Ford New Holland 9700 Tractor Parts
9700 parts and accessories
The Ford New Holland 9700, manufactured from 1976 to 1979, was a powerful and reliable tractor popular for its robust performance in demanding agricultural tasks. Equipped with a Ford 401 CID diesel engine producing approximately 135 horsepower, and a PTO horsepower around 115, it offered ample power for tillage, planting, and harvesting. Farmers appreciated its durable construction and straightforward mechanical design.
The Ford New Holland 9700 was introduced in 1976 as a key model in Ford's large-frame tractor lineup, continuing production until 1979. It aimed to provide farmers with a tractor that could handle heavier workloads. The 9700 is powered by a Ford 401 cubic inch (6.6L) inline six-cylinder diesel engine, producing around 135 engine horsepower. It's known for its torque and dependability. Transmission options included a 8-speed manual transmission. The 9700 has a PTO horsepower rating of approximately 115 hp, with a standard 540/1000 RPM PTO. Its hydraulic system delivers a flow rate of around 22 GPM, typically with two remote valves, providing the necessary power for implements. It features a Category II 3-point hitch. Commonly used for row crop operations, hay production, and livestock management, the 9700 stood out due to its heavier build, larger tires and axles, giving it better traction and stability compared to smaller Ford models like the 7700 or 8700. The 9700 was replaced by the TW series tractors in the Ford New Holland lineup.

Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 250 hours of operation using high-quality diesel engine oil that meets Ford New Holland specifications. Always replace the oil filter with a genuine or equivalent aftermarket filter to ensure proper filtration.
- Hydraulic System Maintenance: Inspect the hydraulic fluid level regularly and change the hydraulic fluid and filter every 500 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Use the correct type of hydraulic fluid recommended for your tractor model. Check for leaks around hoses, fittings, and cylinders.
- Fuel System Care: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and add a fuel stabilizer, especially during seasonal storage. Replace the fuel filter annually to prevent clogging and ensure optimal engine performance. Drain any water accumulation from the fuel tank regularly.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the winter, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Grease all lubrication points and check antifreeze levels. Consider covering the tractor to protect it from the elements.
