JDcrawlers Messageboard

I don't have direct knowledge of the 350B but in looking at the parts catalogs it does appear the B needs the PTO control lever and related parts like the straight 350. The winch drive shaft and the PTO shaft were different, but they used the same shaft and control arrangement in the transmission to...

Welcome to the Boards. What are you trying to install for a winch? The 350B used the JD model 3315 power winch. Does your 350B have a power shaft already installed and sticking out the back of the crawler? If it does have a shaft, is it the winch power shaft (it has a short splined outer end) or a P...

Just flush some clean, fresh diesel through it, not brake cleaner type solvents. It will need lubrication, and the brake cleaner solvents will take lubrication away.

I am not mystified by them; however, I know I don't have the special tools, equipment, and latest technical information to do a rebuild correctly.

If you just want to flush it some remove the timing window and hand pump the transfer pump to push some fresh fuel through it.

Don't be surprised to find this thread has been moved to the Late Models Board by a moderator once they see it. posts about 350s, 450s, and any models newer belong on the Late Models board. A 1982, 450 would be a 450 (model) C (series), not just a 450, as there is no space between the 450 and the C,...

According to the service manual page I copied and posted for you previously, the E in the engine serial number means it was originally installed in a 350 crawler loader. Could it have been swapped from that into something else over the years, of course, but it left Dubuque in a 350 crawler loader. A...

Congratulations on getting it after a long wait. Have fun with it.

The clamps go on the fixed metal ends of the cable jacket. On a 450E the one on the handle end is about 8 to 10 inches below the handle in a hole in the side panel under the seat, it sounds like you are set on this one. The one on the winch valve end is mounted on a bracket towards the center of the...

287035 is a 1977 serial number according to the list of 550 serial numbers on the FAQ Board here. The current part number in the 550 parts catalog is SE501415. I don't have part numbers dormant of the aftermarket starter that are sold as "upgrades". When you say "Where can I buy one?" Are you asking...

Welcome to the Boards. You will likely find your thread moved to the Late Models Board once a moderator sees it, as this Early Models Board is for the 2010s and prior machines. There are not many here with 550s and they may not have seen you post. I don't understand just what you are looking for as ...

Welcome to the Boards. Your dealer told you correctly, with a gap between the 550 and the C, it is a straight 550. The C means it left the factory with a 6405 inside mount 6way hydraulic blade. Your serial number falls in the 1980 group according to the 550 serial number list on the FAQ Board here. ...

If a member is not from your search area it is going to be hard for anyone to give you any specific help. I can suggest you check with some local earthwork contractors. They might have a small shop and be able to do something during downtime or they may know of a shop that does such work. Ask your l...

I have gotten a couple things from PB&H. They are good guys. Thanks for the reminder, Leonard. The handle missing won't stop your pump from working unless the disconnect has opened. If you can reach in there and turn the pump shaft by hand or with pliers it has opened and likely why your hydraulics ...

To be clear are you working on the engine clutch or a steering clutch? They all get adjusted with the tool, but some related answers to question might be different depending on which clutch.
