John Deere 1050

The John Deere 1050 is a compact utility tractor available in both 2WD (4x2) and 4WD (MFWD 4WD) variants, catering to a range of agricultural tasks. Produced by Yanmar for John Deere between 1980 and 1989, it is powered by the Yanmar 3T90TJ engine – a 1.7 L, three-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with a bore and stroke of 3.54 inches, yielding a compression ratio of 20.4:1. This setup delivers 37 horsepower at 2400 RPM. The tractor is equipped with a sliding gear transmission, encompassing 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, supported by a mechanical dry disc clutch. It has a manual steering system and differential mechanical internal expanding shoe brakes. The open operator station features a two-post ROPS for safety, and for managing implements, it offers a rear three-point hitch of category I. The tractor also features a live rear PTO running at 540 RPM and an open-center hydraulic system. The sizeable fuel tank holds 11.1 US gallons, and ample capacities for both oil (7 quarts) and coolant (6.55 quarts) are specified for the engine.
