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...

Friends, I found myself having to unstuck my 48 in mechanical tiller. That is done. I don't have.my manual as it is at another residence in a common manual binder. 1st lesson learned, keep manuals where the equipment are. Can anyone look up any chain oil/grease specs? I have the gears as a...

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...

Hello all, new to the fourm so trying to figure all the controls out still. But anyho I have a 79 John Deere 317, for a while it wasn't running, I went through the carb, changed the oil and checked a few other things and got it running again, but ever since then I've had problems with the...

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...

Picked up a used Harbor Freight 1 ton engine hoist, and I want to remove and reinstall my B43G engine with it. I've never removed an engine before, so I'm looking for some guidance on where and how to attach the engine to the hoist hook? I have 3 or 4 chains that I got from the guy that sold me...

Hi all I picked up a 420 with a P220 in it a few months back to snowblow with. I mowed with it one time and during the mow the RPMs went through the roof. I had to turn the unit off in fear it would blow up. Since then It would idle and it would begin to hunt or surge. Once any throttle is...

Can I take this deck and mule drive off a 316 and put it on a 318?

Just bought a 318 but it didn’t have a deck or mule drive. I found a 317 with a 48” deck and mule drive, Will these fit on my 318?

So I have stumbled upon a free 318 with snow blade and belly mower. Am I going down a rabbit hole or is it worth the time and effort to make run again. I know I'm going to need help from this forum if I tackle this project.

Hi all, I just bought a JD 420...My 420 had the issue I've seen a few other posts about where when you turn the ignition, it only "clunks". If I turned the key enough times, eventually it would crank and turn over. Once it cranked though, it normally started no issues. Today I changed the...
