Hi
I just joined today, I hail from Knoxville, Tennessee. I have a 1983 John Deere 318 that I recently restored. It now has a fresh Onan P-218 engine in it. I also have a 48" Replacement mowing deck that came on it and a Model 30 Hydraulic tiller with the Optional 12" Tine extension making it a full 42" tilling cut. I also have a 54"Hydraulic dirt dozer blade for it. Here is my Tractor and it's Impliments. Regards, Hammerdown

:welcome: to the forum, nice equipment. You got the tires dirty :laughing::laughing:
 
Welcome to the LMF! That 318 is a heavy, tough mower. My friend has one down in Harriman, TN about 35 miles from me and I've had some trouble trying to keep it running. I'm not sure what kind of engine is in it. You better keep those 318 JD's running or you'll have to get another one to drag it back to the garage, cause you ain't gonna push it very far! :thumbsup:

So true... THEY ARE HEAVY...but I doubt he'll have any problems keeping it running..grandads was still going strong the day he died he was 86
 
Howdy friend, welcome to the forum and that is a fine looking JD and equipment you have there, have a good day and keep on Deerin.
 
Where did you find your restoration parts at?
I have a jd112 that I want to rebuild and need several things for it.
Thanks
Jim
