I don't know how much time or thinking that IH put into a 2 plus 2 as the rear end was pretty much an 86 row crop chassis and cab. It was not a from the ground up new design. They were best as a small dairy farm tractor and I remember a string of years back in the 1970's where the autumns were wet so interest was high in the 2 plus 2 for a corn chopping tractor. Working them like a Steiger or Versatile did them in quick. An area dealer brought out a 3388 and we borrowed a 5 bottom plow to pull behind it. That 3388 did not want anymore than that 5 bottom plow back there even though in theory it should have pulled 6 X 16's.

This changed by the early 1980's so the market slipped away by the time the merger came along during the mid 1980's.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books).
