A virtual minefield....

Re: fuel additive
Hi, Yes, I think the crawler in question is a 350 or a 450. And, I agree, the modern diesel fuel isn't a clogging issue any more than older fuel was. Crap in the tank, on the other hand..... I've seen plenty of that on various machines. ;) However, it did jog my memory. If we are talking about an Ea...

Re: fuel additive
Hi, Pump? What pump? These are gravity feed. Makes me think you are talking about something else and not Early Model JD crawlers. That'd be OK, but now we need to know what you are talking about. Like maybe you are talking about a Late Model diesel machine, maybe? But, then, I haven't had or heard o...

Re: Straight 550 transmission
Hi,
Hmmmm. Well, oil get thinner as it gets warmer. I suspect there is an internal oil leak due to the spare parts you have found. So, the operating pressure is likely close to Not Working even at the beginning. Then, it doesn't take much to cause things to stop.
I agree with Lavoy here.

Re: Straight 550 serial number
Hi,
I don't know. I pulled the serial numbers from a JD Dealership trade-in guide. But, we have seen some other oddball-ness with other machines with respect to those listings.
Looks like there may have been some production in 1975 which did not make it into that list.....

Re: pic server DOWN
Hi,
Wait! What?
You had to get a Cat D6 for the JD Crawler pic server to get to working again???
Something here does not track.
Track. Get it?
Seriously, that sort of thing happens quite often, actually. IP address and such issues that is. Not buying a D6.

Re: JD350 thru JD350D Serial Numbers
Hi, I also think the tag is just mis-stamped. There was no definition for what C means as the second letter. B is a loader. So 350BC doesn't tell us what we have here. 350CB does. That old thought about oddball B series with wet steering clutches comes from an overlap is the serial number data. I do...

Re: 350b pre cleaner
Hi,
Nothing goes inside it. A pre cleaner is a curved path for the air to follow which results in larger, heavier, stuff getting stuck in the bowl. That lets the main filter element have a longer service life.

Re: 450C fluid changes
Hi,
Ok. There was that change along the way.
My post is correct if one has the older rollers on a C model as does my 350C.

Re: 450C fluid changes
Hi,
Well, track and.roller lube is NLA. So Corn Head grease is what you need to use. And get a Low Pressure gun, not a normal one or you won't have any seals left to worry about.

Re: 1010 fan belt replacement?
Hi,
Accu-Link belts work just fine. I have used them on machine tools, such as lathes, were the power transmitted is a lot higher than to run a water pump and a generator. They aren't cheap though.

Re: Need photo of 1010c transmission drain plug location
Hi,
The 'fun' with any model is Deere always makes running changes. And, they are usually called out by serial number breaks shown in the Parts Catalog.
I have seen drain plugs with different styles in different locations on many models.

Re: jd420 pics
Hi,
If it had a differential, both tracks would still move. Just one would move forward and the other backwards when you moved one manually.
When you steered, with brake only and no steering clutch, one track stops and the other speeds up. Disconcerting. I had a Terratrac like that.

Well, there is the Accu-Link belt scheme. I have used those many times in situations such as this. Harbor Freight carries them, of all places.....
