Hello, men. Are any of you familiar with a 316 3pt. hitch? I can purchase one that is off a 425, but not sure if it will fit. Any knowledge here? Thanks

Re: John Deere 316 garden tractor 3pt.

At first, I thought the rear frames were not similar, as I purchased a frame mount trac-vac, that came off of a 425, and to cut and weld, to fit my 318, which the frame is the same as the 316. Not so sure now.

The 3 point hitch kits are different part numbers, on the JD site, but some of the individual part numbers are the same. A very popular ebay hitch manufacturers seller, sells one they say
fits both the 316/318 and the 400 series.

So I would say "most likely". ;) These guys will tell you for sure. http://www.weekendfreedommachines.com/

Can you get the hitch at a good price? I would swear those hitches are made out of gold. I can't justify 1/3 the cost of the tractor, for a 3 point hitch.
