Thanks for the info., encouragement, and motivational "talk". I guess the reason that I was a bit hesitant in buying the 318 is that no one has ever accused me of being good at turning a wrench. It's just something I never learn about when I was growing up. Also, awhile back, while I was shaving in the morning, I realized that someone could take one look at me and place me in the "old dog" category. I'm older than wroughtn harv, but not as old as Bird. 
It's a good idea to start the restoration this fall. Until then I'll mow with it now and then. I have a CC 2145 that I'll do most of the mowing with.
