I am still searching and kicking tires for a good reliable mower. I ran into a guy that has some of these jd 212's. I guess these machines did not come with an hour meter so it is a little difficult for me to tell how many hours are one them.
So what are the things to look for if you would consider purchasing one of these? Are there definate things to look for? Would one of these even be a good mower to consider?
I read that these had good tough engines, but even a good tough engine wears out at some point. How should the exhust look when starting from a cold start?
Is the single cylinder instead of a twin cylinder a big deal. Probably more vibration?
I had a John Deere 425 and was amazed at how quiet they were even at full throttle. Are these jd 212's quiet when compared to other brands?
If you have time, I would appreciate your advice and opinion on the old John Deere 212.
Thank you,
