ITS FINALY DONE!!!!! restoring 1979 John deere 216 hydraulic lift part #4 (reassembly)

[@n8nkqrp595]

Hi Mike. That machine is sweet! I have a nice 318 with 4-way blade that I use for plowing snow. What I yearn for is a nice 140 H3. I want gears, not a hydro. Regarding your feet: I'm also on KZbin. I'm a ham radio freak. I'm also a retired biomedical engineer and 64 years old. When I got my 318, I fell in love with it- and I fell in love with wrenching on it in my garage in bare feet. There is nothing better. Very relaxing, and it feels good. Somehow, Mike, I feel more connected with our green planet when I'm bare footed. Ditto working out in the garden. The feeling of warm soil on your feet goes straight to your soul. Thank you! Be well Sir :) dit dit

Going to need a bigger tractor for the work, pulling a lot of weight

[@deanfarr3249]

I got a 1987 216 john deere I am working on restoring hopefully I get it done and running by the summer

[@mikestarcher]

I have an 87 216 also but I'm gonna sell mine.

[@deanfarr3249]

@mikestarcher how's the shape of the grille on it I need a grille for mine

[@AshtonVanderlaan]

Where did you get the front tires from? I keep looking for some like that and can’t seem to find them anywhere.

[@mikestarcher]

They're out of stock everywhere right now you can't get them currently

Live this week?

[@mikestarcher]

Unless plans change

[@ThatMowerMan]

Will do! Won’t miss it this time.

Dude, you're on KZbin, put some shoes on! Nice job on the tractor though.

[@mikestarcher]

How about mind your own business.

[@briankelley6185]

I was wondering ifvyou could make a video on where all the springs are on the 200 series. I have a 210 that broke a couple of springs and i dont know enough about them to know where they go.

[@mikestarcher]

Are you talking the clutch springs or a helper spring or pto spring?

[@briankelley6185]

Not sure but if you do a short video with good light from underneath front to back would help a lot

[@mikestarcher]

@@briankelley6185 I don't really have a way to get a good one. I can mabey post some pics from parts book in the community tab

[@briankelley6185]

That would work too. Maybe you can talk to Maniac Mower I saw one of his videos where he one up but it was dark and he moved to fast

[@briankelley6185]

Or if you have a video that has the fender off just the frame and down on
