The International Harvester 5488 was manufactured from 1981 through 1985 as part of the company's advanced 50 Series tractor lineup. Powered by a turbocharged DT466 7.6-liter, six-cylinder diesel engine producing approximately 187 PTO horsepower, the 5488 represented one of International Harvester's most powerful row-crop tractors of its era. Its advanced 18-speed transmission, improved hydraulic system, and redesigned cab provided greater efficiency and operator comfort during demanding agricultural operations. The optional front wheel assist system delivered additional traction for heavy tillage, planting, and pulling large implements across challenging field conditions. Farmers appreciated the 5488 for its impressive pulling power, rugged construction, and updated technology. As one of the final tractor designs developed by International Harvester before the formation of Case IH in 1985, the 5488 holds a special place in agricultural history. Today, it remains a highly desirable classic among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the engineering and legacy of International Harvester's final generation of red tractors.
