Hello again, Well after searching for new replacement 9.5mm pencil injectors for my 1969 , all that i find have a fixed threaded fitting attached to the injector side.

Hello all, In anticipation for removal and replacement of my 52 year old 1969 JD350 injectors i have read most of the post. I was wondering if i were to loosen the hold down nuts on each injector about 1/8" and try starting the motor that they would start to move the injector just enough to break it...

I copied this from one of the members who posted pictures and text of the removal and installation . Reassemble the steering clutch into the brake drum. First place a fiber clutch plate against the interior back wall of the brake drum, then a steel plate. Insert the interior drive hub with retaining...

To replace seal do you just press out shaft from final drive housing after removing C clip and on the quill side do you just remove that and replace that seal . I will check out inner bearing on pinion, fee...

I have a 68 JD 350 crawler and have to replace the brakes and clutches. I am assuming that you have to lift the dozer off the ground Do you put the support horses under the rear cross bar outer edges and block under the front toe hitch. If under the rear cross bar will the two bolt that go into the ...

I recently purchased a 1968 350 and have begun to replace all filters and fliuds. The trans oil is a tan or light chocolate color , is this JD 303 or is this oil and water mixed together. In the manual that I have it talks about cold weather starts and using a # 1 diesel fuel. Does anyone know what ...
