There were once new decks available (BM17879), but they seem to be NLA. Is there a new part number? Or are new replacement decks truly not available any more.

I was going to retire my old girl, but can’t bring myself to do it. If I can’t get a new deck, I may do it anyway. Don’t really want to go with a “good enough” used one.

😆 even the new decks are old now

I saw someone with a new old stock wanting a small fortune for one still in the box

Not sure if this fits the 318

Mike that first eBay link has a pulley in it that’s like 270 from Deere. If you needed it that parts deal is actually a really good one.

That 38” deck is gorgeous. I believe that’s for a 200 series.

Can you get full spindle assemblies rather than rebuilding the spindles? Part number. I see spindle assemblies, but low confidence that they would be the correct ones.

Thanks for the responses. That 38” looks great and seems like it would be a good deal for the right buyer.

You can adapt that 200-series deck to fit a 318...I did so and put one under my 322. Those are good decks if you can live with 38-inch cut. I have one on my 212, 216 also...far superior to the shallow 3-blade deck, still use that now and then as a brush hog.

Thanks for the part numbers.

38” is too small for me. I’m mowing a couple of acres(and sometimes more).’

I thought so too, but the guy said it's for 200s and 300s. Figured somehow it could work

Don't retire her! Check Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for used decks. Guarantee you could find something. If you don't have a Facebook, trust me, Marketplace is worth it.

Any reason a nice used one wouldn't work? (It'll match the tractor better too.)

There was a fellow with a NOS newer style 48" deck on CL a few years ago, up by Cedar Rapids I think, it was pretty pricey (as it should be).

With as many of these as there are getting parted, finding a decent deck shouldn't be too bad. They aren't even too hard to service, if they need a little TLC.

I found a 50 on marketplace a couple years back from a local stripper (I've given him lot's of one dollars bills over the years...LOL)🤡

 

[Jbo_c]

I have another deck that’s in better shape than the one I’m using. I’ve decided to try a rebuild on it. (Though I’d probably still buy a new one if I saw one not too far away.)

[TempletonJDguy]

Once you get a deck it’s pretty easy to take care of it. A nice used one with no holes will last a lifetime if cared for. As soon as you put a new deck on and use it it’s used anyway right?

I think the draft arm mounts are wrong.

I am just outside of Jacksonville Fl and have a really nice 48” replacement deck for a 318. I wouldn’t let it go cheap though as I don’t know if I’d be able to find a better one. Still has some original powdercoat on the underside.
One spindle needed the top bearing replaced so I pulled all three to rebuild.
Not sure where you are located but if you’re interested I could send pictures.

 

[Jbo_c]

Thanks, Thomas. At this point, I’ve been inspired to go ahead and rebuild an “extra” deck I have. Will keep you in mind in case I get frustrated.

Sure thing!
Good luck with the rebuild!

 

[TempletonJDguy]

Thomas that’s exactly how I price things. What would the cost be to replace. I have one 48” deck that I did the bearings on and I think I might try it instead of the 50” this year. I really like the new design with the greasable spindles. I also have another one I saved that had wet grass all caked into the mulching kit. Not sure how those kits work but I have enough problems with caked grass never mind a mulch kit.
