JDcrawlers Messageboard

Guys, i posted a problem with loss of reverse drive and didnt get much of a response so i am assuming my problem should be obvious to me, or more easier to diagnose after some proper maintenace and fluid changes. got my gaskets and filters and will get on it soon. do you guys have any advice for flu...

Hi folks, My 75 350c, with a slight leak on the reverser coolent return line, works fine and pushes well but than after 20 or 30 minutes reverse direction gets weaker until it doesn't engage. As it starts to go i can get it to operate in reverse by pushing in and letting out clutch pedal. No loss in...

thanks guys. i think i am ghoing to go with the old truck hood as a slide and a welded up chained and winched arch off the rear. to keep it simple it might just be a come along with acouple of pulleys and snatch blocks. great ideas.

thanks for the advice guys. if i undertsnad it the 350c , with no pto or winch, does not have ar everese in the tranny so it would be all reverser taking the load. i have been hauling these sticks using the vermeer dd using the hydro crawl mode and the chain as my boom and now i am worried. but that...

Hi folks and Happy New Year to you all. Question about the wisdom of hauling 10" to 20" logs out of the woods using a chain on the 6 way blade. The blade is pretty strong pushing but do I run the risk of damaging the system by skidding a few logs at a time in reverse using the 6 way. No winch on my ...

Thanks for the reply KenP. Checked all connections and battery but before I change out starter i'll clean all connections. Battery is fairly new and I put it on a trickle charge that brought it back to 100 percent in 5 minutes. had 14 volts at battery and on switchs and starter supply line but did n...

Happy new Year to all! well i had my day of reconing and finally said at Christmas Eve dinner with the family, " i have a confession to make". and then told the family what i had done. boys laughed, wife glared. well i can't tell a lie. she simmered until sunday morning and then, ouch. oh well, we a...

Thanks for ther reply guys. went out to crank 'er up this last weekend , to do the oil-fluid-filter change and it was froze up i think. checked battery, fully charged, found broken battery clamp and replaced both, checked continuity and voltage at solenoid. it will make a click when i hit the start ...

Kenp, just loaded up santa's sled with a bunch of 303 and stuff to do the full fluid change over the upcoming holiday. local NAPA has pretty good line of filters for the JD. i'll bet some of these other issues go away when they are fresh. was also concerned about the fuel tank sump being clogged or ...

Ken, thanks again for reply. i have not jumped out or opened any neutral safety switch and don't plan too. i start the machine in neutral in the tranny and reverser and let it warm up at low idle. i probably haven't let it spin down long enough for the reverser and will try that. Do you think the fl...

thanks for the reply and have been digging depper into earlier posts. trying get familair with the 350 and how to use the forums and posts. thanks and a service manual is on the way. Regarded the neutral safety switch: maybe i am calling ti the wrong thing, but the engine wont crank unless i have th...

I am new to this forum and just getting familar on how to post this publicly . In numerous posts you guys seem to be very experienced with the 350. it is new to me and i spent the last weekend getting very familar with the unit with just the operators manual and a lot of grease. if i understand prev...

i am having some problems as well with t/o bearing. gears grind and i think t/o is shot unless there is an adjustment i am not aware of. it will go into gear at low revs(still grinds)and the clutch functions well once in gear but unless i jump out neutral safety switch i can't put into gear without ...

Can my wife divorce me becasue i bought a 1976 JD 350 dozer without her knowledge or approval. I tried putting a bow on it and told her I would ...
