The John Deere 1750 is a 2WD or 4WD utility tractor. This model was manufactured from 1987 to 1994. The John Deere 1750 tractor is powered by 179.4 cubic inches (2.9L) 4-cycle, three-cylinder liquid cooled diesel engine with maximum output power of 50.1 hp (37.3 kw) and 185 Nm (136 lb-ft) of max torque at 1300 rpm.

The John Deere 1750 is fitted with three transmission options: 8x4 synchromesh gear transmission, 16x8 two-speed powershift transmission, or 12x8 creeper transmission.

Max. forward speed - 18.6 mph (30 km/h), maximum reverse speed - 7.8 mph (12.5 km/h). The closed center hydraulic system includes a variable displacement pump with a flow rate of 11.6 gpm (43.9 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 2750 psi (190 bar). The 4-wheel drive models are equipped with 11.2x24 front tyres and 14.9x28 rear tyres. The 6.50x16 front tyres and 12.4x32 rear tyres fit 2-wheel drive tractors. The wheel base is 80.7 in (2040 mm).
