crazy spin to the 2 318 / 44 loader story guy calles me tells me he talked to previous owner that had both running and said the one with no pump ran of the tractor pump ....so he is going to talk to him again for more details ....
My buddy has a 260 rear mower that came with his 650 tractor, so uses the 540rpm mower gearbox. All rusted out and done for but looks like it would have a good machine back in the day

this 260 came with the 318 loader package new ...so it runs off the 2000 rpm pto .and 3 point hitch

The pump on the tiller is much different from the loader pump -- tiller pump is 9 GPM and 2000 PSI max. The loader pump is 5.25 GPM and rated at 1000 PSI as I recall.

The loader pump is part number PT9200 for the 318, 322, 332 and is a clockwise rotation. The loader pump for a 420 or 430 needs to be a counter-clockwise rotation and is part number PT9201.

And yes, the 260 rear grooming mower runs off the 2000 RPM gear reduction rear PTO/drive and can be used in conjunction with front attachments or the loader if mounted. Does the second 318 tractor in the pictures -- the one with the weight box -- have a rear PTO of any kind fitted to it? Can't really tell much from the pictures, but it does not appear to have a 3-pt on that one.

i will make my own ... thats not a problem
That rear-mounted mower and the front-mounted power broom are the only two implement attachments I think I don't have for my 430 as far as type goes, so that's pretty cool you have an operable one of those mowers. I don't think they're very common but presumably they'd do the trick if one had the loader mounted as well
Great finds Steve. Your collection is impressive.

Edit: this is your friend in RI you text with about JD finds. I still need to make it out your way to see this stuff in person. Maybe we can fix those suspension seats as we discussed.

I’ve got a 260 2000rpm grooming/finish mower for cat0 hitch if anyone is looking for one and close by Connecticut. Missing half shaft ( tractor end ) one caster and a caster wheel. Decks very solid with zero rot, just surface rust on underside.
I’m interested. I can’t msg you I think you need a few more posts. What do you want for it?
