HMF 9700, 9750 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM for Grain Headers

If you’re ordering replacement parts for a HMF 9700 or 9750 grain header without the original factory parts book, you’re gambling with downtime. I’ve watched guys order a shield assembly from an aftermarket cross-reference, only to find the bolt pattern is off by a quarter inch because the vendor used a generic drawing. That costs you a day and a truck rental. This HMF 9700, 9750 Parts Catalog is the factory-issued document – 70 pages of OEM part numbers, exploded views, and dimensions in both inches and millimeters. No guesswork.

The manual breaks down every major subsystem: frame tables for headers from 13 feet up to 30 feet, shield assemblies, brackets, straps, angles, and all the fasteners. If you’re trying to match a part number like 1457700W1 or 2555391W1, you’ll find it here with the exact description and quantity per assembly. I’ve used these catalogs for 28 years – they’re what the dealer pulls off the shelf when you call.

What You Get in This 70-Page Parts Catalog

Seven pages of indexed frame tables alone. The manual covers the 9700 and 9750 series with separate sections for early and late production machines (serial number split at V41101). Each table lists the item number, OEM part number, quantity, and a description that includes the header width – for example, Table Asy. (13FT.) (3.96M) with part number 1457700W1. You also get bolt, screw, washer, and nut part numbers so you’re not guessing at thread pitch. 70 pages total, all original Massey Ferguson documentation.

Frame Table Breakdown: Matching Part Numbers to Your Machine

Headers come in different widths – 13’, 18’, 20’, 22’, 24’, 25’, and 30’. The catalog lists separate part numbers for each width. For example, on the 18’ frame table S/N V41101 and before, you’ll find strap part number 2558160W2 (80”) while the 20’ version uses 2558300W2 (92”). Dimensions are given in inches and millimeters – the 80” strap is 2032.0 mm. If you’re rebuilding a frame after a field accident, this is the only way to know you’ve got the right Cutter Bar (part numbers 2557010W1 through 2557050W1 depending on width).

Shield Assemblies and Brackets – Specific Part Numbers for 13ft to 25ft Tables

Shield assemblies are a common wear item. The right and left shields have their own part numbers: Right Shield Assembly 2555391W1 uses bracket 2524890W1, while the left side uses 2556280W1. The catalog also calls out the shield lock pin (1656110W2) and the Klik pin (1628760W2). If you’ve got a header built after S/N V41101, the shield part numbers may differ – the book separates them into different tables. Pay attention to the serial number split; I’ve seen guys order a left shield for a pre-V41101 machine and end up drilling new holes because the bracket spacing changed.

Serial Number Split – Why V41101 Matters

Massey Ferguson changed several components starting at serial number V41101. The catalog dedicates separate pages for machines built before and after that point. For example, the Frame Table on page 10 covers S/N V41101 and before, with different table assemblies (2556890W1 for 18’, 2556910W1 for 20’, etc.). The later tables have different part numbers. If you don’t know your header’s serial number, you risk ordering the wrong frame plate. Locate the serial number plate on the main frame – it’s stamped into the left side near the hitch – and then cross-reference with this book.

Using the Parts Catalog on the Job

When a shield bolt strips or a strap cracks, you don’t have time to measure and guess. Pull this catalog open to the correct frame table, find the item number, and call your dealer with the OEM part number. The exploded-view diagrams (like the one on page 8 for the 13-foot frame) show exactly how everything goes together. No aftermarket interpretation – these are the original factory illustrations. Keep a copy in your shop tablet or print the pages you need for the header model you’re working on. For other HMF equipment, look at related manuals: HMF MF 500 1968 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Parts Book, HMF MF 33 Parts Catalog – Factory Parts Book (330 Pages), and HMF MF3366 1974 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM for Dozer & Loader.

Does this parts catalog include repair procedures or torque specs?

No. This is a parts identification catalog – exploded views and part numbers only. For service procedures, get the factory service manual.

Will this cover both the 9700 and 9750 models?

Yes. The manual covers both models, with separate tables for each header width. The 9700 and 9750 share most frame and shield components; differences are noted by model in the part descriptions.

How do I know if my header is before or after the serial number split?

Look at the serial number plate on the left side of the frame near the hitch. If the number is V41101 or lower, use the tables marked “S/N V41101 & BEFORE”. If higher than V41101, use the later tables. The catalog includes both sets of pages.

Can I use this catalog to order replacement straps for a 25-foot header?

Yes. The frame table for S/N V41101 & BEFORE lists strap part numbers for 25-foot headers: 2558470W2 (122”) and angle part number 255584W2 (122”). Confirm your serial number first.

Don’t waste time and money on aftermarket part lists that might be wrong. Access the Factory Manual and get the OEM part numbers straight from Massey Ferguson. It’s the only way to ensure the bolt holes line up and the shields fit.
