From end to end on , about 3/16 " +-.
The wear being on the ring gear end. Looks kinda rough. The ring gear doesn't show any abnormal wear , though.

Thanks

OK , I see it in the parts manual now. With the exception of the spacer and the outer bearing , everything else survived.

The pinion gear concerns me , though. The cogs are tapered slightly from one end to the other. Is this JD or severe wear ?




Thanks for your help !!!!!!!!!!!

No problem. I appreciate all the help. Looking at what I can see without pulling the clutches , I believe they're ok. gears just weren't meshing together with that bearing bearing gone and the end nut off the spindle. The left track works excellent and the owner said the right track went out all at ...

I got it pull today and what I found was almost a releif. Whoever was in it last has welded the nut on the end of the spindle and their weld had broke causing everything to come unglued.

OK , thanks for the reply.

Hi Lavoy,
I'm in search of bearings and seals to rebuild the final drive on a 350 CE dozer.
Any advice or direction ?

All help appreciated.

Thanks , Steve. I found the right side track to not pull because the outer spindle bearing was completely gone. With the spindle " sagging " on the sprocket end it wasn't splined in at the drive end. Meaning, once I broke the track I could freewheel the spindle until I picked up on it and I could fe...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and will certainly appreciate any advice on the project at hand. I have a 350 C that has a bad final drive spindle bearing. The outside bearing without a doubt , the inside ?????? I don't have a manual on this machine and I'm working to remove the spindle and replace th...
