JD 350B PTO Shaft Assembly

I'm thinking about adding a PTO shaft to my 350B for things like a PTO generator. Looking at the manual, it looks easy, and I'm assuming the gearing is already in and the shaft just needs to be added. Does anyone have any experience in putting one on or knowing if this assembly is available to buy?

Did you first check to see if you have the separate hydraulic assist line before adjusting steering clutches? I did that only to find it half full of sludge and the other half empty. i cleaned it out and refilled and mine is running much better without having to get into the steering clutches.

350B PTO shaft Assembly

Thinking about putting one on my 350B. I suspect it should accept it, meaning the gearing is already there from the transmission, and all i'd have to do is to drain the fluid, remove the cover, insert shaft, then refill. Anyone know where to get a PTO shaft assembly?

ok, got it. My fix to the cold fluid was to put a magnetic heater under the oil pan and hydraulic tank and let them warm for about 3 hours. This didn't help the fluid in the lines and pistons, but figured it was easier on the pump. Other than running slow, i didn't notice too much issue in the cold....

Hi Digitup, thanks for the reply. But your bumming me out, although I was thinking it has to be something like that - not just fluid or an adjustment. Can you give me any hope? Is it fixable, in the field? Costly?

Thanks for the added insight. Your right, there is no vibration in idle, only moving. I suppose something could be hung up. I'd have to get into to see, but i did notice that the sides of the tracks (the parts that ride over the wheels) were polished bright after running it for the 2 miles, but i pa...

Thanks for the thought starters. After going through my manual, i saw what your talking about. It states that the earlier models have their own pump/filter system. I'll have to wait til april before i can get to my machine and check it out. If it isn't a separated system, then it gets assist from th...

New twist on my steering issue

Howdy folks, It's been awhile since my last posting and i thought i fixed my issue, at least good enough for what i needed to do, but ran into a new twist on it. As you may recall from the previous string, we all thought it was the steering clutches needing adjustments. I went to my deer camp with t...

Yes, JDE MARIS, I've not had an issue with stopping. I simply depress the clutch and within a few feet I'm at zero. I rarely need to use the brake and actually question how effective it is in the first place. Yes going straight forward is no issue as is going straight in reverse. All four gears move...

Thanks Tigerhaze and Digitup2, you've restored my hopes to resolving this more easily than I was thinking, so I'll hope for the best and go from there. Bottom line is that I need to go thru the adjustments and see what I got there. Now since my machine is at my deer camp, and the manuals do not spec...

Thanks Tigerhaze, On the 350B it has hydraulic assist for the steering which is why I thought lifting the bucket may have some some hydraulic impact, but thinking about it perhaps shifting center of gravity is really what's helping it. I do keep it covered and have not gotten into wet areas. I was t...

More Steering Questions

Hello from another new member. I too got the bug earlier this year and bought a older model 1968 to 1971 JD350B loader crawler. When I inspected it (drove it around for an hour) the steering seems to work quite well, the left better than the right. I got several of the fluids changed and moved it to...
