John Deere 1177 Combine Parts

1177 parts and accessories

The John Deere 1177 combine, produced from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and efficient harvesting solution. Powered by a John Deere diesel engine producing around 115-140 HP (depending on year and market), it offered header widths ranging from 13 to 20 feet. Its conventional threshing system provided excellent grain quality and cleaning, making it a staple on many farms.

The John Deere 1177 combine was introduced as part of the John Deere '77 series, designed to offer increased productivity and efficiency compared to earlier models. Production spanned from approximately 1977 to 1986. The engine was typically a John Deere 6-cylinder diesel engine, ranging from 115 to 140 horsepower depending on the year and specific configuration; displacement around 329-359 cubic inches. The 1177 utilized a conventional threshing system, featuring a cylinder with rasp bars and a concave. This system provided effective grain separation while minimizing grain damage. Grain tank capacity was approximately 115 bushels, and the unloading auger could empty the tank at a rate of around 35-40 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet, allowing for versatility across different field sizes and crop types. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage crop residue after harvest. The cab offered improved operator comfort and visibility compared to previous models. The John Deere 1177 excelled at harvesting a variety of crops, including wheat, soybeans, and corn.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for specific settings for different crops.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect belt and chain tension frequently and adjust as needed to prevent slippage and premature wear. Loose belts and chains can significantly reduce the efficiency of the combine.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffer to maintain proper airflow and ensure clean grain. Blocked sieves can lead to excessive grain loss.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prevent premature bearing failure. Pay particular attention to bearings in high-stress areas, such as the header and threshing system.
