Just wanted to close the loop here - I ran her for a while today , finally got some time. Performed flawlessly, hydraulics are great - no leaks there under load. Blade holds the tractor up easily. The oil is looking good and there is no sign of cross contamination of oil or coolant so I hope it stay...

Thank you Stan, Cornhead it is. The dealer shook his head but when he looked at it, realized it is the only #0 grease he had. It went in easy. But I can't get the track adjusters to budge - any trick to freeing them up or do I start disassembling? Should I be worried about the torsional isolator fai...

Well all, after the coolant in the oil scare, I got new filters and oil in the engine, flushed all the old diesel, cleaned everything a bit, 303 in all the requisite orifices, new battery, and hit the button. I got bored while the air was bleeding out of the lines, so I shot a little ether from the ...

Thanks guys,
once I get the water and crud out of the fuel lines, I'll start her up and see what happens. Hope fully the leak "goes away"

HI all, now that I know my dozer is a straight 350, I got the filters, manuals, and fluids for it and set about draining and refilling.

Thank you all - I downloaded the operators manual and ordered a parts manual from ebay - at $180 I'll get the service manual as I need it (likely soon I suppose)...

Now for a battery oil and filters!

thx,
Byron

Thanks! I did read those threads and got a little overwhelmed as to the potential problems in the trans and reverser bolts and housing pins getting wallowed out and bad IP and such. A manual is first on my list, but I want to get the right one. Are they all the same for any 350 then or do I need to ...

Thank you all for the replies! Sorry, I had it backwards on the reverser lever location - my brain won't absorb so much information so quickly anymore. So, lever on the dash means straight 350 - that is what I was thinking anyway after looking it over and reading all the forums here. Is there anyway...

Hello, I am new to this forum and new to the world of John Deere Crawlers, or crawlers in general for that matter. I thought that all JD's were green ;) Anyhow, I'm an automotive engineer, but this stuff is all new to me. I bought a JD350 that came with a farm - seemed like a good idea at the time. ...
