The John Deere 210 lawnmower superseded the John Deere 110 and was built by JD from 1975 until production ceased in 1987 in Horicon, Wisconsin. The bigger version is the John Deere 212 while the smaller version in the same line is the John Deere 200. This article is going to focus almost soley on the 210 lawn mower, but first we will briefly touch on the topic of the John Deere 210LJ which is a commercial loader in current production for JD. It’s PowerTech, wet sleeve, diesel engine provides it with 84 hp. It weighs in at 4720 kg (10,405 lbs) and it’s loader has a 3583 kg (7,900 lbs) breakout capacity while it’s bucket has a capacity of up to 0.96 cu m. Like all commercial vehicles produced by JD, this one is also painted all yellow, with black detailing. But enough about the JD 210LJ…

The John Deere 210 ride on lawnmower has a K241QS, 0.4 liter, 1 cylinder, gasoline engine that produces 10hp that transmits into 4 gears going forward and just one in reverse. The mower itself weighs in at 299 kgs (660 lbs) , while it is 1.16 m (46 inches) wide at it’s widest point and measures 1.71 m (67.5 inches) long. Fortunately for users, the engine is started via a 12 volt battery that is charged via an alternator, rather than a pull cord which was very common at the time.  The fuel capacity of the JD 210 is just 13.2 liters (3.5 US gallons).

The John Deere 210 enjoyed a very long production run with little change to it, which was all down to fantastic design by the John Deere engineers before this wonderful machine went into production. It can still be seen in use today thanks to the quality of the parts and manufacture process.
