CASE IH 2388 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Documentation

I’ve been turning wrenches for twenty-eight years, and I can tell you the difference between a job that goes smooth and one that turns into a three-day headache is having the right part number the first time. The CASE IH 2388 Parts Catalog is what you need if you’re rebuilding a radiator shroud or tracking down that elusive bracket for the fan mount. This is not a third-party reprint — it’s the actual factory book used by dealerships. 788 pages of OEM part numbers, exploded views, and hardware callouts. No guesswork.

Parts Breakdown: Radiator & Fan Shroud

The OCR excerpt shows the radiator assembly for the 2388 Axial-Flow Combine built between serial numbers HAJ0292001 and HAJ0300000 (10/04-). Page 1 gives you the exploded view; page 2 lists every nut, bolt, and washer. For example, item 7 is a M8 x 20 x 1.6 washer (part 895-15008) and item 8 is a hex bolt M8 x 12 (614-8012). If you’re replacing the radiator upper hose, part 86983603 is for machines before HAJ0295001; after that serial break it’s 87304647. The catalog splits into left-hand and right-hand channels, upper and lower tanks, and even includes the wiper blade and ball bearing for the cooler wiper. That level of detail keeps your parts counter guy from handing you the wrong thing.

7 Systems Covered in This Catalog

Besides the radiator group, this Parts Catalog covers the entire machine: engine, hydrostatic drive, final drives, cab, electrical, and more. Each section starts with a parts illustration, then gives you the item number, part number, quantity, and description. Because it’s OEM, you get the exact CASE IH numbers — no cross-referencing, no “fits similar models” nonsense. Need a steering column seal? It’s in there. Need the torque spec for the feeder house drive chain? You’ll find the part, but not the torque value — that’s in the service manual. For torque specifications, you want the service manual, not this catalog. This catalog is for ordering parts correctly.

Does This Catalog Include Torque Specs?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It lists part numbers and quantities. If you need torque values, buy the separate service manual. What this catalog does is prevent you from ordering the wrong bolt. Example: the fan shroud bolts on the 2388 are M8 x 12 (item 8), but the radiator support brackets use M8 x 35 (item 23). One wrong length and you’re chasing stripped threads.

3 Reasons to Use Factory OEM Parts Lists Over Aftermarket

Aftermarket catalogs copy from the OEM but often miss updates. CASE IH issued engineering changes mid-production — the radiator hose changed at HAJ0295001. Aftermarket catalogs rarely catch these serial breaks. With the CASE IH 2388 Parts Catalog, you get the exact revision (BSN vs ASN). Also, the part numbers are verifiable through any CASE IH dealer. If you order a “will fit” part, you might get a lower-quality seal that leaks after 200 hours. I’ve seen it happen.

Understand the Assembly Sequence Before You Order

The catalog shows the exploded view in the correct order of installation. For example, the radiator shroud (item 13) is mounted after the tank and channels are in place. The lower radiator hose (item 22) is cut from bulk hose 86989959 — 4850 mm (191 inches) per machine. If you order the exact length pre-cut, part 87408617 covers it. That saves you from cutting and guessing. Also note item 37-39: seals are cut from bulk material 1319664C3 — lengths of 340 mm, 70 mm, and 217 mm. You need to cut your own if you cannot get the pre-cut kit.

Source Validity: This Is the Dealer’s Book

This file comes from a genuine CASE IH factory PDF, not scanned from a photocopy. The part numbers are the same numbers a dealer parts counter uses. I’ve seen too many shops waste an hour on the phone because they brought a part from an aftermarket book that was superseded years ago. This catalog prints the serial number breakpoints. If your combine falls between HAJ0292001 and HAJ0300000, you have the correct data. If yours is outside that range, you need the catalog for your serial number group.

FAQ

Will this catalog work for a 2388 with a different serial number range?

No. This specific catalog covers BTW HAJ0292001 & HAJ0300000 (10/04-). Order the correct one for your machine.

Does it contain wiring diagrams?

No. Wiring diagrams are in the service manual, not the parts catalog. This has exploded parts views and numbers only.

How do I find the part number for the upper radiator tank?

Go to page 2 of the radiator section. Item 3 is the top tank: for BSN HAJ0295001 it’s 87000189; for ASN HAJ0295001 it’s 87302093. Order the one matching your serial number.

Can I use this catalog to rebuild the engine?

Yes, but only for ordering parts. For assembly procedures, torque specs, and clearances, you need the engine service manual. The parts catalog gives you every internal part — rings, pistons, bearings — but no instructions.

If you’re tired of ordering the wrong part and then waiting another week, this is the book your parts counter needs to see. Access the Factory Manual and start getting the right pieces the first time.
