We had an early large bogie wheel model 218 of that type and still have a late model 245 of the same series,also 4 wheels. I think they were better than the later steel sided 300 series.

It's a 217. Had one years back. Great machine.

Think I have that model will try and remember to look when I go out to the barn in the morning. Mine is in need of new lumber but works fine. Thought I saw a small plate on it stating the sn or model number? Another project waiting for me. Regards, John.

. Turns out it is a 212. Found plate front right just above the apron adjusting bolt. Sometimes ya gotta put on your glasses and bend over a bit. Lol. Thanks for the help

Sure looks nice! I have had a 212 for over 40 years but not near as nice. Put a new floor in a few years ago. After seeing yours I might have
to look into cleaning mine up.
