John Deere 1032 Combine Parts
1032 parts and accessories
The John Deere 1032 combine, produced from approximately 1974-1980, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and straightforward harvesting solution. Powered by a John Deere diesel engine offering around 105 HP, the 1032 was typically equipped with header widths ranging from 13 to 15 feet. Its conventional cylinder and concave system made it effective for harvesting a variety of grains, particularly wheat and soybeans.
The John Deere 1032 combine was a workhorse on many farms during its production run from approximately 1974 to 1980. It was designed to be a reliable and affordable option for smaller to medium-sized operations. Powering the 1032 was a John Deere 404 cubic inch diesel engine, generating approximately 105 horsepower. This provided sufficient power for its header and threshing capabilities. The 1032 used a conventional threshing system with a cylinder and concave. Grain tank capacity was around 70 bushels. Unloading rates were generally around 30-40 bushels per minute. Header widths offered typically ranged from 13 to 15 feet, offering flexibility for different field sizes. While chopper and spreader options existed, they weren't universally equipped, depending on the original purchaser's needs. The cab, while not as luxurious as later models, provided basic operator comfort and control. The John Deere 1032 proved particularly adept at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and other small grains.
