The 3688 was a restyled 986 but there was almost NOTHING in common between a 5088 and ANYTHING built as an 86-series. Everything from the flywheel back was all totally redesigned to be the Deere-Slayer IH hadn't had since the early 1950's.

Frankly, I'd get the IH since nicely kept examples will actually appreciate in value.
