I'm facing the same decission. I "inherited" a 1976 214 from my father, but it's starting to burn too much oil. The engine was overhauled about 7 or 8 years ago I'm told, but when they got it open all they had to do was put in a new piston and hone out the cylinder. Man, I'm really hoping that I'm able to save this mower. It's part of the family. It worked on the farm for many years pulling empty wagons, etc. whenever it wasn't mowing about 3 acres of grass every week. Shoot, Dad even slid it into the pond one day! It went under completely while it was still running. Took us a week to clean out the rear end and such, but it still ran fine! That really says something about the old Deere's in my book.
