Case IH 3288 Tractor Parts
3288 parts and accessories
The Case IH 3288 tractor, manufactured from 1981 to 1984, was a popular choice for farmers needing a reliable utility tractor. Powered by an International Harvester D-358 diesel engine producing around 70 horsepower, the 3288 delivered dependable performance. Its robust PTO, rated at approximately 63 horsepower, made it well-suited for a variety of farming tasks.
The Case IH 3288 was introduced in 1981 as part of the International Harvester (later Case IH) 88 Series tractor lineup, succeeding earlier models and offering updated features. Production continued until 1984. The 3288 is equipped with an International Harvester D-358 5.9L (358 cu in) six-cylinder diesel engine, producing approximately 70 horsepower. The engine's displacement and diesel fuel system contributed to its fuel efficiency and durability. It features a gear-type transmission with options for either 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds, or 16 forward and 8 reverse speeds with the addition of a creeper gear. The PTO is rated at 63 horsepower, with a standard 540 RPM PTO speed. Hydraulic capacity is around 12 GPM, providing adequate power for implements. The 3-point hitch is a Category II, offering a lift capacity of approximately 3,800 lbs. The Case IH 3288 was commonly used for row crop work, hay baling, livestock feeding, and general tillage operations. Compared to smaller models in the 88 series, the 3288 provided more power and hydraulic capacity, while remaining more compact and maneuverable than larger row-crop tractors.

- Fuel System: Drain the fuel tank annually to remove water and sediment. Replace the fuel filter every 250 hours to ensure proper fuel flow and prevent injector issues.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation, change the engine oil, and lubricate all grease fittings. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
