I dont have anything fancy like that but i love the JD 316 317 and 318s i have a 317 17 horse Kolher a 318 18 horse Onan and my step dad has a 316 with a 20 horse honda installed the 16 horse onan that was in it died while he was unloadinging it after buying itYou should se that thing throw snow with that 20 horse in there:spit:
That 17 horse kohler was the same motor in the red cub cadets. They run pretty good unless you live in the country and would mow a ditch with it. No oil pump means a dry cylinder when you're at an angle.....
I had a 149 when I was a kid growing up, my neighbor got a 782 and I wanted one so bad....I kinda forgot all about that until this thread. Thanks for the trip down memory lane guys lol. I would like to find an old red cub to play with

Yeah i found that out the hard way Wayne.All rebuilt now and added a singer to it to try and keep it oiled good and i keep the oil level way up.The 317 is semi retired my main mower now is the 318.I didn't think powersteering was all that till i got a tractor with it and the 2 inche wider deck makes a few less passes in the back yard.
And if interested mine are for sale don't get along with one clubs president and got kicked out of the other club around for what I do not know wasn't at the meeting. And they are too big for a local place that does pulls around me.
My buddy in CT has 2 busa powered tractors but non turbo things don't need the extra power around here. And yes Steve the right amount of goat piss makes everything win lol
it pulls great. the hydro robs alot of the power. i am building a 3speed at the moment to put the motor in and see how she does.
