I have a 67 jd350 that we just rebuilt and I have been using it to finish landscaping. Just recently, the reverser has become very hard to shift. It seems to loosen up a little after the machine has been run for quite a while. Any ideas what may have changed to cause the reverser to become so diffic...

I was able to get the starter off by using a combination of the JD wrench and a 9/16 distributor wrench - took some real patience - lost my watch in the process. I think my labrador took it into the hay field while i worked on the dozer!

thanks for the pix and info - i searched snap-on for a b4400 and it didnt come up - is this an outdated snapon wrench? . Is the JDE80 available thru JD dealers?

i was able to remove the wires with no problems. i just can't get any room to get wrenches into the two mounting bolts. i was able to get a 9/16 box wrench onto the top bolt, but don't have much room to break the bolt free. as for the lower mounting bolt, can't get a socket or box on the bolt. will ...

Sounds like my starter on the 350 has a bendix problem. It just spins up without engaging the flywheel. On this nice evening in western MD tonight, I tried to remove the starter. Couldnt even get a 9/16 box or socket in to budge the top bolt. the bottom one I can't even get any room to move a wrench...

thanks for the info - we'll try it this weekend / keith

I have a 67 jd350 that we just rebuilt and there is just one problem with the reverser. when cold,. the reverser works fine in reverse and forward. After use, however, reverse continues to work fine but forward gets sluggish and then fails to work.You can put the clutch in , then release, and then f...

I'm new to the forum and bought a 350 in the late fall. i'm reading up on the posts for 350s and wanted to share a few pix of the machine. the weather finally broke today and we got to 30 deg. i have a drip in the fuel pump (pix5) and need a cylindar repacked. one clutch sticks at first for a while ...

I'm new to the site and have been doing alot of reading. Posted on the early crawlers board and found out my newly acquired 350 is a '67. Got this in the late fall and need a little work. Fuel drips at the inlet to the fuel pump when it is running, and one of the lift pistons needs repacked. Going t...

Sorry - he wrote those numbers on a bill of sale under the VIN line, so I can see by looking at the faqs, it appears to be mid-67s. and yes, it is a diesel. i'll move over to the late model posts after this

thanks for the info - i will do some number looking this weekend and post my findings - as for the year, the previous owner wrote up the bill of sale as a '64 with the vin# as posted above so i assumed it was an earlier model. i can tell you that it is 6way hydraulic blade, has a reverser, aux hydra...

Hi all. Im new to the site and new to JD dozers/crawlers. Got a 350 in the late fall - seems to run well with just a few problems. Fuel leaks when it is running out of what appears to be the pump, and I have one piston that needs repacking. Smokes on startup - white, but settles down once it is warm...
