A 2WD lawn and garden tractor from the 300 series is the John Deere 316. Between 1984 and 1992, John Deere produced this tractor in Horicon, Wisconsin, in the United States.
The Onan B43E (0.7 L) or Onan P218G (0.8 L) engines, as well as a shaft-driven hydrostatic gearbox with an endless number of forward and reverse gears, are included with the John Deere 316 garden tractor.
An inferior model of the John Deere 318 was the JD 316.
The JD 316 lawn tractor utilized either the Onan P218G or the Onan B43E (early version) (later version).
The Onan B43E is a two-cylinder gasoline engine that is 0.7 L, 710 cm2, (43.3 cu in), with a cylinder bore of 82.55 mm (3.25 in) and a piston stroke of 66.0 mm (2.6 in).
The rating for the compression ratio is 6.2:1. The maximum output power of this engine was 16.2 PS (11.9 kW; 16.0 HP) at 3,600 rpm.
The Onan P218G is a two-cylinder, 0.8 L, 782 cm2 (47.7 cu in), gasoline engine with a cylinder bore of 82.55 mm (3.25 in) and a piston stroke of 73.0 mm (2.87 in).
The rating for the compression ratio is 7.0:1. The maximum output power of this engine was 18.2 PS (13.4 kW; 18 HP) at 3,600 rpm.
Both engines used a full-pressure lubrication system, a fixed jet carburetor, a dry-type air cleaner with a pre-cleaner, and a pulse-type fuel pump.
The JD 316 has a manual steering system, shoe and drum brakes on the back wheels, an open operator station, and a gasoline tank capacity of 17.0 liters (4.5 US gal; 3.7 Imp. gal).
