I am new to trying to learn the language of these early 200 series tractors and I know that the 1975 tractors were different and that the engines were different for each of the different models beyond the obvious 2hp power difference.
I also understand there are frame differences seen in the electric PTO vs the manual PTO tractors. I also know the left side cover is different for the hydraulic vs manual lift (not sure if electric lift is unique or like one of the others). I’ve also read that the late manufactured 216s have a larger diameter PTO shaft than early 216s and the rest of the family. I also know there are early and late side panels and grill differences.
So, what other differences are seen in these tractors? Are all the rear transaxle the same - same gears and internals too? How about things like the front axles, spindles, rims etc? Are the engine bolt on items like carb, starter, air cleaners, spark plugs etc the same?
I do have the manuals and have been trying to read them but hoping for a head start on improving my basic understandings. I am starting this journey working on 214 and 216 tractors but I am trying to learn where I can find any parts that I need to replace when I come across good or better than good deals!
Edit: I also found the carburetor for the 210, 212 were the same and the 214 and 216 were the same but different than the lower HP tractors in the series.
