Hi Everyone,
I have a 318 (1985) with a rear pto and 3 point hitch. I just got a 332 (1987) and would like to switch over the rear pto and 3 pt hitch from the 318 to the 332. Is that possible? How hard is this to do? What about the rear pto wiring, can that be switched? Also I had just put new tires on the 318 and want to switch them also, do I have to have them broken down and remounted or can I just pull them off and switch them?

Thanks for the help.

Moved to it's own, stand alone thread.

rear tires should swap over with out issue

3 point should swap over with out issue

PTO and wiring will have to be answered by someone else

Put the tractors side by side and start disassembling the 318 and do the same on the 332.
Just move it over.

It all the same stuff except for the front wheels . 1987 are 25mm ID bearings instead of 1 inch , So the front tires will have to be taken off to transfer . All else is exact transfer , but it can get a little hairy with the wiring transfer . There was a serial no , break specific to how the tractor was wired in regards to rear pto . No biggy , but can get a person real confused .

Thanks everyone for your help. Looks like I have a nice weekend project.

I'd like to complete 1 step at a time and it seems that switching the 3 pt hitch over would be easiest, can that be done and not interfere with switching the rear PTO over when I get to that? Or is best to both at the same time?

Dennis,

In order to install the pto gearcase you'll need to remove the rockshaft, so this is best to do them at the same time.

Are there any instructions available on how to install the rear PTO? The 3 point hitch looks straight forward, but I probably will need help with the PTO, especially the wiring.

Darrin,
Thank you for the instructions. This should make things so much easier.
