Does a John Deere 316 hood fit a John Deere 318?

Answer 1

Yes it does. Most of the hoods from the JOHN DEERe tractors of that era are interchangeable. Here's a list of the hoods that will fit the 318:

200 series: 200, 208, 210, 212, 214, 216

Early 300 series: 300, 312, 314, 316 Kohler, 317

Late 300 series: 316 Onan, 318, 322, 330, 332

400 Series: 400, 420

The hoods for the 200 and early 300 series mowers are slightly different than the hoods for the late 300 series. They will all fit a 318, but the hood used for the late 300 series uses a different type of headlight lens than the hood on the 200 and early 300 series. The hood for the 200 and early 300's has a lens that just covers the front. The hood on the late 300's wraps around the front. Hope this helps!
