Case IH 2870 Tractor Parts

2870 parts and accessories

The Case IH 2870 tractor, manufactured from 1984 to 1987, was a popular choice for farmers needing a powerful and reliable machine. Powered by a Cummins NTA-855-A diesel engine producing around 300 horsepower, it delivered ample power for demanding tasks. Its robust design and high PTO horsepower made it well-suited for a variety of agricultural applications.

The Case IH 2870 was introduced as part of the expansion of Case IH's large-frame tractor lineup, filling a need for high-horsepower, four-wheel-drive tractors. Production ran from 1984 to 1987. The 2870 features a Cummins NTA-855-A diesel engine, a 14.0 liter (855 cubic inch) turbocharged inline-six, delivering approximately 300 horsepower. This engine was known for its durability and lugging ability, important for heavy field work. The transmission is a robust 12-speed forward, 3-reverse gear transmission. The PTO delivers around 240 horsepower at 1000 RPM. The hydraulic system has a capacity of approximately 35 GPM, with typically three remote valves available. It features a Category III 3-point hitch capable of lifting substantial implements. The 2870 was commonly used for primary tillage operations such as plowing and disking, as well as for pulling large planters and grain drills. Its size and power also made it suitable for haying operations and livestock farms needing to move large amounts of feed. Compared to smaller Case IH tractors, the 2870 offered significantly more power and hydraulic capacity, allowing it to handle larger implements and cover more ground.

Maintenance Tips

Engine Oil and Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours using a high-quality diesel engine oil and a filter meeting Case IH specifications. Regularly check the oil level.
Hydraulic System Maintenance: Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks regularly. Change the hydraulic fluid and filter every 500 hours to prevent contamination and maintain optimal performance.
Fuel System Care: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel. Drain the fuel/water separator regularly to prevent water and sediment from entering the fuel system. Consider using a fuel additive during cold weather to prevent gelling.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, fill the fuel tank to prevent condensation. Change the engine oil and filter, and lubricate all grease fittings. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
