Deere 210 Manual Lift Problem

Wolver

New User
Hi All,

I am currently restoring a Deere 210, serial number 60K. I just finished putting back the manual lift and find that when I try and move it forward and back, it catches on the clutch rod just below it. I can force it to go by, but there is definitely something out of adjustment. Any clues or suggestions? Thanks in advance! :)
 
Could you post a photo of the problem area?

I have a 210 and could compare the parts arrangement to how yours is set up.

Perhaps you have one of the rods inserted into a lever from the wrong side, or something like that.

Are you aware you can look at the parts breakdowns at www.jdparts.com?

It MAY be possible to see what may be positioned backward or some such thing by looking at those diagrams.
 
Hi Bob,

Many thanks for your prompt reply. This thing is really driving me nuts and I do have a 212 parts tractor here for comparison, but its a newer serial number. I noticed at the far end away from the lever, the shaft hooks into a collar that has two bolts, one is a self tapping and it has what appears to be an adjustment slide. I adjusted it all the way so that it would provide clearance for the shaft, but it only helped, it didn't fix the problem. I'm going to lift the frame up and maybe take it out again and see what I might have missed. The 212 we have is set up identically and I can seem to find what's causing this. Yes, I've been to the Deere site and printed off the parts pages, but they aren't clear enough to help. I also have a service manual, but no clues there either. Thanks again and next rainy day this week I'll be in the shop trying to figure this out!

Just an odd guess, but did you put the head of the clevis pin on the wrong side? Clearance is minimal on those things.
 
Hi Steve,

Thanks for your note and comment. I just checked this and the clevis is free to move. Still stopping where it's hitting the clutch rod. Thanks again and I'll keep working on it.

Can you get under there and shoot a picture of what's catching? You may have one of the clevises attached to the wrong tab on the rockshaft. It is likely that one or more parts have gotten bent over the years also. I have owned several of these over the years. You could look on the Weekend Freedom Machines website for a thread.
 
I'll try and get a pic of the problem area, but a difficult angle. Will post this afternoon if I can get a clear shot. Thanks!

Hi All,

Found the problem with this tractor to be an adjustment on the clutch rod that I didn't know was there. It allowed a bolt to slide in an oval slot forward and back to just give enough clearance to allow the lift rod to pass over it without hitting. Had to take it all apart to find it, but worth it in the end. The newer 200's did't have this adjustment and instead used a carrier bearing assembly with no adjustment. My guess is the ones like mine gave too much trouble and they changed the design. The 212 parts machine I have had this newer rod and I thought about changing it over, but the frame in the 210 won't allow the bearing assembly to attach. Thanks again for all responses and trying to help. On to the new wiring harness!
