oil cooler- got it. thanks.
thanks for the part number and description.
sometimes the more simple things trip me up a bit.....

Ok I will measure it and try to cross reference and size it- thanks. So I got mine back- the shop repaired 2 small cracks in the top tank the best he could (said he would chase his tail fixing it if he did it proper and then it would just fail) he then added shop stop leak on the bottom tank to stop...

you are awesome- correct- same wire deal, I have been in dirt and woods but not fencing. I thought I had pulled it out before but when I saw the wet, I found more on the backside..... i haven't noticed anything while i ran it but maybe the dirt wasn't powder dry to show it? thanks for the link- and ...

so the machine is parked on sheets of plywood so I could pull the radiator instead of being on dirt. I noticed a fluid puddle under the machine right at the sprocket area and wire spooled around the shaft. I got the wire out and now i am looking for diagrams to see what happened and what's wrong. an...

thanks- will do

well shucks.

anyone no of where to buy a replacement radiator?
the repair shop said the estimate to recore mine would be $900 to $1100 and he advised agaist this as the tanks conditions left a lot to be desired. it looks like the prior owner put several patches on it and non of them good........

So I finally got around to removing the radiator, you were correct the 4 belly pan bolts and the 3 (#20) bolts from each side and the HEAVY nose cone pivots forward-
Now to drop it off at the repair shop and see……..

Thanks I will look for a name brand zerk (not sure what that is really) and not be going button head style.

i bet you are correct-
3/4" length
i have never used/seen a button head so this makes more sense now-
thanks i will try one of them.
i took the fitting out and cleaned it and the ball seemed to work but once i put it back on and tried it was squirting out again so it definitely isn't ok....

The zerk side is likely 1/8 but not the thread size-
The book says item 10 is jd7828fitting 1/8”x3/4”
I looked up this part number and it shows as a button head zerk- not what is on the machine or anything I have ever seen-
?

I blocked up under the rear with 6x6 blocks under the draw bar and then used the bucket (teeth down) to lift the front up- the front raises up till it hits the rear blocking allowing for the machine to be blocked in the air to release any weight/tension on the tracks-

Does anyone know the size of the grease zerk in the track adjuster? I put my track back on and tightened it and noticed after pumping grease into the zerk it was weeping back out slowly thru the zerk nipple, after letting it sit a few days I moved the machine and the track loosened and when I looked...

lesson learned/thanks yes i have a 350C. thanks for the info guys- i am looking for a place to send the radiator to see if it can be repaired (it squirts out the front upper left corner pretty good) but am researching how much of a chore it will be to get out beforehand.... i am thinking the radiato...

the cowling is the "nose cone" in front of the hood that the grill is inserted in.
my understanding is the hood comes off and the cowling needs to come off to get the radiator out?
i am not sure what steps are required for the cowling (where the bolts are)
