A neighbour of ours once had a contract to remove a railway line, and to run his TD6 along the road he cut the side wall of a scraper tyre into blocks using a chainsaw and lots of water.

If you check out http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=1705 you will see that to connect the blade to the crawler I drive over the sub-frame, connect the hoses and retract the rams which raises the rear...

JD has the parts book online - I'm not sure but you may need to sign in (its free).
Go to deere.com click on parts top left then click on Agricultural Parts then click on view parts catalog and then enter 350 in the find model box and select your model.
