Look these up on TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors to compare the models. That might help you decide which is right for you.

I pick up the John Deere 216 runs good the tires all 4 look new and new starter.. Question 1 how do I install the deck and drive belt. Deck Ser - H047K-4578168M has 3 blades. No amp gauge not wired or broke. The light switch is where the choke is for the carb. No lights. Is the 216 4 speed with a revers. Can any 1 tell me what are the little ball levers blue in color and the blue red handle. Witch side is the brake pedal. And what is the other pedal for. "O" there's about 3" of play when i turn the front wheels is this a easy fix. "O" the tractor ser - C or 0 216K-155803N

What is the difference between Cub Cadet and the other MTD brands like Troy-Bilt, MTD, Ryobi, Yard Man, Yard MAchines, etc, etc?

When I got mine, I compared them all. The other mtd brands looked like cheap crap. I was impressed with th quality of the cub. It was made as well as any of the more expensive brands I looked at. I understand that even though cub is owned by mtd, they are built in their own factory and share no parts from the other mtd brands.

The right side is the brake. The left side is probably a differential lock. The red lever on the left is the throttle. I am not sure what the other red lever does, maybe the PTO engage lever. The black lever with the red tip is the deck height adjuster. Edit, I think the left pedal is a clutch.
