John Deere 2130 Parts Catalog – 275-Page OEM Exploded Views & Part Numbers

Description

Any mechanic who’s ordered the wrong brake valve for a John Deere 2130 Parts Catalog knows the sting. You get the box, open it, and the port spacing is off by a quarter inch. That’s a wasted hour and a core charge you can’t return. The factory Parts Catalog is the only document that kills that guesswork. It gives you the exact part number for every Brake Valve, Brake Oil Line, and Brake Disk in the tractor. No aftermarket guessing. No cross-your-fingers ordering.

This catalog covers the 2130 tractor from front weights to the PTO countershaft. It is not a repair manual—it’s a parts identification tool. When you need to find the right camshaft, valve, rocker arm shaft assembly, or a single seal for the hydraulic pump, this 275-page index walks you to the correct row in the parts book. The alphabetical index starts with Accessory Parts and ends with the Sway Blocks. Page 2 explains the six-column code system that tells you the part number, serial number range, quantity, and description code. That page alone will save you from ordering parts that don’t fit your machine’s vintage.

Brake Valve and Lines: Factory Part Identification

There are three separate brake sections: Brake Disk, Brake Pedal, and Brake Valve / Brake Oil Lines. There is also a dedicated Brake Valve for Hydraulic Trailer Brake. Each exploded view shows the exact orientation of every spring, washer, and line fitting. The part numbers are matched to serial number ranges for the chassis. If your 2130 has a serial number between 100001 and 200000, you can see exactly which valve assembly applies. No more comparing a used part against a blurry online photo.

Camshaft and Valves: Matching the Right Components

The Camshaft / Valves / Rocker Arm Shaft section lists each part in the valve train. You get the cylinder head gasket set, the pushrods, and the rocker arm shaft support. The camshaft itself is broken down by journal diameter if the engine serial number changes. This catalog also includes the Cylinder Head / Rocker Arm Cover assembly and the Engine Gasket Set. When you order a valve, you order the exact one listed for your engine series. Period.

John Deere 2130 Parts Catalog: Navigating the Alphabetical Index

The catalog is structured as a single alphabetical index. Under “B” you find Battery, Belt Pulley, and all the brake entries. Under “F” you find Fuel Injection Nozzle, Fuel Injection Pump (Roto Diesel), and Fuel Pump. The this Wikipedia article on diesel engines explains the Roto Diesel pump theory, but this catalog tells you the part number for the delivery valve holder. If you need to understand the injection pump overhaul procedure, that belongs in the service manual. For part numbers only, this catalog is your reference. For detailed specs, you want the this Wikipedia article on diesel engines and the corresponding technical manual. The parts catalog stays on the workbench when you are ordering.

Electrical Wiring Systems: Using the Code Columns

Four separate electrical wiring sections cover the different fender and lighting configurations. The Code Columns on page 2 show you how to read the Part Number, Serial No. or Year, Quantity, and Parts Description Code. For example, a wiring harness that applies only to tractors with shell type fenders and Bilux headlights has a specific serial number footnote. You will not accidentally order a harness for sealed beam lights. The catalog also includes sections for Lights, Side Lamps, Turn Lights, Tail Lights, and Rear Work Light. Each part is keyed to an illustration.

Why OEM Still Matters for a 1970s Tractor

Aftermarket parts lists often combine multiple model years into one vague table. This factory John Deere catalog is the original print used by dealership parts counters. It lists parts by their OEM part number, not a generic cross-reference. When you order a part using this catalog, you get the right box. That is the difference between a Saturday afternoon with a running tractor and a Monday morning return trip to the dealer. The John Deere 2130 Technical Manual – 454 Pages of Factory Specs for Engine, Cylind gives you the tightening procedures and clearances. The John Deere 2130 Parts Catalog – Factory Specs for Correct Part Identification gives you the part numbers. Both are needed for a proper rebuild. For later models, the John Deere 4500, 4600, 4700 2000 Parts Catalog – OEM Grid Index uses a similar grid indexing system.
