It is not bent- it is VERY hardened steel. Your lift arms are not spread wide enough. The 2210 comes stock with a spreader rod, held in place by cotter pins. Many users buy the John Deere Easy Hitch, which maintains enough distance to spread the bars very wide. Either add the original spreader...

I've been in there a time or two. On reassembly, I found it easy to place the big snap ring onto the shaft right next to the groove for it, install the shaft, tap in the pins, and then push the snap ring into the groove. a big satisfying click.

Have a 2003 2210, small Yanmar engine. Been using Rotella T6 5w-40 year round for most of its life, now about 1300 hours. Turns black really fast, but starts easily in winter in spite of aging glo plugs. I change it yearly, usually in December after leaf clean-up. Never any problems with it...

Hi Fellow Tractor Friends, I read posts often, but haven't posted in years-- haven't needed to. But now I am pulling my hair out with my 2004 John Deere 2210. 3 Cyl. Yanmar Diesel. Several times now it has died with no notice. Acts like it's out of fuel, will start but immediately die...

I realized at 880 hours that my 62c mower deck has never had the gearbox fluid changed. The manual recommends it be done at 500 hours. So I removed the gearbox, and wrestled the plug out (wow- that was some really strong sealant), and expected cruddy sludgy goop after going the extended...

Yesterday I used my 2210 with clamp-on bucket forks to move a large heavy 12 ft Bow Window. Had to lift it from a high decked truck, then carefully bring it down a hill, next up another hill. Not sure of the exact weight, I'll guess 500 pounds. It handled it well, but with little margin to...

Has anyone experienced their Howes diesel supplement getting cloudy with age? I discovered a forgotten bottle in my barn, not certain how old... about half empty. It's slightly cloudy-- and I'm wondering if it's gone bad or contaminated in some manner. Do I dare use it? Running a John...

I have been struggling mightily with my full size grease gun (lever operated). Couldn't seem to get it primed... tried all the tricks I've read about here-- pumping the shaft plunger, unscrewing the top, etc. but regardless, it just wouldn't pump any grease, depsite a fresh tube of...

SUCCESS! Got the shaft removed without too much trouble. Thanks Gator6x4 for mentioning the metal plate on the right side-- it is really the only way to get the C-clip and 2 roll pins removed. I bought a set of roll pin punches, made it pretty easy-- removing the C-clip (in pieces!) was much...

I'm a longtime lurker and reader, but seldom post. But today I need some help. I have an '03 2210, 632 hours, and have the common and dreaded main driveshaft/U-Joint problem. The rear joint was fine, I replaced that one a few years back when I replaced the broken hydro cooling fan. But I've...

Hi all, been lurking and reading for years, this is my first post. You wouldn't believe the amount of fun I've been having trying to replace my broken hydrostatic fan on my 2210 (busted by a stick at some unknown point in the last 200 hours). Removed ROPS, Fenders, Floor and Levers... got the...
