Hi Guys, this is part 2 of this John deere 318 that was given to us from a viewer so we could fix it up, in this video we get into finding out what the loud clacking sound is and if we can fix it, lets just say I did not expect to find this as the problem.
I owned a JD 316 for 16 years which was a pleasure owning.😀 My mower had an 18 hp Onan twin cyl engine. The sound was always so soothing to hear it run,sounded like a real tractor. I had a blade and snowblower which was a single stage but could really move the snow in Iowa.ðŸ‘
The crankshaft only comes straight out the bottom once you take off the oil pan of course I probably am wrong. This is not like a car engine. That’s for sure.
If you turn the front PTO bracket 90* after you remove the 4 bolts you can get at the muffler bolts.
What motor is it? Onan Briggs Kawasaki?
My heart was floating when you found that cap, terrible design. Good job Mustie 😊
When I was younger and didn't know better, I regularly used standard sockets with the impact driver. Fortunately I never experienced a socket failing, not sure if it would just split or shatter the socket. As Mustie1 stated, there's times when the impact socket is too wide and I'll use a regular socket with eye protection.
so the oil pan could have been removed right off the bat?
Nice save! Can’t believe you got it out….. but glad you did ðŸ‘
Don't forget the foil faced foam heat shield on the firewall since you're at this point.
Stick a big magnet on the screwdriver at the handle end ane that will magnetise the entire shaft.
I’ve really enjoyed watching this series on the John Deere 318 garden tractor! Thanks for taking the time to produce this video!

is there another part to this that shows how you finished it I love watching your vids I've learned a lot thank you
I know way more now about a 318 than I ever wanted to. Good work! I've been there myself.
The lashcap adventure!
Im surprised you didn't have to take off the steering wheel and left back wheel to get the muffler out in front. 😀
What a tear down, just for a smal metal thingy that wanted to go on adventure inside the engine. Glad i didn't do any damage, and it made for very entertaining and educational video, as always 🙂 (and yes i know this video i 3 years old. I have been diving deep into your backlog the last month or so)
Thanks for the video ðŸ‘
A trick I picked up working with jet engines where a lot of the internals and fasteners are non-magnetic, you can use a length of brake line/hardline tubing, cap up a vacuum pump and have an air retriever. Nothing worse than trying to go fishing into a compressor section to chase a fragment of a snap ring or something ridiculous that would wreak havoc by blowing through the various passages, or worse, getting jammed up in a friction surface.
Add: Just for 100% clarity, most times when you have a vacuum pump out, you'll have a dump chamber preceding the actual pump intake, but it doubles as a handy retrieval vessel for fluids and things like chipped Inconel blade tips. Be kinda silly to suck directly into a pump trying to save one machine and destroying another needlessly. 😉
The SEAT Replacement ! I might want to start with more pressing issues first
Some of those 318's have a 3 point hitch on the back.
This guy is a genius.
Very smart man musti 1 = my name is Binnie 1in case you cared ,out of Jacksonville Florida
You are AMAZING Mustie! Major celebration deserved!
Mr Musty, I can hardly wait to see the old John Deer your working on with paint etc .. I learn much by watching your videos Sir … thanks so much
Down the rabbit hole!! I love it!!
ðŸ‘
Very good
put the cylinder at TDC(top dead center) to adjust valves
You are doing a great love watchin you fix things thank you because its enjoyable
I know that’s it’s been a long time since I watched this one. Going back for entertainment… I heard you say that you were going to try a hook with a high powered magnet and then the camera cuts and the whole engine is out. Lol no doubt.
a great learning video
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and educating us viewers. Love your vids. Keep them coming. As far as diagnosing the valve cap issue, good catch… Im sure some of us might have overlooked that. Just like I never thought you would be removing the entire engine. Lol.
Trying to get that little bit out of the engine, like trying to decorate your hall through the letter box ,😂😂ðŸ‘
Great job Mustie, persistance that"s the deal here, great video,, make some more pls.!!!!
Makes me think of Scrat, from the Ice Age movies, determined to get the acorn no matter what.
Exhilarating thank you. You have my undying respect sir.
You`ve got the patience of Job!
