Introduction
International Harvester Farmall 1026: Row-Crop Tractor
The International Harvester 1026 is a row-crop tractor produced between 1970 and 1971 as part of the 826 series. Manufactured in Rock Island, Illinois, USA, this machine was designed to provide reliable power for agricultural operations during the early 1970s.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the International Harvester DT-407, a 6.7-liter, 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It delivers a gross power output of 127 hp (94.7 kW) at a rated speed of 2400 RPM. The engine features a liquid-cooling system and a 16:1 compression ratio, designed to handle sustained field work.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 1026 utilizes a hydrostatic transmission, offering infinite forward and reverse speeds across two ranges. This transmission is paired with a hydraulic disc clutch, allowing for smooth speed adjustment during operation. The tractor was available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations to suit varying traction requirements.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor includes one or two rear valves for implement control. The independent rear Power Take-Off (PTO) supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds, engaged at 2100 engine RPM, providing versatility for various implements. A Category II rear hitch with hydraulic draft control manages implement depth and stability.
Dimensions and Handling
The tractor has a wheelbase of 105 inches (266 cm) and an overall length of 166 inches (421 cm). Its operating weight is 11,100 lbs (5034 kg), with the capacity to reach 14,975 lbs (6792 kg) when ballasted. Steering is assisted by a power steering system, and braking is managed by differential hydraulic dry disc brakes.
