Gave it a good second look with better light and it is a break in the frame just at the cross member. Both sides have broken though probably not at the same time. The left side has a short steel plate welded on the bottom of the frame while the right side has a steel plate held in with one bolt. It ...

:?: After fixing the power steering leak and checking all fluid levels I slid under the crawler to see what I need to attach the belly pan. While under there I tightened up a couple of loose bolts. Are the frame rails supposed to be one piece on each side? Mine are in two pieces. It it is a repair, ...

:D Update on the hydraulic leak. It turned out to be in the power steering circuit. Got the hose off yesterday and a new one back on today. What a miserable job! That short hose, about 11 inches long is really tough to work with. I has very little flex and has to bend to connect to the hyd pipe that...

I have a 350 with a 6 way hydraulic operated blade.

Lavoy, since I'm a newbie I'll show my ignorance here. I have a 6-way blade. Is that a 63 blade? The service manual subtitled JD Crawler Tractors and Crawler Loaders # SM 2063 has no info on blades, just loaders. Do I have the right manual? Is there a separate manual for the blade? The hydraulic lin...

I had chance to play with the 350 today, temps in the low to mid 60s. Couldn't find a possible leak until I started it up. While I couldn't pinpoint the leak for sure, I did find hyd oil dripping from a hose clamp on the left side nest to a radiator hose. I can't be sure if that is the origin of the...

Thanks, Lavoy. I guess I'll go to plan B, whatever that is...

Dave,
Being a granddad is the best work you can get! Enjoy

Lavoy,
What about running a chain over the blade and hooking to the tie-down ring on the bottom of the front cowling? Is the cowling fastened to the frame? and sturdy enough to handle a 24" to 30" diameter oak tree?

Thanks

I have a 350 with 6-way blade and no 3 pt hitch. Has anyone come up with a way to skid logs using the blade and driving in reverse?

Ray, you say you're close to Traverse City. I wonder if your Lindeman was used up on the peninsula in the cherry orchards?

Another point. When I tried starting it after moving the cutout lever forward it didn't seem to turn over that much faster. I thought at the time, "Well that didn't do much good", but all of a sudden it started. Sorry if I gave the impression that the engine turned over a lot faster after moving the...

I think I have all of the roll pins, bushing, c clip etc. I don't recall what else I have. These parts are down at the shop. As far as being wallered out I wonder if JB Weld around the outside of the new bushing would hold it in place. This unit doesn't get much use, or at least hasn't yet. If the c...

I started the 350 for the first time this winter last Monday. It didn't want to start, had an old dead battery. Replaced it with one from the fifth-wheel camper, which was low also. After using the charger on the starting circuit it still didn't want to start so I disengaged the hydraulic pump from ...
