Pulled in a 418-8

[bo dawg 579]

Just got me a 418-8 tonight, been wanting one ever since I got a 418-A couple summers ago. Needs some cleaning up but runs sweet and decent older 48" deck. Of course the paper ID tag is wasted on it.

What would be the model number on it?

Nice tractor! Should be 31-18K801.

Now you just need a 418-C to complete the 418’s !!

Love the 418's. I too would love to acquire the elusive 418-C.

Didn't get to use it much after it was completed. I did acquire a reduction steering system that needs to be cleaned up and installed.

@Andy N.  thank you for the quick response , something  I quickly see ? your paint  recovery finish stage , done a lot of it , using penetrating oil spray down , let sit a few days or more , then a mineral oiled , clean cloth rub down , usually breaks thru the cloudy grunge , my paints have  been brought back  with that , finish with a 6 " electric palm buffer , cleaner wax , usually pulls the paint right out  , only thing I regularly do  is a mineral oil  rub down , stays clean and clear  , no dust or rust ,https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/search/?q=paint recovery &quick=1  might try it on an inconspicuous spot for  trial . the look of your paint  is perfect  for this , pete
