I Got a Garden Tractor!

Here's a quick look at my recently acquired 1978 John Deere 316

Nice find. I do like 70s lawn tractors.

What a beast!

[@urbanitesgarage3299]

I had a 314 kohler like 3 years ago, great machine even though it was rough Sold it and haven’t gotten any garden tractors until about this year, everyone I’m finding now is the two cylinder so everything I own has got an onan they run good too

I considered Onan swapping this one since I have a welder generator with a P228. I couldn't justify pulling the welder generator apart, though.

Having that PTO and that lift mechanism it's a big deal on that that's a good thing you could get a plow for that a brinley plow any attachments you can find for that by a man those things was a snowblower on them you could clear you can't imagine how much snow you can clear with one of those

I've seen a few videos of 300 and 400 series tractors with a snow blower and it looks like so much fun! We don't get enough snow where I'm at to justify one but I might try to get my hands on one of the two way adjustable snow plows.
