I love the American Made Stuff.
Can't buy them like this anymore.
Buy American ... and help your brothers and sisters out.

Great looking JD 318. They are real beasts especially with the Onans. I had the 4 way plow on mine and it would push nearly as much snow as a pick up truck. The only downside is they use a lot of gas but the thing is such a beat who cares. Just sold mine and all of the attachments to upgrade to a JD 455. Basically the same thing just a little bigger and with a Yanmar diesel that sips fuel. Wish I could have kept them both.

Heck Yes. I said in the video that I would never sell it. I did.  LOL.

Im sick over it but the good news is......Im doing the same thing you did. Im looking for a JD455. I thought I had found mine, but after driving 3.5 hours...It wasn't at all what the guy said and it didnt even look like the same mower as the pics.

So....Still looking. Thanks for the comments.

@John56deere

Mr. Goff is the man I bought it from. May he rest in peace. He tinkered with this mower all of the time. After he passed, I contacted his daughter and they decided to sell it. I rub on it all of the time. I have ordered a set of aluminum wheels for the mower. CPecs on the back and tractor on the front. I will post another vid when I get them put on.

thanks for the comments.

I own one of the last all steel mowers made by cub cadet before they started making the panels out of plastic. I kinda would rather have a John Deere instead of a cub cadet. But the one I have is nice, and I take care of it. I am grateful for what I have.
