this is the 3rd video on this john deere 318 that had been given to us by a subscriber so we can video it getting fixed, in this chapter we find the engine to have more damage then expected, so lets see if we can fix it and if it will still run after putting it back together.special thanks to charlie for hooking us up with the snow blower and plow setup.
The JD 318 was a beast of a machine / mower. Had one for years! Sold it to buy a JD 455 I've had it the last 20 odd year. O and I agree with the others here,You are Excellent at what you do. I've learned many things from you over the years watching you on here. Thank You!
Have you run into problems with ignition modules & related parts? Engine just suddenly shuts down & won't restart until engine cools abit…😮
You turned that into a great machine !
Looks like you got that plow and snowblower from Steve Lavimoniere
I wish I had your ability. 🎉
Another great video. I'll never will do this type of stuff but I like watching your videos.
Almost comical in a sense how this went from a "Will it Run?" to a Full Restoration over the course of 3 videos. Sounds like new and would be a prize were it to be sold. (Guess it's still a ship rig?)
Punch locking sealing surfaces isn't that uncommon in other industries, like firearms for instance, which see oodles more pressure than an ICE ever will. I can understand the objection, but it's a perfectly serviceable technique on surfaces of differing hardness to keep separation at bay.
Victory!
I have the same engine on my 316 , and I always worry about overheating and valve damage, so I run it with 2cyc-oil in a 32:1 ratio and I dont rev the engine. That P218 is almost 2x the displacement you need so there is never a need to operate that engine at 3000rpm. Keep it under 2000 and you will be fine. that valve adjuster nut, could you have fabricated a very thin jam nut to keep it in place ?
Just incredible dude! What a huge difference!!!
That was very nice I guess lower rpm and so on done work on cars bent valve and hammer was a learning experience I understand about parts 😀 👍
See ya Mustie
