Ford New Holland 5100 Tractor Parts

The Ford 5100 was introduced in 1968 as part of Ford's Thousand Series tractor line, replacing earlier models. Production continued until 1975. The 5100 was available with either a Ford 201 cubic inch 3-cylinder diesel engine producing approximately 54 horsepower, or a gasoline version of the same displacement, also rated at 54 HP. This engine provided ample power for its size. The transmission was typically a gear-type, with options including an 8-speed or a 6-speed (depending on year and configuration). PTO horsepower was rated around 47 HP, operating at 540 RPM. The hydraulic system had a capacity of approximately 7.5 GPM, powering the 3-point hitch, which was a Category II hitch capable of lifting around 3500 lbs. The 5100 found its niche in various farming applications, including row crop cultivation, hay production, livestock operations, and light tillage. It distinguished itself through its balanced power-to-weight ratio and dependable performance, making it a cost-effective and versatile choice for small to medium-sized farms. It filled a gap between smaller utility tractors and larger row-crop models in the Ford lineup.
