Nice project, just spit balling here but is the z bar the same between the 225 and the 318? If you push the ball stud in until is bottoms out your still too long?
Rock Auto shows 2 different ones, I don't know if they are correct though

Yesterday was nice, I got my lawn work started. Today started out nice, then some rain moved in, a little sun and now that it's dark some rain came back.
I always use a steel straight edge and check with a .003 feeler gauge, make sure the gauge won't slide between the straight edge and the head.
