Bought an '86 JD 318 in '87, created a local biz while I was in school, and eventually when I bought my own place with a big lawn it came along. About 1600 hours on the meter and still (mostly) runs ok. From what I read years ago it will throw a rod any time now. Then I need to decide if I'll repower it with gas or maybe make a project out of it and convert to electric. Getting ready to get a plow for my truck so I'm retiring the plow and snowblower I have for the 318, which should help preserve its life a bit more.
