john deere 214

I have a JD 214 and after the PTO/mower deck have run for a while (2-20 minutes) the belt twists so that the V is not in the PTO groove (it's "upside down"). Can anyone suggest possible causes/solutions? Thanks! Jeff

Hi, I have a 1983 John Deere 214 that will not charge. Several years ago, it would not turn over, so I tried to bypass the switch, and ran a jumper wire from the positive terminal of the battery directly to the starter, but I got sparks only as I recall. I finally determined that the purple...

Can anyone tell me about the variable drive on the old but great machine. I am having trouble with it pulling in thick grass and moving the variable drive lever sometimes all the way down it will catch. I put a new belt on at the first of the season and got better and adjusted the drive by...

Hello all new to this site as I have just bought myself a riding Lawn Mower. It's a John Deere 214 Product Id # M00214X363754 with a Kohler 14 hp Model # K321AQS, Spec # 60318 and finally the serial # 1605606694. What I'm trying to find out is what year exactly is this mower. I bought it...

I'm getting eager to put the JD 214 (14hp Kohler) to work. I have no service history. It was owned by a farmer who used it to mow a horse lot. The cosmetics were sad, but mechanically solid. Goes, starts, idles smoothly and doesn't smoke. I'm thinking: grease all fittings, check trans axle...

Just picked up a JD 214 that was being used to mow a farmer's pasture. The mechanicals seem good. Strong Kohler engine. Trans and steering good. Pto functions. The deck was off and there is no belt from pto (electric) to the mower deck. I'm replacing the blades (chewed to heck) and welding...

Hi First time on this site. I hope that I can obtain information in rectifying ignition problems. I had bought a john deere 214 garden tractor. It was 2nd hand. Six years ago the engine quit. I was surprised that this engine lasted for 30 years. I cannot say anything bad about the Kohler...

I have a JD 214 lawn tractor, oldie but great machine... Unfortunately, I have a PTO issue with the lever to engage/ disengage it. When I go to engage the PTO (whether mower or snow blower) the link to the clutch seems to slip either past or off the clutch engaged position so the clutch...

I am having issues with my '76 214. It seems to have an electrical fault, but I am not sure where it is coming from. It first seemed like the battery had gone dead, as it had needed jumping in the past. However, with the last time, it began to have an intermittent issue with getting power to...

Got an old 214 for $600 a few years ago. Its seen its better days but for the price, i like it. I had to replace the fuel pump on it and a few other miscelaneous parts recently.

I know where I can get a 1975 (ish) 214 with a 46" mower, tiller, 37A tiller and cab for $600. Everything works and runs. Machine has been maintained, but needs a little cosmetics and some minor tinkering. The cab needs one new window and the blower needs a new sprocket among other things. I...

Hi, I'll be moving into a 1.3 acre lot and house with a basement walk out (so part of the lawn has a grade) and was wondering if a JD 214 will handle that? I keep reading that the older entry level tractors are so much better than the new entry level tractors, so I'm asking whether an older...
