How to install a JD 318 Snow Blade

Removing the mower deck and installing the front mounted snow blade.

My Dad absolutely loves his 318 tractors! He has two, one with a front loader.

I used to have a 400 that I built a loader for. It was a quick attach and mounted just like factory front mount implements. Here's a video of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXa3aYiNo6qBrc0

Nice I just got my dream 318 it’s perfect and it came with the attachments so I can’t wait to use the power angle plow

It's impressive him much it will push.

Love my 318! Pushes snow like a bulldozer!

[@SkylarHillShop]

The 318 is a great unit! I used to have a 400 with a blower. It had tire chains and 8 suitcase weights on the back of it. That thing was unstoppable!

That was pretty fast and easy! Nice job aXe! Have a good week!

Thanks you too!

What bulbs did you replace with for the headlights? Been debating just mounting an led light bar on the 49 itself but that will only work for when blower is on,

Darn gravel driveway ( I have one as well ) I got a pair of old skis, cut them off and put them on instead of the skid shoes to avoid getting half my gravel in my yard every season.. little tinkering involved but worth it..

I did a series on modifing my JD 400's snowblower to be gravel friendly. JD Snow Blower: kzbin.info/aero/PLO5ajNcxQhJWTV6w1gBRxkLwu6_rpRDz3

which hoses go where for the up and down and side to side angle the plow

[@SkylarHillShop]

It really doest matter. Just make sure you keep up/down and left/right as pairs. Each pair of couplers on the front of the tractor is one lever.

[@johnstratton5637]

is that stone driveway you are plowing on

[@SkylarHillShop]

It sure is!

[@jedblount1525]

The mower hydraulic goes up down but the blade doesn't is there a hydraulic valve I need to change

[@SkylarHillShop]

Try unplugging the hoses and reconnecting them on the front of the garden tractor.
