Case IH 2130 Troubleshooting

The Case IH 2130 is a 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive 2100 series orchard-vineyard tractor. This model was manufactured from 1988 to 1993. The Case IH 2130 tractor is powered by SLH 1000.3A 3-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine.

The 183.1 cubic inches (3 L) engine has a cylinder bore of 4.14" (105 mm), piston stroke of 4.55" (115 mm), and rated power of 52 hp (38.5 kW). The Case IH 2130 is equipped with two transmission options: 8x8 partially synchronized transmission and 12x12 partially synchronized transmission. The maximum travel speed (forward and reverse): 18.1 mph (29.2 km/h).

The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with rated fluid flow of 15.6 gal/min (59 l/min). The 2WD models are equipped with 5.50-16 or 7.50-16 front tires and 13.6R28 or 14.9R28 rear tires. The 8.25-16 or 7.50-18 front tires and 13.6R28 rear tires are used for 4WD tractors. The wheelbase is 78 in (1980 mm) for 4x2 (2WD) models and 76.6 in (1940 mm) for 4x4 (4WD) models.
