Welcome @Norfolk_Boy definitely not a 1979, I believe it’s a mid 80’s machine, 85 or newer? @Brockport Bill may be able to help you with this? He’s a really nice guy and I’m sure he will help if he can.

Cheers Mick, fine looking machine you have there. I was just looking at the serial number on mine, am I right in thinking that the last 2 numbers are the year of manufacture? mine is 79

Garry @gwest_ca is our numbers guy. Wheel Horse had some deep dark secret numbering system and European numbers seem to have not been the same as in the states                                      .I think the 211-3 was made in the 1985 to 1988 time frame.

thanks Don for kind words -- here is info from TractorData.com web site and a link -- the Red Sq " Interchange list" here on the tool bar also shows same info  - - that 211-3 was from 1985-87 - TractorData link tells how to read serial numbers https://www.tractordata.com/articles/technical/serialnumbers.html

 

if you go to partstree.com to search 211-3 in the model field it will match the respective year to your tractors serial number https://www.partstree.com/models/22-11b302-211-3-toro-yard-tractor-1986  --- Also if you go to Toro Master Parts Viewer it will also match your serial number to the year. Good luck  - let us know if that info is what you wanted????

 

as an fyi -- I keep all these link addresses in my Favorites Bookmmarks for convenient reference -- here is the Toro Wheel Horse link https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm?xCaller=Toro

Excellent, I cant thank you guys enough for such helpful and friendly replies to my post. 

 

I think I'm getting somewhere, so from the partstree website my model number B2-11B302 tells me its an 86 211-3 so should have a rear discharge cutting deck which is model number 05-36XR05. Now just to get the belts!

Hi there and welcome, these guys are really helpful and know everything. When you know the part number or length of the belt I suggest you try Bearing Boys, they are up in Norfolk somewhere and I have used them many times over the years. Andrew.

Hi everyone, 

 

I thought I would post a quick update. 

 

We've put the deck together and managed to get a belt that fits. A clean up and a new seat fitted and here's how its looking now.

 

Only problem we have at the minute is that the belt from the deck to the motor seems to rest a bar on the underside when the deck is up. Is this normal? can anyone see if we're doing anything wrong here? Also the belt is a little loose although seems to be the correct one from the drawings. Thanks in advance! 

 

The final picture is with the deck down

I don't have any experience with the vertical engine tractors, but if the deck disengages when it is raised, the belt hitting that rod should not be a problem.    Maybe other members with one of these tractors will offer advice.
