Comparison JD 1050 vs ... ?

yanmars · May 20, 2020

I have a Yanmar 336. Basically the same tractor without a turbo. My hood got damaged once with the hood up as I recall and the bucket up and it leaked down and bent it as I recall. It seems some of the JD parts interchanged with the Yanmar but I forget which ones.

I don稚 know on the 3 point for the hoe. I致e never mounted one. I believe someone on this forum had a difficult time finding a head gasket for a 70 series tractor. Many parts are readily available for the 50 series. I would look real close at parts availability before I would by a 70.

That's really interesting -- the 70 was newer, but I notice it's no more expensive (and perhaps cheaper, sometimes) than the 50. Was the 50 just a more popular tractor, such that there's more aftermarket support for it?

I don’t know why the 70 doesn’t have better support. I assume many parts are available from the dealer but someone not long ago had a very difficult time coming up with a head gasket. Most of the parts you need are readily available, both from the dealer and many aftermarket places, for the 50 series. Exceptions would be internal gears, maybe the crank and major parts lije that. Might have to go to the salvage yard for that. I overhauled a 3T90J from a 950 and all the parts I needed were readily available.

Anything I needed for my 1070 I looked up and ordered from JD website. Parts usually on my porch in 1-3 days. Engine is all yanmar so I can't picture shortage of engine or drivetrain parts. When I had the clutch replaced local tractor repair had parts in two days.

I can’t seem to navigate that site. Do they sell parts for a JD950? It’s a Yanmar 3T90J. Those 1070 gaskets are a bunch cheaper than the prices I paid for my 950 parts. Just curious.

It's a storefront for Joe auto spare parts on Alibaba. I just used it as an example of parts availability for 1070 JD Yanmar

Aliexpress is a storefront for small to medium sized sellers in China. Quality varies widely. You will wait a long time for your stuff, especially now that international freight doesn't really move.

I'm not a huge fan of "made in China", to put it mildly, but for things where the only choices were made-in-China, I did try Aliexpress. Quality was very variable. Basically order it, and then forget that you ordered it, and get a nice surprise in a month =)

Also, with respect to the 1070 head gasket, I looked out of curiosity. I did find one for 4TNE84, what's the difference between that and 4TN84?

Yanmar Cylinder Heads | Exhaust | Intake | 3TNE84 | 4TNE84

This was the thread I was thinking of where it was stated the 970 head gasket was hard to come by.

As for the 50 series, the factory head gasket was much, much better quality than the aftermarket gasket from a popular supplier. One aftermarket gasket even had one stud hole punched too small.
