Thanks for the replies. I have a shop manual but it doesn't go into details about the cylinder disassembly for whatever reason. I should be able to take care of it now though. Thanks again and I'll be back here if I have any other problems.

Hi. The boom cylinder on one side of my 350 developed a pretty major leak this past fall and I am trying to fix it over the winter. I pulled the cylinder and unthreaded an outer ring which was somewhat stripped. Now how do I disassemble the cylinder? It looks like there is a snap ring in there? Its ...

Thanks for the advice that's what I did wrong. Have it all back together now and it works great.

I am rebuilding one side on my 350. I took 7 and 8 discs out and am putting in New steel and bimetallic discs. I can only fit 6 and 7 discs for the correct pattern. It is a bit thinner than what was there but with 7 and 8 it is about 3/16 of and inch too thick. Is it alright to put it together like ...

I used tdh. I think I will try the oil that John Deere recommends. If it is the pump I would like to limp it through the summer and rebuild it over the winter. Would that cause any excessive damage

Should I be using summer hydraulic oil if there's such a thing. If you check the fluid it's quite warm a...

I put some tdh in and it works fine. Thanks

Worked fine in the winter and early spring but now it has more weight on it (backhoe) and it's warmer so it won't go up a steep hill and barely turns. It worked fine before so I think all will be well once I change the fluid. ...

What kind of oil should I put in the direction reverser on my jd 350. My manual says type a transmission fluid but is there a suitable replacement. Thanks

Hi. I changed the oil in the direction reverser on my jd 350. Before it worked fine now it has no power. I put in atf fluid instead of type a transmission fluid. I think the atf is too thin. What oil can I use. It is impossible to find type a. Thanks
