In regards to your price question, I just finished a ground up restoration of a 2wd 1050 including rebuilding the engine, clutches, brakes, injectors etc. I paid $4000 for an 81 model with 3000 hrs and put $2000 on the rebuild doing all of the labor myself. I am really impressed with the engineering and quality of the 1050. I would do it again and have been offered more than I have in it several times.

In central Arkansas, the 1050 goes for $6800 up w/o implements and I have seen them in southen Mo. for $8250 sans implements.

Most that I looked at were in the 7000 range with an avg of 1800 hours. I would do it again and you will always get your money back with a Deere. All of the parts will have to come from deere as the tractor is still too new for aftermarket parts, but everything I ordered was delivered in 3 days and it is all quality.

I have parts manuals, etc. let me know if i can help.

Need help with specs for valve settings and clutch set up info for pre 11000 1050 (1981). With the latest Arkansas Ice storm, I decided to do the right thing and finally do what has been needed. Clutches need to be replaced and Deere wants around $250 for each plate....ouch. We have a good brake and clutch service here and why couldn't I have these clutches resurfaced like they did my brakes???? Does anyone have any experience with this or am I the only cheap skate that thinks Deere parts are way to expensive?Any help with a site that lists specs or the valve settings would be greatly appreciated.Happy new year to all, John Camponovo in Central Arkansas

I just purchased a 1050 with 3000 hrs showing on broken tach. Starts right up every time and needs TLC. I am going through everything and wondering is synthetic oil in crankcase and Hyd. system is approved.Also the engine runs smooth and no lower end noise but each time you accelerate it smokes a lot until rpm is reached. This is my first diesel and wonder if injectors need service. I have changed all of the air filters and the tubo does not have any excessive axial play in the shaft??thanks John Camponovo
