Not just any D318 will do. Has to be compatible with grader oil clutch configuration. Different block, crankshaft, flywheel and oil pump to deliver and return engine oil to clutch.
Hello is a 318 from a D6 9u farm tractor going to be compatible? Have two parts tractors with oil clutches, both turn over but are missing parts to start and I have not tried to run them. Located in eastern Washington, Mike
Hi Mike,
as OM and others have said above, ONLY a Grader engine will fit as there are many differences for the oil clutch system for the Grader engine application--different and special crankshaft and cylinder block for starters--these are major items that are NOT used in any other applications and so a D6 or other application D318 CANNOT be used in your Grader as a replacement.
You are limited to finding a used Grader application engine only and/or parts.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Thank you to whoever saw this wanted poster. Then called the guy in California who's dad passed away. His dad had purchased a D318 wet clutch motor out of a grader in Texas I believe , hauled it to California, rebuilt the complete engine. I purchased it today and shipper has it. Will be delivered next Friday hopefully.
Thanks
