Hey, Thanks alot for the great information, it has 1,200 hours not 2000 btw:wink:. I'll definitely check the deck and the hydro fluid. I have a question though, how could I see if it has the starter kit on it? Thanks again for the great advise.
If you trace the wire from the key switch to the starter you will find a relay if it has the kit.
I put one on my 180 when it was only a year old the relay is a small black plastic square box.

There is a john deere 318 forsale near me. It is original and in fantastic shape. I plan on using it to plow snow and mow the 25 yards that I do for some extra $. Think its worth it? 1,182 hours.

what are they asking for it

Guy wants 2500. I think that's fair, maybe he'll come down some. The plow is 54in? 4 way and the guy wants 300 for it. I'll need to get some weights and chains also. I think I'm going to get it. I'm sure it will be better than the crap l100 I have now.

DUD, what year is it? that sounds high, but your talking to a junk to treassure man:eek:
