JDcrawlers Messageboard

The verdict is in, bad barring in the transmission. Had them all replaced ($3300).
Almost doubled the cost of the loader.

Is the countershaft in the reverser?
This noise is coming from the very back of the loader.

I have a straight 350 loader (reverser) that has developed a metal on metal screech only in reverse. The noise is speed dependent, not RPM and seems to be coming from the rear.

Got a JD 350 diesel track loader with a 4 way bucket at auction last year. Inspection was visual and they did start it. It starts and runs well. It was advertised as a 350B, but the serial number says it’s a 350 (SNE7350000467U). I am currently replacing all filters and fluids and have a couple of p...
