lots of time on your hands, I couldnt see why you couldn't mate a the pivot/front end of a 3588 to a rear of say a 52/5488. That being said, the front axle would still be too light if you used a 3588 front end.

That bothers me when they just scrap stuff that someone could get thousands of hours out of. My family had a dairy farm north of Grand Meadow Mn and we bought a new 3388 within about a year of them hitting the market. Farm was sold in 1981 Clement who I wouldn’t trust any farther than I could throw him.
