Thanks

does anyone have any idea of how to check the torque on the reverser to transmission bottom bolts, i checked the top and they are tight but getting to the bottom looks tuff. anyway back to the electrical, so far i have not found anything in the electrical system that is working, even the hour meter ...

well the work continues, I have as usual gotten obsessed with not having an electrical system that flakes out every time i want to use the dozer, so i started with replacing the main electrical connector, then after i saw what a disaster the control panel was underneath, and testing every thing only...

thanks for the reply, to clarify i have a full doner mid 70s 350B, so i have the donor (i think) but was leaning toward the juice is not worth the squeeze.
thanks for the input

my 69 350 does not have it but my 350b does, it is possible/worth retrofitting?
i'm a big boy and so fare the lack of power steering has not bothered me but i have not used it that much.

WOW, man have i started an expensive hobby.

Thanks Lavoy, I have designed a 3d printed part that allows the use of some inexpensive off the shelf 25A and 45A waterproof pin and sleeve connectors to replace this if anyone is interested in the future i can provide the file of a print if needed. Photos to follow after i complete the project and ...

how important are the hose clamps that secure the hydraulic hoses where they pass thru the lift arms on the 6 way blade? is there a source to obtain them. yes i will call Lavoy.

never mind i found it

thanks Jim, I have decided to build a custom solution to the main electrical connector, i will post photos later. I cannot get excited about putting a used unit in there, gives me a reason to break out the 3d printer. I'm still interested in user experiences on the fit of the 6-way, so anyone that h...

"Have you called and talked to Lavoy?"
just messages on this site
my local JD dealer and i have a complicated relationship, ie they are agg and not construction equipment and do not really care to be if you know what i mean.

does anyone know how much play there should be in the 6-way blade?

Lavoy, thanks for the response, I think you are saying that it is not available new from any source that you know of?
I have a work around that i'm planning but just wanted to make sure i was not overlooking an easy solution.

@Lavoy, is there a replacement part for the main electrical junction block for the early 350 (1969)?
