Anyone ever "lost" 3rd & 4th gear on a 210?

Local CL add has a one owner 210 with a few "issues" noted. Most concerning is that " 3rd and 4th gears do not work".

Anyone have experience with issues of the sort? I have a parts transmission out of the "Rescue 212" that I could potentially harvest parts from...

Would be easier just to swap the rears out,can usually be done in about an hour.
Nice to keep the parts around as they come in handy but what I forget to do is mark the bad ones I have and why they are sitting on the shelf.

Agreed on the simplicity of the rear swap. Unfortunately I'm out of complete spares at this point

Realistically I don't need another project, but what fun is it to think realistically.

I believe I've got a rear I'd part with.

Sounds like one of the forks is damaged. R, 1, and 2 use one and 3 and 4 use another.

Thank you @Chaser I'll keep that in mind.

Good to know @MiniHomesteader. Is it safe to say that the only way to know for sure is to open it up?

At this point I'm probably going to keep my powder dry and see if they publicly drop the price. Then again I could always make a low offer...

I think you can pull the shift tower off and get an idea if one fork is more loose than the other.

Thanks @MiniHomesteader. I'll have to check that out on the parts transaxle that I have.

Thinking a bit more about this I do have a line on another 212 that has a good transmission and a nice set of wheel weights that I might be able to get a deal on... Only problem would be finding a place to stash a second parts tractor...

I've still got a set of skinny front wheels with tri ribs.
Just saying.

And today I see 2 each 210 parts tractors for under $100 each.... No photos though...
