Hey everyone, I am having trouble with my 317. I have tested the battery, and it tests fine. I also tested the positive terminal of the coil for 12v and it is good. I found a diagram for testing a Kohler coil, but I've only been able to get one test done. I put a multimeter on the positive and...

I just came across a 1969 JD 110 hyd lift with a patio deck near me on craigslist. I was wondering what the 2 of them would be worth. I think the price he has on them is pretty reasonable, just curious to know. Obviously the dust cover and side panel are missing, and the seat is cobbed up. John...

Has anyone seen this before? Wondering if it was a factory option or it was something that someone made... Thought it was pretty cool. Wonder what the max weight is?

on my 317, my engine idles at normal rpm with the throttle at half open, and every five seconds sounds like it goes under load, starts to skip, and goes right back to normal idle for 5 seconds. is this gov. problems? i plan on getting the carb tuned up this spring. any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a question, is a steering column from a 318 the same as one that is from a 430? I may put one from a 318 in my 317, but after looking at BobK's on MTF, its going to be a very complicated project if they are the same.

Okay, so most of you know that I have a 317 thats just about done with, so tonight I asked my grandpa if I could get out the 80 to bring it over to our shop to start the process. He said go for it and left for a meeting in town. So I jacked it up, and started to take the tires off but it was...

Looking for some info on how to get rid of the play in the steering like all others. I have no idea on where to look in the steering box, or if the play is even there. I got the steering adjusted a few weeks ago because the tires would almost touch the ram on the left side and wouldnt steer...

Okay, since my last update, I removed the tag from the deck and started stripping it down of its parts until I had just the shell. In the meantime, I had already straightened out the mule drive cover, as it was badly damaged. I then got all of my parts that i could paint black, like the mule...

Hi all, I 'm looking for some info on where to find a muffler for a 317 such as the one below. I have been looking online for one but cannot find one. Any ideas?? I guess I will look in the parts catalog next..... Thanks!

Hi, the tag on my 48 mower deck is chipping off, and I was wanting to know if John Deere sells them, or if I could buy them from someone else that makes them. Any help is appreciated!!

Just got my Grandpas 80 Cart out today to give my little cousins a ride, and I've been wanting to know exactly what year it is. My guess is a 79, the year he bought the tractor and everything. I just cant find a chart like on WFM. Anybody have any preferences? :confused: The number on the...

:thumbsup:Does anyone have any good suggestions on a chrome polish that can remove rust from pitting? I used Mothers alum. polish on my hubcaps for my 317 last night, and they came out pretty good, but a few of them are badly pitted. Thanks!

Havent really looked at the deck yet, once i get this tractor done, then its coming out. I found a V Belt for it amd searched the number, which comes up for a 50" deck. Not sure if it is a 50 but if it is, are they good decks? What are the pros and cons on them? Just want a general idea of what...

Does anyone have any suggestions on diamond plate thickness, that can be easily bent? I want to put some on my 317 where the foot grips would go, but I am unsure of wht thickness i should use, and also, where to get it. Maybe TSC? Thanks! This is the area.
