Mr. Mike, thank you SOOO much for your channel. My husband and I recently purchased a JD 317 (series 2 Kohler engine) with a snowblower attachment AND a tiller attachment. The guy we purchased it from said he bought it with the tiller attachment but never used it--he only used the snowblower. So, we were able to see the hydraulics lift the snowblower, but now that we have disconnected the snowblower, we cannot figure out how to attach the tiller to get it to lift & lower using the hydraulics. We have everything hooked up except for the lift bar. Can you tell us (or show us) where the lift bar attaches under the tractor in order to actually lift/lower the tiller? Any information you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated!!

If you look up through the hole that's cut in the back plate you will see a piece sticking down with a hole in it for a pin that's where it hooks it sticks down instead of up

the inner lever lifts and lowers the mower deck the outer one angles your front blade and also does your rear hydraulics.

Do you know what size battery these mowers use? I just picked up a 1981 JD 317 today and really hadn't looked too much into it yet. Just noticed you didn't mention that in the video. (my 4yo is in here and loud so it's possible I missed it). Regardless, I liked the video. I am probably going to try and find a snow blower for this 317. I have a 210 with a snow blower and the 317 just seems better to be honest.

I liked the video couple of questions since i have the same John Deere 317 first off on inner hydraulics lever wont move don't know why but the outside one does and have you done a carb rebuilt on the carburetor as well and my PTO isn't working properly when I engage it the engine wants to stall out its not the switch I replaced it. Idid check the gap on the PTO and set it at 19 thousands all the positions if you have any suggestions to help me it would be much appreciated. 👍

@mikestarcher 2 ай бұрын

Hydraulic lever is probably just rusted. The carbs are easy to rebuild, I've done tins of them. Turning on your pto likely kills the engine because there's a safety not happy
