I might have the chance to buy a 2 way plow for my 1986 318. A guy has a plow for sale that came off his John Deere 300 16 horsepower tractor. He says it is a Model 54....1746M01. What do you guys think? Thanks.

If it fit the 300, it will fit the 318.

Front attachments for the 300,312,314,316Kohler,316Onan,317, 318,322,330,332 140 & 120 will fit each other. Rear attachments is where you'll run into problems.:thThumbsU

Not all 300 series Onan attachments will fit the 300 series kohler. For example, the 318 front weight bracket did not fit on my 317. To my knowledge all the 300 series kohler will fit the 300 series Onan.

EDIT: clarified for Hugh

300's had onans? I thought that only the 317's had two engines

 

[z0lt3c]

Here is some clarification.

The below picture is the frame of the 317. Note a total of 3 attachment points on the front;

The below pictures if the frame of a 318. Note a total of 4 attachment points on the front. On the bottom flange with the "hook" you can see the additional mounting hole just under the main frame rail.

He was referring to 300 series tractors with the Onan, the 316 and 318.

1984 316 & after,318 had Onans. I have a 54inch front blade off a 318 on on my 140. The front Blades will fit.:thThumbsU

I have a 318 and a 300 and my 4way 54 blade works on both.

Same here 300 and 318 the front blade will work on both. Now the mower off the 318 will not fit the 300 though. would will a little modification to the arms .
