Produced between 1975 and 1987, the John Deere 214 is a small duty mowing tractor from John Deere's factory in Horicon, Wis. A 512cc Kohler one-cylinder gasoline engine powers the 214 tractor, which features manual steering, band brakes and a 46-inch wheelbase. As an older model, the 214 is bound to require repairs and routine maintenance; make sure your parts are compatible before going to work.

Accessories
Certain parts compatible with the John Deere 214 are nonessential, but still useful. For instance, while every mower needs a fuel tank cap—the 214 works with John Deere's AM102924 fuel tank cap—not every mower needs a fuel tank cap that also serves as a gas gauge; however John Deere's part number AM36948 fills this role. John Deere's complete replacement seat assembly replaces worn 214 tractor chairs, featuring molded yellow vinyl construction, high resiliency foam padding, a formed steel pan and four bolting points.
