- This should be pretty much all of the information you need to know about A 317 except watching it be driven there will be how to drive and operate 200 series 120 and 400 coming out in the next few weeks so stand by
Mr. Mike, thank you SOOO much for your channel. My husband and I recently purchased a JD 317 (series 2 Kohler engine) with a snowblower attachment AND a tiller attachment. The guy we purchased it from said he bought it with the tiller attachment but never used it--he only used the snowblower. So, we were able to see the hydraulics lift the snowblower, but now that we have disconnected the snowblower, we cannot figure out how to attach the tiller to get it to lift & lower using the hydraulics. We have everything hooked up except for the lift bar. Can you tell us (or show us) where the lift bar attaches under the tractor in order to actually lift/lower the tiller? Any information you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated!!
If you look up through the hole that's cut in the back plate you will see a piece sticking down with a hole in it for a pin that's where it hooks it sticks down instead of up
My 1982 317 has the series 2. best way to know is check the serial numbers
I liked the video couple of questions since i have the same John Deere 317 first off on inner hydraulics lever wont move don't know why but the outside one does and have you done a carb rebuilt on the carburetor as well and my PTO isn't working properly when I engage it the engine wants to stall out its not the switch I replaced it. Idid check the gap on the PTO and set it at 19 thousands all the positions if you have any suggestions to help me it would be much appreciated. 👍
Hydraulic lever is probably just rusted. The carbs are easy to rebuild, I've done tins of them. Turning on your pto likely kills the engine because there's a safety not happy
What size is the bolt for the belt adjusted where do I get a new one.
How to attach a bucket for dirt or gravel ?
How do you drain the engine oil on a 317
Videos on overhaul in the 17 horse Kohler
Havnt done it
the inner lever lifts and lowers the mower deck the outer one angles your front blade and also does your rear hydraulics.
Wrong
@@mikestarcher The outer lifts/lowers the deck, and the inner is for front hydraulics . Oh and also the outer one would be for the angle in a blade if you have power angle.
@@jasoncraig3752 yup
I'll be asking a lot more questions in the future if that's okay
Yup that's fine
Do you know what size battery these mowers use? I just picked up a 1981 JD 317 today and really hadn't looked too much into it yet. Just noticed you didn't mention that in the video. (my 4yo is in here and loud so it's possible I missed it). Regardless, I liked the video. I am probably going to try and find a snow blower for this 317. I have a 210 with a snow blower and the 317 just seems better to be honest.
You can use any lawn and garden battery that will fit
Mike, nice tour. just inherited my dads 317. can you tell me the part number or length of the tiller belts please? thanks
Just go to dear and ask for two belts for a John Deere 33 tiller
Can you tell me if the hydrolic (L&R) ports are just for ease of attachment ? Or left lever=left side ports etc.
Thanks.
Left lever is left set of ports right levers right side of ports
I need a replacement radiator for my 332 (3 cyl. Yanmar diesel)
Do the mower deck lift arms push down as much as they lift? Just trying to figure out a way to lift my bercomac snowblower with the deck lift arms.
No, they have no down pressure.
Do I have to pull the intake manifold to change the fuel pump on 317 with Kohler KT17 Series One?
I don't think so
I have a Kohler engine in my 317 and it has 2 dip sticks. 1 is for oil but what is the other one that is shorter for?
The bigger one should be just a fill and the smaller one is the actual dipstick
Needing to find out why my 317 won't start up and wanting to find implements to use with it
What's it do? Dose it crank over? Have u had it running?
So bought it back in late March and it ran fine went on a short vacation middle of April come back and it's got now crank to it at all. I'm sure the battery is dead atm also
@@donmiller4260 well first make sure u charge the battery. Than just bypass the safetys
Already bypassed when I bought it
@@donmiller4260 It was that way when you got it?
I have an 80/81 317 model, my parents got it and my dad never changed the oil. I’m trying to get it going, where can I find the oil and fuel filter on the mower?
Dosnt need either. No oil filter on these and if u want a fuel filter just get an inline filter foe 1/4" line
I just bought a 317. Mine has a single cylinder 17HP kohler and all others I’ve seen online are twin cylinder 17HP. Did any of them come with single cylinder kohler 17HP?
Nope, all had twin. Somebody put that in it.
I've been having an issue with mine running at Idle for like 5 minutes, once I throttle up it dies very quickly. Let it sit over night, fires right back up and does the same crap again... Any ideas?
If it will idle but not throttle up u probably need to ajust the carb
What happens if you over fill a 317 kohler engine
With oil? Depends how far over you go. If just a little it in my opinion is better for it, buy on the other hand if you go way over full oil will get into the cylinders and start burning oil
My belt adjusted knob fell off how do I get a decent one.
ebay maby
If I have a mower attached how do I turn it on?
Pto switch
Nice 317, what is the engine in it?
Stock kt17
Just question, why is necessary to have a fan on the transmission?
To cool it.
The oil will get hot while using it and if it gets to hot it will affect the performance of the transmission
@@mikestarcher Thanks for the info
Mine will start but stops when I release the key or release the gear shift. Any idea on what the problem would be?
Which one happens
@@mikestarcher Both. If I release either it stops.
@@GRADGRAD-jq9nk that's two different issues you've described. Letting off the key it should have power still, meaning your key switch isn't good. Unless you're accidentally letting off of another safety at the same time.
@@GRADGRAD-jq9nk my suggestion would be if the key switch tests good run a wire directly from the key switch to the coil
So where do you put oil?
In the fill tube
Do you know what the Kohler K532 is know for? I’m planning on buying a 400 with 1887 hours
As far as I know they r good engines, I have no issues with mine. That is getting up there in hours tho
Yeah, I may rebuild it maybe bore it 10 thou. Over but I like to keep my thing original so idk. I may just re hoan it.@@mikestarcher
How many hours does your 400 have?
@ThatMowerMan no idea, meter is messed up
When I engage my blades my 317 stops. What could be the problem ? I am in Logan Ohio.
@Creddy3737 it stops running?
@@mikestarcher yes the minute PTO is engaged it shuts down
@@Creddy3737 it's a safety
Or hard is it to get parts?
Not hard at all
can you tell me where the drain plug is for this 317
Engine or trans?
@@mikestarcher engine oil Mike
Should be bottom of engine but I would have to look, can't remember
Mike I do know that if the engine oil has not been changed it loses all of its additives in it and the valves will or the lifters will start to get sticky or even the wrong oil
Engine
Do u happen to have anything forsale
Yup
2 110s and a 212
And a 400
what sizes mower deck does the 317 used
47 normally
@@mikestarcher will a 48" mower deck work also
@@johnstratton5637 from what?
@@mikestarcher a john deere 112
@johnstratton5637 no but that's a 47 on a 112
How deep does your till into the ground? Looking at a 317 with same tiller.
I think it will go like 6 or 8"
@mikestarcher what would you say a good price on a nicely cared for 317 with same tiller would be? Guy told be he's asking 1500.
@@RobertO-vq9qf that's a fair price if it's in good shape. That's what I would have to have for mine
@mikestarcher what other models of JD mowers will run this same tiller?
@@RobertO-vq9qf no mower will run it. Only garden tractors. It can be used on 120, 140, 300, 312, 314, 316 Kohler, and 317
Can you show the driveline next time
Watch my engine swap video from earlier this year.
@@mikestarcher I don't need to know how it works. I just meant for the viewers. Title says everything you know about a johndeere 317 and then very minimal information on how the tractor actually works. It just covered the controls on the tractor which the tractor literally gives you instructions written on the tractor itself
I'm the one who asked and thank u I needed to now every thing u just sed my uh not throttle it's the lever that makes you drive forward and going reverse it won't move why do you know
Yours dose or dosnt run?
At this moment no it dont
But this weekend I'm supposed to get it and me and my dad are going to fix it
Its been sitting for 3 to 2 years now
What did u have to give for it?
Save your money folks, alas, no power steering on the 317.. Splurge, and get the 318 w/an Onan, and power steering...!
You are wasting your breath, everyone should know about the chock throttle people can read
Chill Karen Some people dont
Save your money folks, alas, no power steering on the 317.. Splurge, and get the 318 w/an Onan, and power steering...!
317s r better I have 2 318s.
