Thanks again Jim B, Yes I definitely want to be careful. But it is important that I get it leveled and seeded before winter sets in.

I am thinking it is OK to run the 350C without the hardnose, as I have a task to do before it rains and is forecast to rain Friday ( could come earlier). I just need to grade out an area where I dumped dirt and clay with my wheel loader and I want a nicer job than just using my rear Box scraper. Als...

Thanks Jim B

Radiator Cushion Foam on my 350C JD dozer was 40 years old and pretty much gone or dry and just rubbed off it you touched it. Is it necessary for me to replace it before using the dozer to level some soil on flat ground? As it is supposed to rain Friday. I am hoping to have my tractor back together ...

What is this baffle I see in my Parts Catalog PC 1480 for my 350C item # 2 Part number T 17284 is it a piece of square foam ?? Looks like it fits over the Radiator fill inlet and under the Radiator Cap.

Manual states on Pg 55 of Operators manual (OM-T70343) Issue C0 Add oil specified on page 39 to transmission filler hole Capacity is 10 Gallons (37.8 L). I finished placing the entire 7 gallons into tranny will finish my radiator install and then see if I can place another 2 to 3 gallons in it. Befo...

I understand the transmission Capacity for my 350C is 10 gallons. I pulled the 5 drain plugs and allowed them to drain overnight, so it should be empty. When I got to pouring in gallon number 7 the hyd fluid started flowing out of the fill tube! I am assuming it's just a venting problem and if I wai...

I got 2 new hyd hoses made up yesterday I installed them on the cylinder, the other ends are caped and not yet screwed into the steel lines as I am am in the process of installing the block guides, but I have possibly run into a slight problem as I would think the block guides would or should clamp ...

I would imagine there is a factory torque value or a recommended torque for the crankcase oil drain plug. I have searched and have not found it. Anyone know what the Torque for a 350C oil drain plug be ? Besides.....tight ? I already have it tight, I just don't want it to go from tight to stripped. ...

I think the parts manager assumed at the time all I needed was a 1/2 water hose. TI contacted Gates Corp, got this reply this morning from Gates RLB is and older cancelled hose series that has been replaced by the current “RLA” hose below suitable for an oil return line. Part 3284-4032, 8RLA x25 foo...

Sorry I forgot to state I am trying to beat the rain so need to get my 350C operating ASAP. I would hate to have to remover the Hardnose and radiator to replace the hoses again if the fail because they are the wrong ones for this application.

I am looking for the correct replacement hose for my 1981 JD 350C Dozer, the original hose is a GATES 8 RLB ½ INCH 2 BRAID MADE IN USA. The JD dealer parts guy said the original hoses are no longer available and for me to use a straight hose to replace it. He gave me a GATES EB 4230T ½ INCH straight...

Thanks you are correct, I tossed a charged battery on it this afternoon and it started as it usually does. I was in a panic as our parish have placed a new foundation and I have a fellow coming by tomorrow morn to move my dozer to the site so I can finish grade the site and cut a ADA compliant parki...

I only start my 350C every 6 months or so. Sometimes it sits even longer But every time in the past it would start almost as soon as I hit the starter. Yesterday I went to start it Battery was low but it turned over pretty good but NO start kinda felt like it was not getting fuel I have at least a 1...
