Made a deal on probably the ugliest 318 I've ever seen. Probably the ugliest 1990 318 anyone has ever seen, but it runs and the mower deck works.
Need 1 tail light, starter attention and helper kit, a hood and hinges, headlights and wiring, which I might have, a front wheel and tire, a grille, a new seat cushion, paint and a tune up. Sounds about like most of the garden tractors that I buy.

I see you were asking about the 50 finish mower.I think the same holds true for the 50.

Ron Disch, that is the last year for the 110. They are a really good tractor. It's pretty easy to spend that much money and a lot more to put one in "new looking" condition.
Have you started it up (start with a cold engine) and driven it? How does it sound and feel? Any smoke or odd noises? Do the clutch and variator work smoothly?
Are there any attachments with that one? Front lift? Rear lift? Lift assist spring?
Mower deck - should be 39 or 47.
Front blade - should be a 43.
Tiller - should be a 31.
Thrower - should be a 37 or 37A.
Good luck! |

They are not the same.I bought a 60 mower minus the drive shaft and tried to use the one off of my 48 tiller.The finish mower shaft is longer.
I bought one of the last ones available at that time.

Paul L. according to jdparts the 50 rear mounted 3pt finish mower doesn't share the drive shaft with any of the 3pt attachments. I checked the 48 tiller and the 260 finish mower they all use there own drive shaft. I also have both the 50" rear finish mower and the 48 tiller I will have them both out this week I will check them out at that time to see the difference. |

I just aquired a new 50" rear 3pt. mower deck #m02671. I need the yoke driveshaft that goes from the mower gearbox to the 2000 pto of the tractor. Does anyone know if these drive shafts are the same as the 3pt. 48" tillers and where I might find one? |

Quick question, what size are the ammeters and hour meters for the 140? Found a new 2 5/8 Auto Meter Voltmeter for cheap and wondering if it would fit. Thanks!

Hello! I bought a 1982 JD 212 last fall (my 1st JD). Used it with the blade to push snow this winter and now am having a heck of a time removing it. I'm getting hung up on those angled bottom frame notches (sorry for the inept description). Any tricks for this? Thanks. |

Chuck,
I noticed the other one a few months ago, I believe. Mine still hardly has any hours on it though, well I guess that's not true. Its still below 500 though.
Hope you got a great deal. I might try to make a deal on a 1990 soon.

Steve Small,
I just registered the 1992 318 I got on Sunday and noticed that it is now the second newest 318 in the registry -- sorry to bump you into the third spot. Yours definitely had fewer hours when you found it though, as mine has just over 930.
...note the camera reflection in the hour meter glass... 
It seems that I also have the third newest 322 in the registry -- guess we West Coast members are just late adopters!

Farley,
Yes, your tag is almost 10,000 numbers higher than my E0900 brass tag cart. I believe that I concur with Roger's posts that the patio style decals were likely put on green carts. This web site is a wealth of knowledge and a good central place to collect anecdotal evidence of what was done so many years ago at the Deere factory...
Since your tag is a model E0901, it is a 1970 or newer, again putting it into the correct time-line position to receive the black/silver decal originally meant for the patio attachments...

Chuck, no it is not a brass tag, it has an aluminum tag on it. I've turned it over and checked every place I can see and can't see anywhere any white paint is. So either it was painted green from the start and as Rodger said Mother Deere did not want to waste any stickers and just used Patio stickers, or at some time someone did a heck of a strip job and repainted it green.

I have a John Deere 300 that I am getting back to running order. I have replaced the spark plugs, PTO switch,air filter, cleaned up all the wiring and replaced the wiring connections that were bad. My problem is that now that it is all back together I am not getting any spark. I am about 90% certain that I have rewired it correctly and the coil was tested and it is ok but when I turn it over it acts like it wants to start but I am not getting any spark out of the spark plug. I ordered a parts manual this week to help but was not certain if anyone knows where I can get a diagram showing exactly how the coil wiring is to be attached. Thanks. |

Tim,
Some of the wide range of prices I am seeing on Deere lawn equipment is probably attributable to the economic downturn -- people that would otherwise not be selling their tractor and are not "enthusiasts" only know what they paid for it, not what it is worth. This is particularly true for the later model years that most of here know are not as substantial as the vintage ones.
The flip side of this market with more sellers than usual is that occasionally one still finds a bargain, and even those sellers that have priced their gear too high will shortly find they need to accept reasonable offers.
Bottom line -- just keep looking, and only offer what you are comfortable in spending, independent of what the seller originally asked.

Scott Chaney,
Measure the resistance of the coil on the PTO -- it should be in the range of 3.5 to 4.9 ohms or so. If it is substantially lower, it likely has internal shorts between some of the windings.
Also check the air gap as others suggest, it should be 0.018 inches. Here is the method from a Deere manual:

Adam,
I've never really measured but I'd guess my 31 is going 5-6". I also have to admit that I've never played too much with the depth setting or anything else to see if I can get it down more. I do think my manual tiller gets down deeper, but it's not as fun 
the 31 is the right tiller for a 214. I've seen some 30-hydr tillers advertised for the 200 series, but I'm not sure if it was a factory setup, or a custom thing. |

We had one that had some what of the same symptoms, but ours was out of adjustment. There are 3 or 4 adjustment nuts, but I forget what the exact setting is for them. Maybe someone else will chime in on that. |

I ran into a minor problem this past weekend on my 318.
After mowing for some time and shutting the PTO switch off, I was unable to get it to re-engage for a period of time. It did it once earlier with a small delay and then it engaged and I thought it was a fluke. But when it happened again, the light on the dash was on and I switched it several times to no avail. After I drove it for a few minutes, I was able to engage it again.
Seems like the PTO is overheating? Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it is just a loose electrical connection, but I have not checked yet.

Hi Tim,
It's gotten worse around here just recently, prices seem to have doubled in the past couple weeks, can't imagine why.
Pet peeve, for something made on a production line, it's not rare, geez. Just because you've not seen another means absolutely nothing.

What does the tractor market look like in your area? For about the last six months here people have been asking about twice what the tractor is worth. I don't know if the market is changing or they have found out people are collecting these old tractors and trying to cash in. I first saw this in the 80's with Mustangs. Everyone who had a 60's Mustang thought it was worth as much as a Shelby. |

I'm curious as to the tilling depth of the 31 tiller? What I am asking how deep will these tillers till the soil? Also is this the correct tiller for my 214? Is this tiller my only option? Adam |

Scott,
The operator's manual for the Deere deck is very specific about how to set the anti-scalp wheels -- they are not to make constant contact with the ground nor support the deck' weight when on level turf.
Here is the instruction and illustration from the OMM78995 for the 46 inch deck on my 322...
Elsewhere in this manual it describes how to set the stop on the rock-shaft limiter to be able to return to he 'desired cutting height' repeatably when you lower the deck using the hydraulic lift lever.

Gary,
I think you are right. That anti-scalp wheel was very worn, and the rock-shaft stop was cranked out to where it was not limiting deck travel.
The other welds on the deck indicated that a collision was the source of needing those repairs.
Otherwise this tractor is smooth running machine...no smoke on start-up and no inappropriate noises.
It does need to be cranked quit a pit at initial start-up, so I suspect the food valve on the gas pickup is leaking a bit. I turned the fuel selector valve off so I can check if that is the issue when next I start it.

I don’t get it; I guess I like to cut the grass short an inch or two high. If you adjust the deck as the local dealer told me too when I first bought my 318, the cut is a few inches high. I always though that the wheels should roll on the ground. Another question, the lawn guys that mow large businesses make nice strips when mowing how is this done?

Sometimes you have travel quite a ways for a successful Deere hunt -- but this time I was fortunate enough to find this 1992 318 within TWO MILES of my place.
It has 931 hours and was only used by a church to mow their grounds. It does have some signs of being operated by a range of 'volunteers' with varying degrees of care while driving, but the maintenance was all by one guy plus the dealer. Pretty sound overall, but the deck has a damaged wheel mount and some old welding that indicates this is not the first time it was fetched up to something substantial... At least the front bumper is not all caved in, just a little ding on the right side in the below image.
It has a Rev4 dampener, but the original gas cylinder is shot and it is the small diameter one. Easy fix, and I did this to the 1992 332 some time ago so I know it will solve the 'jerky' hydro lever response.
It was a dedicated mower, but has a home made hitch that was used for an aftermarket collection trailer -- braced to the rear of the frame so it is rugged although a bit unsightly.
Here are a few pictures -- definitely needs to be cleaned up and all the fluids/filters changed.

I had an up and down weekend.
Saturday, The good, I got to plow in W VA with family and friends and I met fellow WFMer Daniel Zubrzycki and his fiancée, the bad, I bent the beam on my plow pretty bad. Today, the good, I mowed the grass with the 314, the bad, I burned my forehead on the muffler while I was putting the belt on the PTO.
I'll fix the beam or get a replacement and the forehead will heal, so I guess it was a pretty good weekend.Paul |

Jason & Robert, thanks for the input. Jason I wonder if your tire performance has more to do with the weight of that diesel in your 332 and the gas engine of your 318? Just a thought. I never realized both Titan and Carlisle made Tru Power tires. Adam |

Chuck i have two EO900 carts with brass tags. That is about the only year cart you can tell the year built on. If it is brass it is 1968 and it the tag is aluminum it is a 1969. Yours like mine are 1968 carts. EO900 was used as the Patio color code starting in 1970 but with aluminum tags. Roger |

adam, for my yard, i have a bank that has a good pitch to it. i don't mow it up and down, but side to side. there are a row of 7 tree's that have just enough room to zig zag between them and they are about 4' round so i can make a perfect circle around them. now i have to use my brake to help steer because of the steepness of the hill. now here is my tire choice..... i have 3 tractors, my 318 has titan tru power AT's that are 26x12x12. by far my favorite tire ever. doesn't tear up my yard and spin as easy as my others. no weights on them at all. my second favorite is the traditional good year tera tire on my 322. those tires are 23x10.5x12 with weights and loaded tires. they spin going around the tree's, not real bad but they still do. my 332 has tru power 23x10.5x12 made by carlisle. i have tried to use them for mowing, and to me they are worse than turf tires. i think that there thread is to flat and the rubber must be to stiff, because they don't work for me at all. i don't have weights on them, but i'm going to have to get a set. i wouldn't recommend them to anyone. my titan's work the best for me in my yard. |

Adam,
I mow with bar tires with weights. I have a hilly yard and in comparison to turf tires without weight I have much less grass damage with bar tires than with turf. since they don't spin as often there is less damage. with turf tires for me I am spinning all the time. it's rare I spin with the bar tires.
For me the enjoyment of mowing comes from the beauty that a john deere mower leaves behind when you are done. It always looks like a picture.

Jason and Bika, I love mowing grass! I guess I inherited it from my grandfather who mowed 3 acres each week, Now I have my own 6.5 acres. Guys I work with think I'm crazy. I think doing almost any work with quality equipment is enjoyable. Speaking of which, my new to me 430 is a true mowing machine! The only thing I am disappointed in is wheel spin. Do you guys think I should go with some wheel weights or switch to some lug/bar tires? I am worried that bar tires will tear up the grass to much,is this unfounded? Adam |

Roger,
Thanks for your information. I have always been a bit confused by the following chart:
My brass tag 80 cart is an E0900 with green frame and therefore I have always believed it to be an 1968 or 1969 as shown above. I also know that later patio versions of the 140 for instance had a 'color' code, but the earlier ones did not. I have no clear understanding as to the patio versions (or patio years) of the 80 carts, so any input is appreciated, thanks.

Loren, does your 110 have a 3 or 4 speed trans? I had a '64 110 with a 3 speed and it would not go slow enough. I have a '66 110 with a 4 speed that has a 'granny low' that is slow enough with the variator back all the way. In fact, I had it out this afternoon working up the garden. Mike |

I was able to get out and try the tiller i got last fall for swapping trans axles in a guys 112. It seemed to work pretty good. This garden has not been tilled for at least 15 years. I was having trouble with the belts and I did have to ride the clutch the whole time. 1st gear with the variator pulled all the way back was still to fast. Is this normal? I do need a new primary drive.

Chuck it can't be a Patio cart and a brass tag. Brass tags were last used in 1968 and Patios started in 1969. Roger |

Question here, did some research but not having much luck.
I ran into a fella who has a 140 H3 with the heavy duty air filter, He is looking for a supplier to get a new cartridge. Does any one have a supplier or where do you get a replacement air filter cartridge? Thanx for the help in advance.
Oh yea, actually I saw the 140 and the front blade and the blower and the 80 cart he has before I met him. Hopefully he will be visiting and registering his 140 soon. |

Made this land wheel for Brinly 10" plow. Have not tested it yet. Depth is adjustable in 3/8 in. increments. I have had trouble holding a constant depth. Mostly when dry/hard, can't get plow to stay down. Now I can add some weight and wheel should hold depth. Later, KB
P.S will try the pix again later. |

Farley,
Nice score on the 80 cart! 
Looks like it had patio style decals on the side -- is it a brass tag also?
