Had some neat features, complete shaft monitoring in its day, buttons for everything don't remember any manual engaging. Great cab also paint quality on White combines was light years better than White tractors. Grain unload system and hydrostatic drive were bullet proof, nothing else was. Final drives and rear steer spindles all failed, chopper would self destruct from roping off rotor, general bearing failures everywhere, had a taste for feeder chains. Aside from that awesome combine, biggest disappointment going to a 1680 was grain loss, it was impossible to throw corn over on a 9700 the CaseIH has to be fiddled with. An ambitious type would buy one and put bigger final drives on as well as a Mud hog, probably replace V8 Perkins, it couldn't handle hydraulic pump drive then basically upgrade all bearings to something bigger and better. In general a CaseIH combine can be gone through and run entire season without fail 9700 series needed daily close inspection and repair.
