Old John Deere Lawn Tractor - Will It RUN and MOW again?

[@DaddyDan77]

Grew up with a dad who was a JD salesman. I cried when I saw that HF engine. BTW just a little further up the family tree was the 318 which is probably one of John Deere's all time greats in the Lawn and Garden arena. A 318 would actually be a collectable.

[@HuskyGamersUNITE]

It's stupid how moronic people are that will put a worthless ass bottom of the barrel chinese engine from harbor shit in there and be completely clueless as to why the mower doesnt run right and then stops working. its not hard to rebuild the original engine that you broke.

[@paulwoodman5131]

Oh yeah, used to have one of those. Very similar to the 316, had a BEEFY deck on 'er. Had to get it welded a couple times, the welder/farmer I took it to was an International guy. Quite jealous of that heavy deck.

[@justinbevier8231]

Nothing wrong with the predator engine.

[@urbanitesgarage3299]

[@stevevanhorn4170]

I'm really glad I found this channel - Great stuff! I was kinda surprised that you went with the plug after the second puncture in the tire...I was thinking, one hole to let the air out, and one to let it back in again. Should be fine. Keep up the great work! All the best to you and the family!

This explains soooo much. Derrick, you have risen far from your very humble beginnings. Without dying. Acetylene to distance from fire ratio is obviously critical knowledge on the old homestead.

Thanks. We still have our JD 322 we bought new in 1988. At one point about 10 years ago I got on, turned the key, and nothing happened. I parked it and there it sits. This video has given me the enthusiasm to get it running again. Oh, it was very reliable except for the mower deck - it loved to throw belts, even when new. PITA job to replace them. Even the dealer was baffled.

I have a 61 falcon 6 cylinder, ruined diff. What's special about it is that I gave it to my niece Cathy who was going to school to be a tech having to do with nascar. Loved racing and race cars, planned on fixing it. Before graduating she was diagnosed with cancer. She did graduate but the cancer took her shortly after. I can still get on her Facebook page and see the pictures, some have the falcon. There are drag racing pics, one of the cars reminded me of Tom's camaro. I don't have the means to do much with it, just sinking into the ground. If you could help it become a race car, I only ask its somehow dedicated to her. Thanks for all the videos Derek

we've got a late 70's deere lawn tractor. Picked it up from a lady on FB for $150. Thing runs great. Has the original Kholer engine still, came with rear tiller, electric lift, and we just grabbed plow for it recently. terrific tractors. Going to do a full restore on it one day.

Deere made great garden tractors back in that era. This 316 is pretty similar to the 318. I still have a 318 myself that I have a 50 inch mower and the model 49 snow thrower for, it's a great machine. Still going nearly 30 years later. Hold on to that 316, they are built like tanks.

Hey Derek, Pro tip: When trying to do a tire plug...lube up the hole reamer with some rubber cement glue, it'll go in super easy then. Same with the plug or "worm", once you have it threaded into the insertion tool, lube that up and in she goes!

[@MrRecall200]

Another option is to just chuck up a 1/4 inch drill bit and drill out the hole. Still a snug fit for the plug but way easier for me than a reemer. I've been doing it that way for ages on my stuff. And even in a 10 ply that gets the full trail and highway treatment they have never once let go on me

[@danhiggins4078]

Also much easier to have some air in the tire

[@parkerlayfield4812]

Had a ol John Deere that smoked more than a coal mine on fire but it was free. Tires on the front were dry rotted but still had good tread.
