John Deere 2130 Hydraulics

[Wendelspanswick]

Please bear with me as my only previous experience of tractor hydraulics is a 1948 Ferguson TE20.

I have recently bought a European made JD 2130 of 1977 vintage and I am trying to get my head round the hydraulics.
I understand the Rockshaft and the Rockshaft select lever with D, LD AND L but I don't see a way of operating the flow to the two remote quick release couplings on the back of the tractor?

There are a pair of spool levers in the cab but these are cable remotes for the spool block mounted next to the engine block for JD175 loader.

These are the control levers listed for SCV cab tractor

So although I have the rear outlets piped it looks like I have no control levers/valves to operate them. Is it just a case of tracking down a set of levers, removing blanking plugs and bolting them on?
Was it common practice to supply them piped but no controls or have they been removed from mine.

If it's a 2130 from Europe I guess that it has the Danish "Secura" cab? It's the square cab. If so, the levers for the hydraulics are located on the floor on the right side of the seat.

 

[Wendelspanswick]

Yes its got the Sekura Cab but no levers unless I have missed them, will have another look in the morning.

Do so, I can't think of a reason to remove them unless someone intended to repair something but didn't complete it.

Btw, the 2130 is a really good machine! It will survive everything, I know two brothers farming quite much that have the habbit of not taking care of their tractors and put way to high load for the size of it. Even they were impressed that it just ran and ran. We have had one with HFWD since new. Sold it two or three years ago with 13500 hours of heavy work. It plowed, drilled, pulled trailers and the last 10-15 years as the machines got bigger and bigger it got a bit undersized (sometimes we had to help it lift heavy machines since it was on the limit). Just a really good tractor, only things we did were an engine rebuild and a new clutch but of course, we took care of it and it's still farming today!

My knowledge of JD tractors built for European sales is very limited. I may not have posted the correct parts photo for your tractor.

It looks just like the levers our 2130 had at least!

Thanks JD4440 "even a blind hog can find an acorn once in a while"!!!

Well I am getting somewhere!
What I thought was the D,LD,L lever is actually the SCV lever, only one, but I have 2 QR couplings? Both couplings are female. The spool block is made up of 3 blocks, the bottom one has pipes for the pump flow and return, the middle and top blocks have the QR couplings piped in and the rate adjustment screws but only the top block has a lever and linkage attached.
My D,LD, L lever is missing, the quadrant and linkages are there but it looks like the actual lever has snapped or come off what looks like a square shaft.

 

[Wendelspanswick]

Sorry I have been a bit dim! Suddenly dawned on me that 1 lever and 2 QR couplings is for a double acting cylinder, still jumping the vast gap from the basic hydraulics on my Fergie!

Part 1 is the bit that looks like it has snapped, what are the chances of getting one of these new?
If not I can fabricate a new one.

Parts key #1 is NLA JD parts number search revealed this: The part number AL25838 was not found. I suppose a salvage yard is your next option.

Thank you Jim and all for your help.
