Hey I bet you may have something there , I've noticed putting fuel in that the tank would have vacuum on it even if its been settting, I will check that tomorrow. Thanks cantbeatadeere

My 350 B diesel dozer seems to lose its prime, if you start it back the next day it will start ok, but after that the longer it sets the longer I have to crank on it and use starting fluid, anyone have an ideal what to look for? Thanks

That is a nice looking job on that 450B, I have the same year [ 1973 ] 350B that I just done a rebuild on, that 450 looks much heavier.

You should look into maybe getting your old one back, never know may get a good deal on it

Thanks jtrichard for the info, I think I'll get me one I need it, so you just fill yours until you fill alittle resistance on the gun?

On the low pressure gun does anyone know what pressure they put out? I was thinking about plumbing a pressure gauge in the hose of a regular gun.

No , its been awhile but I know you have to take them out.

Thanks for the response, but that was about 4 years ago, its long gone

Thanks everyone for a lot of good ideals and suggestions, you know you cant say anything much for a fact on these old tractors, lots have been changed, but I had just about everything apart on it and I'm as sure as I can be that it had never been apart, it didn't have many hrs. everything look origi...

Thought I post some pictures, worth more then 1000 words :D I'm guessing the spring on the front cylinder broke first then it came off and somehow the rocker broke the top off the valve, chicken or the egg :? http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u280/mno720/DSCN2624_zps9a40af95.jpg http://i170.photobu...

Yell its got me also :? , if someone told me the same thing I would be thinking about the same Leonard, it is a diesel, 3-152, I've seen a spring brake on other things over the years, some on my race cars but you can understand that with big cams and 8000 rpms, but 5 out of 6 broke :? I'm not no die...

Well went out to get some dirt on my 350B dozer today and didn't turn out good, after about 8 hrs. started pecking, pulled valve cover, front valve spring broke and about 1/2 inch broke off top of valve, bent pushrod. I can understand a valve spring breaking, I"ve seen it on other engines, but there...

Let me say I'm no expert, but I think that picture is of the frame rail where it bolts to the cross member, I think someone has welded it after it had probably been ran with bolts loose and or missing. They are probably more bolts missing also on the inside of the cross member and where it bolts to ...

Ok I took it out today and got alittle dirt on it, I guess for me to have everything apart it done good, everything worked fine except the governor, its not working, that's been couple of years since I had it apart, I guess its time to get the book back out, anyone got a guess what I did wrong? Than...

After about 5 years working on and off it finally rolled out today and the blade even moves :D , thanks for the help I found here also, glad thats over or I hope it is if everything works :? thought I leave some pictures.
