John Deere all-weather hydrostatic fluid or an equivalent type "F" automatic transmission fluid
If it only shuts off when the PTO is engaged it could be the field coil on the PTO is drawing too much current and activating the self resetting Circuit Breaker attached to the starter solenoid. This happened to me on our 316. If the PTO is shutting off it could be a bad connection on the field coil wire.
(from the John Deere website: www.deere.com)You can order a replacement manual from John Deere:Call: 1-800-522-7448Have the tractor serial number available when you call so they can be sure to send you the correct manual.
You can get an Owners manual for you 316 JD at your local John Deere dealer. In this case you will need your serial # off the tractor and you will need to know if you have a Kohler, Onan P218G, Onan P217G, or a Onan B43E. Many of these dealers will mail you your manual if you don't feel like driving to the store.

Yes it does. Most of the hoods from the John Deere tractors of that era are interchangeable. Here's a list of the hoods that will fit the 318: 200 series: 200, 208, 210, 212, 214, 216 Early 300 series: 300, 312, 314, 316 Kohler, 317 Late 300 series: 316 Onan, 318, 322, 330, 332 400 Series: 400, 420 The hoods for the 200 and early 300 series mowers are slightly different than the hoods for the late 300 series. They will all fit a 318, but the hood used for the late 300 series uses a different type of headlight lens than the hood on the 200 and early 300 series. The hood for the 200 and early 300's has a lens that just covers the front. The hood on the late 300's wraps around the front. Hope this helps!
I just did this today. Remove the drain plug located on the bottom of the rear axle. The reservoir contains 5 qt's when full. Add transmission fluid to the filler hose located just above the dash under the hood.
