Good job! Had one of these (212) several years ago and sold it. Have a '71 112 w/46'' deck and a 110 w/38'' deck that was my Uncles. I like the 112's better, especially to mow on! Great video, btw.
I took the engine out for another project. It has a 8hp Briggs on it now. The 212cc is good enough to run a 42"deck if you don't mow at full speed. I'm not Shure how you'd hook up the PTO clutch on it though.
Your rear axle bearings are screaming it should not be that loud. My 212 is quiet, & have a 210 that screams like that. Also if you put a bigger pulley on the engine, with a thinner belt you can get more speed. The stock is a 3/4 v belt, & when I went to a 1/2” I gained 3mph. You need a 420 in it.
I was thinking something isn't right. It sounds worse in video than it does in person, but it's definitely loud. next time I start it I'm going to bring it up and change the transmission oil. there's a chance it might not have any in it lol.
@@IMPRIOR87, I own 5 of these 2300s, 3 in tractors, 2 as spares, & both of my spare transmissions came from tractors that were worn out. They leaked a lot of oil, & probably kept having to fill them up. The ones I’ve had that were rly bad I’d just add a better filler port to more easily fill it w oil. I’ve only had 1 tractor that didn’t leak like crazy, & when I bought it 7yrs ago it had decent oil in it, I checked it 2yrs ago, & wasn’t milky so I left it. Probably need to change it out though next engine oil change. Everything gets changed after 1yr or 6 months of heavy use.

How has this been doing? I’ve got a 210 that I may need to repower soon 😢. Have you ran it with a mowing deck?

Please drop a preditor ghost engine. It does 6000 rpm and has 10 hp
Nah he needs a 10hp Dsl. Predator is a good engine but he needs a 420. Thing is kinda underpowered.

I did some horse trading recently and ended up with the same year looking tractor you have there... Could you tell me what year that is:-)? Thank you
