John Deere 2210 Troubleshooting

The John Deere 2210 sub-compact utility tractor was manufactured between 2003 and 2006. The John Deere 2210 powertrain system components: Yanmar 3TNE74 4-cycle three-cylinder indirect injection liquid-cooled naturally aspirated diesel engine and 2-range hydrostatic transmission with infinite forward and reverse gears.

A 61.4 cubic inches (1.05L) engine has a cylinder bore of 2.91" (74 mm), piston stroke of 3.07" (78 mm), and maximum power of 23 hp (17.1 kW). The maximum forward speed - 4.3 mph (6.9 km/h) using low range or 8.5 mph (13.7 km/h) using high range, and maximum reverse speed - 3.2 mph (5.2 km/h) using low range or 6.5 mph (10.4 km/h) using high. The open center hydraulic system used a gear pump with a rated capacity of 3 gpm (11.4 lpm). The hydraulic pressure is 137 bar (1990 psi).

The John Deere 2210 is equipped with a power steering system, wet disc brakes, 18x8.50-10 front tires, and 26x12.00-12 rear tires. The wheelbase is 57.1" (1450 mm). The tractor is compatible with 54" or 62" mid-mount 3-blade mower decks with hydraulic lift system, 46" front-mount single-stage snowblower with clearing height of 12" (305 mm), 54" front-mount blade with cutting depth of 3.5" (89 mm), and John Deere 210 front-end loader with lift capacity to full height of 622 lbs (282 kg).
