    JD 318

    I agree with Charlie m on the coil but also, follow the electrical [battery side of coil], the wires on the ignition switch and sometimes the switch itself will get dirty and cause the heat[resistance] to the coil to make a tractor coil stop running. I had electric juice at the battery side of...

    318 starter gear sticking in normal position

    I almost forgot to mention the fact that one of my tractors had a broken starter bolt that the previous owner missed and I couldn't see until I pulled the motor out. This was also causing a miss-aligned starter problem.

    318 starter gear sticking in normal position

    Did you check the cables and switch wire on the solenoid under the battery tray? You may want to check that you are allowing true battery voltage to the starter. I dought that this is your problem but if the previous owner has had a reputable starter repair shop check the starter I would look at...

    318 starter gear sticking in normal position

    Do you think that if you pull the tin air shields out enough to remove the starter that you will be able to remove the bolts that hold the starter in place? it is a very tight fit and it is far easier to pull the motor [unless the previous owner cross threaded the motor mount bolts, four bolts...

    318 starter gear sticking in normal position

    I found that the only way to lube the starter, is to pull the engine and remove the starter. At that time I also check the starter drive for excessive wear. I have the solenoid attached starter and the solenoid under the battery, on the body of the tractor, type starter. When I purchased the...

    318 charging light problems

    I have a JD 318 with a onan b43g that I bought from a fella that was experiencing the same thing you did. He finally got fed up with always fixing things and sold it to me. He told me that it was his dad's tractor and when his dad died he got it from his mom in exchange for mowing her grass. I...

    Ihave a 112 john deere that is 35years old and the kohler motor is rough but when it was 2 to 5 years old I went over to my granddads place to roto-till his garden plot not thinking about the clay soil. I put it in the creeper gear [it is a standard trans.] and it started tilling ok until I hit...

    Electric PTO clutch

    If you find out anything or discover what this problem is, my son-in-laws tractor does the same thing. I cleaned all connections and put lube on them [dielectric silicone] I adjusted the gap per John Deeres dealer spec sheet. The clutch will engage cold to warm but after mowing for 20 to 30...
