    2130 Clutch not engaging after several years of sitting.

    My 2130 sat up for about 7 years until I finally got around to replacing a water pump and radiator. It surprised me by immediately starting up. I had to fix a fuel line leak, and today I tried to put it back in service. The clutch pedal feels normal, but the clutch is not engaging. I did...

    Deere 2355 Rear Remote Breakaway Connector

    When I bought my 2355, it had what I assume is an original John Deere breakaway rear remote, which I use to control the grapple on my grapple rake. The connector has started leaking, so I thought I would just bypass the connector using a semi-permanant adaptor. The downstream connector looks...

    Obsolete 2130 Fuel Line Part AL25035

    My 1977 Model 2130 has been sitting up for about 7 years. At my age it is just too hard changing implements on my 2355, and life would be a lot easier if I could get the old 2130 going again. So I had a friend install the radiator and water pump I had bought years ago. And today, to my...

    JD 2355 Ran Out of Fuel

    My old 2355 has used a wood dowel as a fuel gauge ever since I bought it five years ago. That worked pretty well until yesterday, when I forgot to stop and check it. It died suddenly on the way back to the house, and I immediately knew I was in trouble. I decided to go ahead and put on a new...

    Loader tractor for 80-year-old bad left knee

    I have a 2130 and a 2355 MFWD, both with FELs, and I love them both. But I do a lot of loader work with a grapple or Starhill jawz clearing brush, and my 80-year-old left knee is complaining. I'm debating getting rid of the 2130 or my older 1020 and getting something that can handle the back...

    2355 FWD Solenoid connections

    A while back my FWD quit disengaging after I was doing some work in a brush field. I found a wire dangling under the transmission, and noticed that the three tabs on the FWD solenoid had no wires connected. I have seen posts that indicate that only two terminals are used, but I can't find...

    Looking for tractor mechanic

    I have three John Deere tractors (a 1020, a 2130, and a 2355), all of which need various minor repairs. Getting all three to my local Deere dealer would be a problem and would likely set me back more than they are worth. I would much prefer finding someone who would come by and work on them at...

    2355 won't start

    I recently bought a 2355, which is pretty new by my standards. After sitting a few months it would not start--not even a click of the solenoid. I charged the battery and cleaned the battery cables, but still no results. It starts just fine if I jump the solenoid. I once had an intermittent...

    JD 2130 Water Pump Confusion

    I had the water pump in my 2130 rebuilt a couple years ago and it has failed again--this time taking out the radiator and the fan. Don't want to go there again. I ordered an AR97708 water pump on EBay that was listed as compatible with my JD2130 (SN 238209L). The JD parts lookup calls for an...

    2130 Fuel Gauge Connection

    Since purchasing my 2130 about ten years ago I have managed just fine using a dip stick for a fuel gauge. But I recently bought a new Starhill Jawz tool for my endless privet war, and it is so much fun that I lost track and ran out of fuel for the first time ever. That experience has made me...

    Loose Neutral Start Switch Connector

    My 2130 has always had intermittent starting issues. Early on I accidentally discovered that I could get it to start by wiggling a large wire that ran under the plate over the transmission just to the left of the range shift lever. I removed the plate and noticed that the connector to the...

    Grease Fitting Repair

    In an earlier thread on grease fitting repair Dunner WI suggested that a stripped 1/4 inch fitting could be replaced by using a 7mm zerk, which is just slightly larger. I assume I would need to drill out the old hole with a 6mm bit and tap with a 7mm tap. I finally did find a source for both...

    Yet another hydraulic leak on my 2130

    After finally getting the hydraulic leak at the radiator fixed and getting the broken brake line closed off temporarily I decided to park the tractor on the concrete driveway today to be sure that both leaks were really fixed. I was disappointed to see yet a third leak--this one dripping about...

    Problem Reattaching Hydraulic Line to Hose on JD 2130

    Today while I was working in the woods I apparently snagged a hydraulic line on a privet root and pulled it loose from the hose. I think it is the short hose that connects to the oil cooler section of the radiator (the red arrow in the image). The white arrow shows where the line enters the...

    2130 Loose Steering: Worn Bell Crank Pin and Axle

    While I had my tractor in to add a safety shield behind the ROPS, I asked my guy to check the play in the steering too. He called and said the bell crank pin and bearings were worn. But when he got it apart, he found that the hole in the axle that receives the pin was also pretty badly worn...

    Heavy Duty Radiator Side Screens For Old 2130?

    In a previous post I mentioned that I use my old 2130 with a grapple rake and a box blade to push up privet and small trees and clear trails in my woods. The grapple rake is good for pushing over privet, pulling it up by the roots, and piling it on the burn pile. The box blade helps clean up...

    Deere 2130 Instrument Panel Rewiring

    I have a 2130 that is supposed to be a 1977 model (SN: 238209L). The instrument panel does not match any of the images in my technical manual or operators manual for either the Bilux or sealed beam models. I think the amber light on the upper left is the air filter pressure light. It lights...

    JD 2130 Starter Removal

    In another thread I described my problems getting the bad starter off my 2130 with a Woods 1020 FEL. The loader frame reduced the already minimal clearance to turn the bolt and cap screw. I bought a half moon wrench, but it was curved too much, and I couldn't even get it on the nut. I finally...

    Removing Woods 1020 Loader

    The frame of my Woods 1020 loader is blocking access to the lower cap screw of the starter on my JD 2130. Looks like I will have to remove the loader and then the loader frame on the right side. The loader has a quick connect, and the legs to support the loader are in an access point on the...

    Fluid Leak From Top of Steering Column on 2130

    I was using my 2130 to move some dirt from a pile to a trench late yesterday afternoon. I backed up and turned left with a full bucket, then put it in forward and made a hard right turn. I felt resistance in the steering and then saw fluid appearing to bubble up from the steering column...
