warren bell The 200 series is pretty cool its one of JD's best lawn tractors to date. Tough old machines! Yes I do have a fair sized collection of random toys and it seems to be growing 😲. Thanks for watching bud!
Diesel J One thing I know forsure is they don't make things like they used to! This old tractor is solid as a rock! I do have a soft spot for old relics.
Yes you are right Chris....my 80 year old grand dad still has HIS mom and dads old refrigerator from the 50s never had anything done to it....it amazes me every time I go look at it in his house just flat amazing and still runs like a clock! I guess they don't make things like they use to because the people who made them wouldn't stay in business long lol
+Diesel J that's to funny my grandfather has the same thing mid 50's fridge still in use! Best fridge I have ever seen and it looks very cool. It's rounded at the top
I’ve ha multiple 200 series and they all been manual lift. Well I’m buying a 214 electric lift with tiller just like yours. How does the electric lift do with tiller
Thought I’d make sure because I heard sometimes the electric lift actuator doesn’t like tillers or snowblowers. Would mind seeing more videos of this tractor. I personally love the 200 series. I own a 140 112rf 300 318 and around 5 other cheap tractors
I have a 214, manual lift, W/tiller, plow, and blower. Need 2 feet to lift the accessories. You say the lift is electric, and not hyd.? Or does an elect. motor run a hyd. pump?
@@joequillun7790 it's a self contained electrical system. An electric motor moves a long rod similar to a power window motor in a car but much bigger. No Hydraulic involved. The hydraulic system is supposed to be better. However mine has never gave me trouble. yet.......
Thanx for the reply Chris. I'll have-ta look into it. Good luck with your new acquisition.The 214 is a neat little machine, but keep your eyes open for more ballast.Tire chains,wheel weights, + suitcase weights will help a lot.
I just got a 214 on trade recently, the guy didn't know what he had because it has the hydraulic lift. The hydraulic lifts complete sell for upwards of $500 on eBay.
Yup they sell for high prices. However around here I have seen lots of tractors sell for under and a grand with hydraulic lift. The same guy I got this one from had a 216 with hydraulic lift for $600.
Great video! I just picked up a 1979 JD 214 last night. Thanks for sharing. You have a new Sub!
Forgot the 200 and 208
👍👍👍
Interesting info, learned some thing about my 214, looks like you have a few toys.

My father-in-law just restored one, where can a person find an original seat?

You forgot about the John Deere 208
You left out the jd 200 in your roll call
200 and 208.
Nice, I just picked up one myself, have the tiller too! I’m a little jealous of the electric lift. Check out the videos about mine on my channel!
StuffYouCanDo2 Hydralic lift is even better
This and That with Chris It sure is. Unfortunately neither of them show up too often these days.
StuffYouCanDo2 If you are willing to spend coin they are available
This and That with Chris Yeah that’s true. I have the spring assist on mine, even that wasn’t cheap.
StuffYouCanDo2 I hear ya
Lol! You're not answering your wife....
I hope you didn't repaint that!!!
