Dude.... YOU ROCK.... Been to busy (and at times lazy) to address the loose steering / wandering axle on my 345 but after seeing how easy of a fix this is... THANKS FOR MAKING THE VIDEO!!
Nice video! I’m watching this for preventative maintenance. I have a little buck on order. I’m a little paranoid I’m going to wear out my front end. (318)
the original bushings are a copper/carbon alloy. your new bushing is zinc plated steel or possibly brass. when you change the bushing to steel or brass, they wear the bolt away much faster. when the bushing is that copper/ carbon alloy it doesn't wear out the bolt it just get loose, then you buy a new copper/ carbon bushing and the bolt never becomes a safety risk. your new parts are cheap, but your kids have a safety issue and a probable life-threatening injuring in store for them, if they still have that tractor. ... buy OEM.
hey know you havent been active as much, just watched ur audi a6 quattro engine/trans tires ect removal video i got the 4.2l v8 07 blown head gasket cant take the timing chain covors off to take the heads off "blown head gasket white smoke from jsut one side replacing both thought, do i have to drop the engine or raise the engine ?
Great video and great information. Thanks alot for both. Where did you get your frount bucket loader for your JD 318 ? and how much did it cost ? Thanks Alot .
Hammer and a punch / metal rod that's same/similar diameter to that bushing. OR... Dig into your tool box, find a socket that's same (but of course not to big) diameter, put an extension on the socket and hammer away!!! Good old school way of doing bearing races on cars and trucks before they went to all these "sealed" bearings.
2 common problem s I see on the 318 is charging system not charging and engine hunting at full throttle even with the modification of a electric fuel pump acts like starving for fuel,starts fine idle is ok but seem to have to run choke out all the time
This is the sort of video that will be helping JD owners for many years! Thanks for taking the time to post !!!

Just curious in this video did you end up installing the wear plates cuz I didn't see that in the video ?
Yes I installed them

It's a "Little Buck Loader"...I bought it used locally, but the Little Buck Loader company sells them new.

Oh man, I love cutting tall grass, I actually let my grass grow for 2 or 3 weeks and then cut it.
it is fun to cut tall grass with a powerful mower
