JDF, I have the same wheel weights I haven't seen them anywhere else, funny.
I agree that it's either a 316k or a 300

JD,
Not a bad conversion at all to put a P218G in a 318 that previously had a B series Onan! Sorry my thorough discussion in my earlier post was any discouragement -- it was not meant to be anything other than informative...
Just notch the frame for the solenoid clearance or change the pan & starter from the old engine and use a firewall mounted solenoid. Since the drive shaft is a bit shorter in the older 318 tractor, you can either get a spacer -- or use the flywheel from the older B series engine which fits that shorter shaft. Many folks here have put the more up-to-date electronic ignition P series engine into the 1986 and earlier tractors, so a search here on the topic will yield a wealth of information.
If the price is right, you should get that 318. Just the upgrade to power steering is worth the effort alone and the dual spool hydraulics and turning brakes are valuable features as well.
Show us pictures when you get it...

I like the manual steering on my 18HP onan 316 better than the power steering on my 318s. A couple things I'd like on my newer 316 Onan is the dual brakes and dual hydraulic circuits. Of course an hour meter and reserve fuel supply valve would be cool too.

I followed this car around Frederick, Md. for a while today. Up until it turned and I could see the side, I figured our own Roy Schroeder had decided to make a trip east!

Anybody know what the GVW is on a Agri-Fab cart? I don't think I've hit it yet. I had to bump the pressure in the tires to 60lbs, they kept blowing off the rims.

Ahh Ok. It was a guy named Phillip and I thought it was you. If it had been a round fender it would still be in my garage.
