Chas - good luck with the 212. You'll get a lot of seat time if you plan on doing a 3/4 mile driveway with a 212 blower
Spend some time checking the variator - make sure it speeds up & slows down the tractor. they can get stuck if the tractor has been sitting. I've had my 216 for a year now and have had to replace various bearings - none difficult and none that make me regret owning it. I'd also plan on changing the belts after you get it.
