Case IH 1026 Tractor Parts

The Case IH 1026 tractor was introduced in 1971 and produced until 1976, succeeding earlier International Harvester models in the lineup. This tractor features a reliable International Harvester DT-404 diesel engine, delivering approximately 121 engine horsepower and 105 PTO horsepower. The DT-404 is a 404 cubic inch, 6-cylinder, direct-injection diesel engine known for its durability and fuel efficiency. Transmission options included a gear-drive transmission with varying speeds depending on the configuration, typically offering multiple forward and reverse speeds. The 1026 featured a standard 540 RPM PTO, providing power for a wide range of implements. The hydraulic system delivered around 16 GPM of flow, powering multiple remote valves for implements such as planters and cultivators. The 3-point hitch was typically a Category II hitch, capable of lifting several thousand pounds, depending on the specific configuration. The 1026 found applications in row crop farming, hay production, livestock operations for tasks like baling and feeding, and tillage work. Its higher horsepower set it apart from smaller utility tractors in the IH lineup, while its sturdy build distinguished it from lighter row crop tractors.
