Case IH 1470 Combine Parts

1470 parts and accessories

The Case IH 1470 combine, produced from 1977 to 1979, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and productive harvesting machine. Equipped with a powerful engine rated around 170 HP and available with header widths up to 24 feet, the 1470 offered a significant boost in capacity. Its conventional threshing system made it a versatile option for various grain crops.

The Case IH 1470 combine harvester was introduced in 1977 and remained in production through 1979. It filled a crucial role in Case IH's combine lineup during that period. The 1470 was powered by an International Harvester DT-466 naturally aspirated diesel engine producing approximately 170 horsepower with a 466 cubic inch displacement. It employed a conventional threshing system, utilizing a 48-inch wide cylinder for effective grain separation. The grain tank capacity was around 160 bushels, and unloading was achieved at a rate of approximately 60 bushels per minute. Header widths ranging from 13 to 24 feet were available to match different field conditions and crop types. While it didn't offer a factory-installed chopper/spreader, aftermarket options were commonly added. The cab offered basic controls and instrumentation, focused on functionality rather than luxury. The Case IH 1470 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, offering a good balance of capacity and reliability for mid-sized farming operations.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to match the crop being harvested. Proper adjustment minimizes grain loss and damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains, especially the main drive belt and feeder chain. Loose belts can slip, reducing performance and causing premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Frequently clean the sieves and chaffer to remove chaff and debris. Blockages can lead to grain loss over the back of the combine.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearing points according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication extends bearing life and prevents costly breakdowns.
