If it didn’t have hydraulic deck lift it would be a 220, if it did it would be a 222. Just a thought.

Both the 220 and the 222 could be ordered either with manual or hydraulic lift, the only difference was the horsepower. All 224's were built with hydraulic lift standard.

Noel, that’s what I was thinking. I was looking at manuals and since it was not a hydraulic lift model, I was thinking it was a 210 which has the 10 hp Kohler. It also does not have the EZ adjust clutch. I’m not sure what year they started producing the EZ put this one would be earlier. Thanks for your input Noel. Harry

The 210 is not hydraulic drive, it has a 2300 series Peerless transaxle so this is likely a 220 or 222. The ez adjust clutch was first introduced on the 1978 production tractors.

I posted on CL that I was looking for a hood for the 200 series GT. Today someone contacted me saying he had two. This person had 6 200 series GT’s. Two he uses and four were parts tractors. I purchased one of the hoods for $20 which I thought was a deal. The worst was driving there and back in traffic. Harry

Nice score, Harry!

Nice score for sure . Looks in good shape and the head lights are still there.

That looks like a really nice hood for the price !
I'm right with you on the headaches of driving in traffic... We live to the west of Toronto and dread driving there. Our place up north is on the other side of Toronto and we'll get up at 4am and be out the door before 5 just so we can avoid morning rush hour and all the on the highway

Nice looking bonnet Harry.

Fan came in so I installed it today. I fixed the oil cooler and need to test it for leaks before installation. Harry

It rained this afternoon so I got a little shop time. Reworked the hydraulic line running between front loader lift cylinders. The original configuration prevented the hood from opening and closing. Put the hood on just to check the fit. Then removed the weight box and rear fenders to fix seat support that was bent. Also will be removing the tvc which seems to possibly have a broken spring in the spool. More work than I expected but I can’t sell it until it works right. That’s just the way I roll. Harry

Put some after dinner hours on this project. Sometimes you have to plan gather parts and then marathon it. Fixed the oil cooler leak a few weeks ago so mounted it and connected the hoses. Parts for exhaust were purchased so mounted muffler and made bracket to hold it. Started to get rid of some of that awlful green color. Still have to fix a few welds that were sub par and hopefully try to fire this Kohler up. Harry
