john deere 314 48 mower deck

i have a chance to buy a 48 inch mower deck that came off of a 314. will this deck fit on my 318? is there anything i have to change. are the mule drives the same?
 
NOT sure if the OEM ever used the "48" deck on the "318".

"Mule" drives are the same. 318 will require rear lift straps like THIS: (Key #12)

Mower from 314 likely has rear lift straps that look like THIS: (Key #7)

That would be the issue, possible solutions are to swap rear lift straps or modify as needed.

The 314 style has the retaining pins for the rear lift arms captive to the tractor, and the 318 style has the lift pins for the rear lift arms captive to the mower.
