Ok I'm stuck between these two tractors an old jd 216 1 cyl 16hp in mint condition with no deck for $350or an old jd 116 2 cyl 16hp (a little beaten up) with no deck but a plow for $425 please see the pictures and reply with which one is a better buy. please reply!
P.S I'm only using the tractors to pull a little trailer with a mower, weed wacker, and blower.
Thanks,
Chris.

The 216 appears to be a HD machine compared to the 116.

Is the twin in the 116 a Vanguard ?

I would choose the 216 for $350 because it is heavier, has larger tires and is a 200 series machine as opposed to the 100 series. Just hink it would be better for pulling a trailer plus the fact you did say it is in mint condition, best reason of all.
