  1. Gear Drive Tractors
    Hi all, I just finished restoring my 112 square fender last night. Fired it up and it ran like a top. When I shut it down to check the oil then start it back up, the relay was just clicking. Brand new battery and 12.45 volts running from the battery to the starter after trying to crank it over...

    Hi, I have a 1988 318 with the Onan P218, and the starter is loose / slipping and chewing the teeth on the flywheel gear when it tries to engage. I pulled off the side panels, but can't find any way to reach inside to tighten and adjust the starter. Do I have to pull the engine out to get to the...

    First time poster here. I've been googling for quite some time and think I've looked about every where for some help. I recently became the owner of 1980 Deere 317. It has what I believe to be a Onan p218 replacement engine. When I first went to look at it, it turned over. I picked it up a...
