In the Autumn of 2022 I added to my small herd of Deere 200’s. Now, in addition to my two 214’s, I have a 216. The engine starts, the electric PTO engages, but when I put it in gear – NO GO. I am toying with the idea of taking the transaxle out of my first 214 and replacing the transaxle in the “non-moving” 216. We’ll see what time and money allow. I wasn’t looking to purchase another Deere at this time, but I found the price to be so reasonable, it became a moral imperative to purchase this one!
I did find that the rear left tire is filled with liquid. The rear right is not filled. However, as you can see in the photo of the right rear tire, the rim is very rusty. It is apparent, that the liquid leaked out.
