General overview
John Deere 318 is a mower built for cutting maintained grass and other turf areas. Produced in the United States from 1983 to 1992, it is powered by an Onan B43G / P218G / P218 gasoline engine rated at 13 kW (18 hp). The model uses a 12-V engine-driven charging system and a 12 V battery.
Its drive system is a shaft-driven hydrostatic transmission, 2WD, with infinitely variable travel control for routine mowing work. Power is carried from the engine to the PTO clutch and gearbox by shaft drive, and the mid-mount rotary deck uses a steel housing with a working width of 965 mm (3 ft 2 in).
