JDcrawlers Messageboard

Give Lavoy a phone call, he may have a source or a recommendation. Most of the undercarriage suppliers have warehouses and/or ship all around the country. Your local JD dealer (or Case, Cat, etc.) might have some options besides OEM JD pads and bolts. And I should be correct; they are called OPEN CE...

Looks good, should do a lot of work for you. I'm with Lavoy and B Town on the track pads. If you keep them use care or it will get expensive. A good sized highway/earthwork construction company I worked for years ago had a 983 (D8 size, 6 yd. bucket) Cat crawler loader, along with a lot of other Cat...

I would say the front frame (the hyd pump and radiator mount on) can be left on the engine during removal.

You should be at the reverser pump and gaskets that would leak into that flywheel area when the engine is pulled. Be sure to look the rear main over well you could have leaks in both areas.

Here is a link to the parts catalog open to the page with the hydraulic oil pump, which I think you are referring to. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/67973/referrer/navigation/pgId/278897 If this is correct I believe you are looking at item key # 14. That fitting is 3/8 Male...

The site has a dedicated picture server you can use by setting up an account with Lavoy. It is separate from this site so you have to log into it. You can use the same user name and password there as here if you want. Some use a link to google drive or some other third party, not sure just how they ...

A 350 can be a good tractor. In theory a later one would be better, but the maintenance they have had can make a difference. Like most things improvements are usually made on things as they get newer. In this case the 350Cs (production started in 1975) had wet steering clutches which are less likely...

There are gaskets and seals related to the reverser and its pump inside that housing. It might be just the pump or it might be the front clutch cover the pump mounts on. You will have to see if you can spot any wash marks to help confirm where the leak might be. I would consider doing reseal/replace...

Hi Dan, Sorry if this is rehashing info you already have. That manual is on line, in the John Deere parts catalogs. It is only about a dozen pages including the introduction section. If you don't have any responses to your request, you should be able to print it out from there if you want a hard cop...

If you don't know about John Deere's on line parts catalogs; you can go to https://jdparts.deere.com/servlet/com.deere.u90.jdparts.view.publicservlets.HomeUnsigned?userAction=doNotSwitchToLandingPage and get an idea of the parts and drive arrangements available for different machines by studying the...

Personally I would be looking for a 350 or 450, C series or newer with wet steering clutches. Those will still have things to tinker on. I think even the straight 350/450 and the B series would be better for your needs and most parts are more readily available used. Not to say the 1010s were not goo...

That is the correct format for the machine serial number. This serial number confirms the machine is not a 350C. This serial number indicates it is a 1965 straight 350 crawler loader with a diesel engine and sliding gear transmission with a reverser. 1965 was the first year of the 350 model producti...

Welcome to the site. It is common to have a cotter pin installed loosely in clutch housing weep holes. The intent is the pin will wiggle around as the machine operates and keep the hole open. The oil could be from the rear main or from the reverser/transmission area inside the housing. Often the eng...

An electric powered hourmeter requires a ground and a power source. You have the ground. and you may need to connect the purple wires together. Does the purple wire from the harness have power on it? If it has power all the time key on or not it is not correct. It may come on with the ignition switc...

AL2919T subs to AH76113, 5 per pack. 20 Amp SFE style, .250" diameter 1.250" long.

You appear to have the loader serial number according to the straight 350 crawler info. Here is the note from the straight 350 parts catalog that applies to that. " *NOTE: SERIAL NUMBER PLATES ON JD350 CRAWLER LOADERS BEAR THE NUMBER 7350 AS A BASIC PREFIX PORTION OF THE SERIAL NUMBER. THIS IS NOT A...
