John Deere 1165 Combine Parts
The John Deere 1165 Combine Harvester was a workhorse on many farms, built to deliver reliable grain harvesting. While exact production years are scarce, these combines were typically equipped with engines around 100-150 HP, and offered header widths suitable for medium-sized farms. Known for their conventional separation systems and robust design, the 1165 offered a reliable solution for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn.
The John Deere 1165 represents a pivotal era in combine technology, offering a dependable and efficient solution for farmers during its production years. Though exact production years are difficult to pinpoint, the 1165 was generally produced in the late 1970s and early to mid 1980s. These models were powered by John Deere diesel engines, typically in the 100-150 horsepower range, with displacements suited for demanding harvesting conditions. Featuring a conventional threshing system with a cylinder and concave, the 1165 effectively separated grain from the crop material. The grain tank capacity was approximately 80-120 bushels, depending on the specific configuration. Unloading auger speeds generally ranged from 40-60 bushels per minute, enabling swift grain transfer. Available header widths ranged from 13-18 feet, catering to a variety of field sizes. While specific chopper/spreader options varied, many 1165 models included a straw chopper to manage residue. The cab offered basic operator comforts with controls for adjusting header height, ground speed, and separator settings. The 1165 excelled in harvesting a range of crops including wheat, soybeans, and corn, making it a versatile asset for any grain farm.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance according to the crop being harvested. Proper concave setting minimizes grain loss and damage.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can slip, causing reduced performance and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer regularly to ensure proper air flow and efficient separation. Clogged sieves lead to grain loss and reduced harvest quality.
- Bearing Greasing: Lubricate all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper greasing prevents bearing failure and extends the life of critical components.
