Nice pictures. I just built one like it, but with a third plate with a hole through it to lock it to the chain. It's designed to use a fifty ton manual jack along with different size punch bars.

Thanks. That works fine. I'm not in a hurry.

Hey Truck209
I'm looking for a few pads, and possibly nuts and bolts. My 350C tracks are a link short on each side and I plan to replace the chains, but need a couple of pads to cover the new chain link. Maybe we can work something out.

Many diesel injector fuel pumps are not designed to run out of fuel. If they are not primed after replacing the fuel they will break. I found this out many years ago when I was a farm hand. My boss cranked over the engine of a Ford 8000 after it ran out of fuel, breaking the injector pump. You will ...

Got my 350C service manuals yesterday. Now that I have a better idea what I will need, I'm saving up my money to rebuild the undercarriage. What I plan to do is run the dozer this summer... and possibly next... I don't have a lot of work to do with it, and the following summer I will tear down the u...

Yea. That's what I imagined. If I do the work myself the cost to rebuild should be reasonable. The hour meter reads 940, so I doubt it has worked for years. With the other work the seller did, and with all the fluids changed, I think it will be a decent machine for the price. We'll see.

Hello. Here's some pictures. As you can see, the undercarriage hasn't got a lot of life left in it... learning lesson. But I think there's enough life for me to play with it for a while. If you have some idea's please let me know. Thanks. [/img] http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b618/shikkeron/563...

Thanks Lavoy I do intend to buy new rails and sprockets in the near future. The dozer was delivered Saturday. I parked it on wood planking, but it was just too cold for me to do much fiddling other than to take a few measurements. The rails are worn past 100% and the sprockets are shot, as far as sa...

Do you still have those manuals?

Thanks again for the information. I will try to get this picture stuff figured out and post some pictures early next week... seeing I can't get internet at home. Whatever you are able to suggest regarding the undercarriage would be helpful.

Hey All. I'm new to this website. Just bought a 350C. It's being delivered to my place this Saturday. I have several other tractors and one track loader (Case 310). My dad bought an OC-4 back when I was a little kid, and I've always wanted to own a dozer of my own ever since. Now that I'm nearing re...
