John Deere 2351 Tractor Parts
2351 parts and accessories
The John Deere 2351 tractor, manufactured in the early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and versatile machine. Powered by a diesel engine in the 40-50 horsepower range, the 2351 delivered ample power for various agricultural tasks. Its robust design and efficient PTO made it well-suited for haying, livestock operations, and general farm work.
The John Deere 2351 was produced as part of John Deere's utility tractor lineup. These tractors aimed to provide a balance of power, versatility, and affordability for farmers. The 2351 is powered by a diesel engine (typically manufactured by Yanmar for John Deere), delivering around 45-50 horsepower. The engine displacement is approximately 2.0-2.5 liters depending on the exact engine configuration. Transmissions were typically gear-drive, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds, enhancing maneuverability and control. PTO horsepower is rated around 40-45 HP, generally with a 540 RPM PTO. Hydraulic systems on the 2351 provide sufficient flow for implements, with a capacity around 8-10 GPM. A Category I or II 3-point hitch enabled the use of a wide range of implements. The 2351 found common use in row crop operations, hay production, livestock feeding, and light tillage. It was designed to be more compact and lighter than larger John Deere models, making it well-suited for smaller farms and tasks requiring greater agility.
