Apparently you all know about as much about them as I do.

I saw that Rockwell ad when I was furiously Google-ing "Use of Dozer Slope Boards." It was about the only thing that came up. I was hoping there might be someone on here who does or did this for a living and would know how they are commonly used. The ad points out that it can be used as an extension...

I have finally finished restoring a 1967 350 dozer. It has a slope board on it that works. I don't know what a slope board is used for, and if I sell it, I don't have any idea what range they sell for. I imagine they are used to work on uphill road slopes, but what else? So, my question is: What are...

Is the starter missing? I just had mine rebuilt. 200 bucks, but it's "brand new."

I am in the middle of a major rebuild on my straight 350 engine, and found that he previous owner welded the pulley spindle on the water pump. I need a pump or a good pulley. I have a 53,000-plus serial number.
Thanks,

Argh!

Where were the two cap screws? I am getting ready to do the same thing as soon as my hands recover from the viral arthritis attach I have going on now. Usually lasts about six weeks, and I am in week four, so I will be taking it on in next two weeks, and could benefit from your trail breaking. Pictu...

Missed an isolator update by one month. Argh! Anyone have or know where I can find an isolator/update/? Thanks a bunch.

got it. turns out it is a 1967 350. either the parts guy is dyslexic or i am. i am sure he said a 1976 350.

:D ok,boys -- i think i finally have it. i now firmly believe it is a 1967 straight 350. yay. serial number is right. steering system is right. injector pump is right. engine/cooling systems are right. it came to me with a 350b tech manual, a 350c op manual, and a new straight 350 parts cat., = pc-9...

Some confusion now whether the "C" on the decal stands for "Crawler" rather than the sequence in the models. Waiting for daylight out here to go down and try to figure it out once and for all. [See other thread.]

Well, I am adequately confused now. Can't wait for light to go down to the machine and get more confused. :

Thanks I have the head ready to come off. When Pape gets my new gasket I will get some help and lift it off. Couldn't do it myself because I think I tore my rotator cuff, and I didn't help it any yesterday. Doctor at 9 AM. I found Deerlely last night on Google and expedited a manual, and that will m...

When I gave the local parts guy my serial number to order some parts he said the machine is a '76 350, not a 350C, even though there is a huge "350C" decal on each side of the fuel tank. I guess the tank could have been changed, or the machine was modified to a C or something ???, it isn't that impo...

Thanks, Lavoy. I have questions. I am familiar with sleeves. I have inserted them in a shop class at the local JC. I am not familiar with a "sleeve seal." Is the "sleeve seal" what I call the sleeve? What is it and what would show up in the pan that would indicate a problem with it? The head gasket ...
