Thank you so much for this video, I didn't realize I needed to loosen the engine idler pulleys first and this becomes much easier to install. I always put the drive belt on and then installed the intermediate pulleys and that was always a bear to do. Been trying to figure out why my drive belt keeps popping off and I am going to assume I need to tighten the tension on the idlers. Also found out my 214 is missing the knob on the front, all I have is the nut.
Would you be able to tell me the demisions for the rear lift rod that goes from the rocker arm to the rear yoke with possible pictures so I can fabricate the lift rod as my john deere 216 did not come with that Rod and the one from a 112 will not fit the 216
The tractor needs to have a rear lift setup and then the lift rod for the tiller attaches near the rear of the tractor. You can see this around the 5:00 mark in the video.
Hey, by chance could you help me out? My father's has a spring and we cannot find out what it does or even replacement for it and the dealer near us was useless
@@outdoorpowerhouse I realize that, I have had this model since new because it’s a Deere. At the time they had a reputation for always supporting the product they sold. Alas things change.
@@johndobb that’s true, and I’ve been pretty happy for the most part with the parts that are still available for the tractors. These 200 series and their attachments haven’t been made for about 35 years now. Unfortunately if the demand isn’t there then Deere can’t justify making the parts to have them sit on the shelf.
I was fortunate to vet all service repair books with my 216t.

What a PIA!
These old tractors were known for being the most ergonomic but they sure last a really long time when taken care of.
Great video!
Thanks!
Short Belt # is M47770. Long Belt to tiller is M47771
What is the numbrt for the belt that goes from the pto to the mule drive? Thank you
It depends which tractor. For the 200 series tractor it’s M47770. For the 110/112 flat fender tractors, it’s M43489.
Do you (or anyone?) know the part number of the belt from the mule drive to the tiller? (31 tiller, 214 tractor)
M47771
Did they make these tillers for a long time ?
Yes, I believe they were made from the late 60’s to the late 80’s.

Unfortunately I no longer have this tractor.
Factory set at 11-3/4 from clevis pin to clevis pin. But one yoke is threaded so you can adjust total length of lift rod if needed.
Where does the rod hook up to under the yractor

Where did it come from?
@outdoorpowerhouse it's attached to it just doesn't know what it does. It's a big yellow one some have them apparently and some don't
Attached to what? What model tractor is this on? I’ll try and help you out but more details are needed.
I'm asking my dad for where exactly it is. All I have is a picture. But it's off a 210
@outdoorpowerhouse 110 sorry typed wrong
Is the 43489 for a 112 flat/square fender with the mid mount mule drive? Thanks
Yes, all of these tractors require the mule drive to use the tiller, but that belt is specific to the 110/112 tractors.
@@outdoorpowerhouse so the 110and 112 u r talking r the square fenders ones right is there any way to mount a 31 On a round fender
@@chevymetrodriver yes I’m talking about square fender tractors. The round fender tractors use a model 30 tiller.
My 210 doesn't have those mounting holes on the rear end
They all have the holes in the frame. What you might not have is the lower studs that the tiller sits on that go into the bottom of the frame.
Yeah your right I had yo check it over a few times and found the holes just not the studs but a couple boltsand a sleeve will work just fine
These things are pretty much worthless now that replacement tines are no longer available
It’s important when buying one that you look at the condition of the tines for that reason.

Talk more clearly! You sound like you just got back from the bar.
Or maybe you just can’t hear?
I can hear him fine
