John Deere 2130 Tractor Parts
The John Deere 2130 tractor, manufactured from 1973 to 1977, was a popular choice for farmers due to its reliable engine and versatile capabilities. Powered by a 62 horsepower diesel or gasoline engine, the 2130 provided ample power for various tasks. Its PTO horsepower made it well-suited for operating implements like mowers and balers, solidifying its place in many farming operations.
The John Deere 2130 was introduced in 1973 as part of John Deere's '30' series, replacing earlier models and offering improvements in both power and operator comfort. Production continued until 1977. The 2130 was available with either a John Deere 3.9L (239 cu in) 4-cylinder diesel engine producing approximately 62 horsepower, or a John Deere 3.7L (227 cu in) 4-cylinder gasoline engine also around 62 horsepower. Transmission options included a Syncro Range transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse speeds, or a less common partial power shift transmission known as Power Reverser. It delivered around 55 PTO horsepower with a standard 540 RPM PTO. The hydraulic system had a capacity of approximately 19.5 GPM and typically featured 2 remote valves. A Category II 3-point hitch provided ample lifting capacity for various implements. The 2130 found applications in row crop operations, hay production, livestock farming, and light tillage work. It stood out from smaller models like the 1530 with its increased power and heavier build, while offering a more economical alternative to larger, more complex tractors in the John Deere lineup.
