Vintage Garden Tractor Update! Three point hitch installed!

Here's an update to my 1978 John Deere 316. I ordered and installed the three point hitch kit that I mentioned in my previous video. I went with the cheaper kit on Amazon versus the kit from Reugg. Did I make a mistake by trying to save $100? I'll let you decide!

I'm glad this video helped you out! Let me know how your install goes when you get everything!

What rear tires are those, and how do you like them?

[@jongeddes09]

They're the factory rear tires off of a Polaris Sportsman. I'm very impressed by them. They're a low pressure tire so they offer a lot of flotation over the ground.

Nice update. It looks good. Do you think youll ever do a repaint?

[@jongeddes09]

Thank you! I'm really split on what I want to do about that. Part of me would love a machine that looks brand new but the other part of me really likes the unique wear pattern of 45 years of use. I haven't come up with a definitive answer yet.

Possibly a link to Amazon where you bought the 3 point?
