1985 I believe.
Google JD318, go to the Tractordata.com and see the serial numbers listed there.

Some members' have the service tech manuals that maybe can get you the wiring diagrams.
Having to re-wire, or track down a problem?

I poked around a bit, and looks like this .pdf should help you out.

Well as you have already ordered and, I guess, received your replacement harness, keep doing what you are doing.
OR
Just wire up what you need to make it run and work.
If you don't plan on selling this unit, you can throw away all those safety switches, and the delay module.
You only need to provide 12v power to the ignition coil, connect the regulator to the battery and a wire to the clutch.

1985 confirmed via TractorData.com.

Smiley,
It turns out that the Linamar engine is the same as the Onan, just with a different label on it. Go here for some info:
How Many Have Heard Of The Linamar Engine? - John Deere Tractor Forum - GTtalk
Not sure if you are trying to pull our leg, but the onan engine uses electronic ignition, no points.
