Paul E. 5 #1 Posted June 12, 2021 Hi All. I was delighted to find this forum. I was struggling to find advice for maintaining my Europa 212-5. Given its age, parts are are often a struggle to find. All best wishes. Paul 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,387 #2 Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) @Paul E. do you have any of your 212? And maybe some history of how you came upon it. Edited June 12, 2021 by rjg854 sp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Briggs, Onan or Kawasaki? Parts here are harder to find in recent years. This year alone, 3 small-engine workshop's stopped in a radius of 20 miles. from 5 to 2. Internet is the way we have to go now.. Edited June 12, 2021 by Maxwell-8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul E. 5 #7 Posted June 13, 2021 Thank you for the kind responses to my first post. I will post some images soon. The engine is Kawasaki. The most recent issue I had with it was sourcing a reasonably priced mower deck belt. The part number of the belt for the 36" rear discharge deck is difficult to ascertain. It appears to have changed since it was first issued. Are there US dealers prepared to deal with the UK.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #8 Posted June 14, 2021 I've found a company called Eriks very good for the supply of belts and bearings. They have a depot in Norwich. If you take the original belt to them, assuming you have it, they should fix you up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 761 #9 Posted June 14, 2021 Hello Paul, A belated welcome. I'm sure we can sort your problem and hopefully locate what you need here in UK. Can you post the serial number of your tractor and deck on here?. The 212-5 was produced between 1988-91 (with Kawasaki motors).The fact that it is a Europa should not deviate much from the standard parts and layout hopefully. Lastly, can you tell us what info on the parts you need and where you have obtained the info from?. We can then search in different areas. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,050 #10 Posted June 15, 2021 This should be the mower belt. May not be the same mower deck model but the belt should be the same. Click on the fuzzy picture Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
