    Hello! Looking for guidance please on my 318. At :13 seconds into the video you can hear the engine start to choke out, and it repeats this every 15 seconds or so. It will recover itself and continue to run for maybe 20 minutes before the choking eventually kills the engine, and then doesn't...

    Recently acquired a a model 49 blower for my 318 from a Ole boy the town over, at the time of purchase the belt he had was to small, it forced the tensioner to be pressed all the way back into the side of the frame. I have since purchased a new belt and trying to install last night I noticed...

    So, another adventure with this old 318. Blades havent been changed for 10 years or more since its either sat or was used for the blower. So i got 2 done and the third was giving me a hard time, finally broke the bolt loose i thought until i noticed the spindle and other 2 blades spun with the...

    Hey Guys - needing some of your expert insight please. This past year I purchased a 1992 (I think) John Deere 318 with original Onan P218G. It was in good shape, but I could tell the prior owners hadn't maintained it as it deserves. Absolutely filthy and grease covered. They must have had a...

    I am selling a rebuilt B43G Engine. This engine was from a 84 318 I believe. I am selling this engine as I rebuilt another B43G, so this one is just collecting dust. I went through the entire engine, stripped it bare. The block was measured completely by a machine shop and was within spec and...

    There is a 318 for sale within driving distance advertised for $750. I have just seen a few photos so far but it looks like it is in good condition and has a deck. I see this model is very popular on the forum and have been wondering why? I have found that some vehicles (cars/vans) seem to me to...

    Good day, list! I'm lusting after a GT/loader, but hoping the same machine can also be my mower. Am I dreaming, or do some GTs do this well. (I understand that for heavy loader use or for snow removal, I'll want to dismount the deck, but day-to-day in the summer, I'd love to have both...

    I have 6 sets of replica John Deere 44 loader decals for sale, for $35 dollars each, plus shipping. I will ship them USPS Priority Mail, and its typically $8.95 I got these made so that I can rebuild and repaint my 44 loader, as the JD decals are no longer available. I worked with a local...

    I have been following another online JD forum, and I know that an individual there was restoring his 44 loader (Is it GreenGabby?). It got me considering restoring my 44 loader as well, but I was always reluctant because I couldn't get the decals. So, I decided to reach out to a local...

    I have a 1992 JD 318 given to me by an older gentleman who was a great friend of mine. He took meticulous care of the tractor. The starter needed to be rebuilt when I got it. I had that done by someone. I got it back, and before tearing the engine down to re-ring (which is its current state) the...

    I'm going to try and kill two birds with one stone here only because I think the two things may be related. When I say the tractor is "running dirty" I mean I think it's running rich, but it's difficult to tell. I believe the smoke is black. It seems to smoke less when not under load such as...

    Decided to start a new post due to new information. As some of you may have read in my earlier posts I had PTO failure a couple weeks ago and have been tracing the problem. According to the technical manual this failure is due to my TDCM. My first question is the tractor starts, runs, idles...

    I need to change out a wire between two plugs due to lack of continuity probably caused my corrosion. One side of the wire is male in a 3 pin plug and the other female in a 2 pin receptacle. My questions are: is it possible to remove the pin/female connectors from the housing? If it is possible...

    Need some help with troubleshooting. Dad and I put on a new muffler, and took the PTO off to do so. When we put it back on, the PTO would not engage. we were sure that it was because the clutch wasn't gapped to 018. I gapped it exactly to 018 at all 3 points, and it still won't engage. I get...

    Hi My JD318 1989 lawn tractor seems to have limited or sporadic control over the engine speed. It varies without me touching the rabbit/turtle. Particularly surges. When I mentioned this to the dealer when buying deck parts he said that’s not good... I would love to save it as it’s a...
