JDcrawlers Messageboard

Last winter with foroms help I replaced seal in reverser. Now after one seasons use I seem to have another reverser issue. Seems to work ok until it gets warm then does not want to move machine. If I use manual tranny to backup then moves machine. Thinking it must be a pressure problem but not sure....

Looking for a winch to fit a 1968 straight 350. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

My 350 crawler has no serial number on it but now that I have pulled engine out I found the serial number for engine. Is there any way to identify my crawler with the engine serial number? Numbers are
type M-41TE serial number 040879T

After more research into this problem the guys who have upgraded seem to be very happy. My issue is the high cost. Bought my 350 for help in cutting about 8 cord of wood a year. Now obviosly when operating this 350 I'm sure I will find it will be great for some other things as well, but will never s...

Yes ken all that is bad are reciever splines. Two questions . Would there be a chance of finding just the splined part? One would think if owners have changed over to newer style that maybe some old ones would be out there. Second question. Has anyone heard of rebuilding just that center. If I can f...

Pulled engine very little push pull on input shaft. Part on flywheel that recieves shaft with 5 springs holding it on is bad. What is this called and would you have a part number.[/img]

Thanks Ken. Yea I need to find a service manual. Gonna atempt to pull engine this weekend. your pics and information will be invaluable. Again thanks.

Just wondering if the reverser takes the same fluid as the transmission.

I am new to operating a 350 straight. Are you saying when working machine hard while backing up i.e. dragging big trees that one should not use reverser but instead actually engege tranny in reverse?

Thanks for all the information it's a great help. won't get to it till weekend but sounds very doable. Thanks again

Further investigation shows the oil coming from drain hole at the front of the reverser. My question is what do I need to order for parts or maybe I should wait until I have engine out to order. Be nice to have parts so I don't tie up shop. The knowledge on this site is invaluable. Learning as I go ...

Thanks for all the help. Crawled it in shop today and soon as I find service manual will begin. Yes I do have a couple mechanical buddys willing to help. Will more than likely have more than a few ? so please stay tuned. Spent 4 days clearing trails got 20 good saw logs and brought home 12 cord spli...

Thanks Ken pics are sure nice very helpfull. Need to get service manual to tackle this. Do you know the best place to find one. And is sm-2063 the one I need. Crawler has brand new rollers on both sides clutches were new 3 years ago and gas engine burns no oil plus feels real strong. Truly believe i...

Yes I believe this drain hole is where my oil is driping. Iwill get a manual but need to figure out exactly what I have. When I purchased it was told 1968-1970 350 straight. That fill tube is the only fill point on entire machine if that helps. The only decals are on side of hydralic tank & battery ...
