Hi Scott and Bob

Welcome to the group.
Bob,the power flow will not fit without serious modification.

Scott,I think it is unanimous around here.Ruegg is the way to go.

Bob Adair, I doubt it if it will work. The powerflo fan housing is different since the fifty deck is deeper or taller that the 46 deck.
also the rear attachment bracket for the rear bagger is different.

Hello Group,
My name is Scott, and I am a Deere oholic.
I just installed a new Bill Ruegg 3 point hitch and draw bar on my 1992 318. I can now say that I have the finest 318 in the entire state of Alaska. Anyone who wants a 3 point for their 318 should deal with this man. Great price, service,shipping and such. Very weak on the instructions ( none) but that made the installation even that much more fun even tho it was pouring rain while I was doing it which tested my patience. I would attach a photo…..but it looks just like the one on his web site. Thanks Bill for the fine work and supporting this site.

Thanks John, We have a couple of steering hoses with the 90* fittings that are leaking at the joints but I ordered them from Deere earlier this week. Also will have to re-spray the top of the hood as something is coming up from the fiberglass and causing a rough appearance to the paint in two spots. Some sort of oil or solvent may have been soaked into the fiberglass at some point in the past and we didn't get it sealed good enough. Next up is the Gannon Earthcavator restoration. Then maybe I can address some issues on the '69 112 and semi retire it. (rebuild transmission, hydraulic lift and engine) But for now we are looking to the fall plow days!

Chuck, I also looked at the same owner's 322 he wants to sell I test drove and looked over both, the 322 had some grease caked on the head the hour meter didn't work but on the test drive it ran smooth no smoke good power has the electric choke too. The 318 was clean near the belly screen and fire wall ran smooth no smoke.

Nice job on the 332 Jim Brown!
I agree those weights look better now too. I could have used those black & silver ones though on my black 317. They would have looked great there, IMHO. :-)
Good luck on the up coming plowdays. Someone take lots of photos to share with us all.
