I believe that ej hit the nail:
It's probably that blasted center adjustable shiv/pully. As the former owner
of a JD210 with a variable speed drive I can testify that the adjustability
feature wears out fairly quickly. And at $180 to replace.....I am now happily
hydrostatic with a JD320.

Glad to be rid of that JD210

If this is the smae type I used to have, which your description sounds
like, there are 2 dirve blets, one form the engien to a center pulley,
and a second one form the center pulley to the transaxle. The middle
sheave of the center pu;;ey moves up and down in sesponce to the speed
lever tightening the belts, and works with a centrfical pulley to change
the speed. On mine the 3 pins that the cneter sheave slide on had
become worn, and it would stick unless persuaded a little. Replacing
the 3 pins and lubricating the pulley aong with a new set of belts soved
the problem. It has bene several years ago that I sold mine, but at
that time universla belts from an auto parts store would not work
properly. To get correct speeds I had to buy Sears belts.
