JDcrawlers Messageboard

Teighs, thanks, but the link doesn't seem to work, get some weird computer message.

Granddad, welcome to the board and JD crawlers. The "float detent" is just a little "hitch" when you push the "T" handle forward. It will stay that position until you move the handle up or down. It just opens the up and down valves to let gravity lower the blade. Handy for back-dragging. This is wha...

(I'm in...thanks Lavoy!) Have a '66 350 crawler/six-way and the float detent doesn't hold. Where would be the first place to look in the valve body?

Working my 350 crawler (T4F3D045316T) in heavy clay. Sometimes backing up out of a hole using the reverser it seems to hitch or slip for a few seconds before "catching". Doesn't do it in forward, or on the flat. Is this something that can be adjusted or a symptom of the reverser wearing out?

Lavoy, don't know where Horace is, but hope you're high and dry.

The latest issue of Two-Cylinder magazine has a good article about the JD 3 cyl. engines that went into the 350 crawlers as well as some decent pics.

Found a NOS at Polk's...$4,500. Mine's almost new /PTO (no top link). I'm asking $3,200. (Pete/ME is my new handle) Will dicker.
