I've been around a lot of 350s and have never seen one that didn't have a carrier roller on each side.

Wow dude!! I mean wow!! No carrier rollers on either side?!? How do you push anything without the tracks coming off?!?!? :shock: Go to ( partscatalog.deere.com ) and look up your machine. They will have the part numbers for what you need. I would call a couple of salvage companies first and see if t...

Your number one cylinder is the closest to the front of the engine. First cylinder behind the front cover / water pump area.

My first question is how long have you let the machine run after you re-installed the injector pump? Some times they will run rough until they get all of the air worked out of the system. So what exactly is the engine doing when you first start it? Is there a dead miss? As in one cylinder not hittin...

My question would be is how did they manage to break all four of those bolts and the dowel pins. I would bet on that machine was either dropped off of a bluff or came to some sort of sudden stop for it to shear those bolts and dowels. Don't be surprised to find even more broken bolts and probably so...

I agree with your mechanic that the brakes should be looked at while being into the machine that deep. In my experience with the 350C / 350D wet steering system the brakes are usually the the biggest issue and not the clutch pack. It was rare to find bad clutches on a wet system. It would nearly alw...

Yes, get your pin lined in the flywheel so the motor is back at top dead center and on number one cylinder. there will be a dot on the end of the shaft and then there is a dot inside the pump. Once you have the two dots aligned and the pump loosely secured then you line up the two lines inside the t...

Hey sorry this is late... Your shaft is very movable but should stay in time at the gear. My question is when you reinstalled the IP did you match the "Dots" on the end of the shaft and the matting dot inside the slot that is inside the pump? You could be 180 degrees out on timing if you didn't line...

Thanks Jim... Now I know!!

You can buy a universal compression kit from E-Bay or Amazon that should do what you need done. I think even Harbor Freight and Northern Tools have a version that will work on your engine. Never heard of a 4-202 engine. Not saying they don't exist I'm just saying I've never seen one. Most early 450s...

Okay so it's the drive shaft or drive axle is what we always called them. This is a first for me as I have never had one of those stuck in the transmission. Usually they are stuck the clutch pack and rusted to the center hub. I would shoot some penetrating oil back in and around that shaft and let i...

So... which shaft exactly? Is it the vertical shaft that has the throwout bearing on it? Or the horizontal shaft coming from the steering lever?

Hello and welcome to the madness!! :D I'm not sure what your issue is with reconnecting the steel lines. They are a pain if you have mixed them up because they do only really fit one way. Then there are the preformed rubber elbows that connect the lines to the cooler. They can be a real pain in the ...

If I were to venture a guess I would say the adjuster on the right side has been replaced with an aftermarket ram assembly. Those come with the grease fitting in the end of what appears as a large bolt at the front of adjusting cylinder. That bolt is actually a release mechanism as well as the mecha...

If memory serves then I think it is the spin on hydraulic filter. Those indicators have always been problematic and will show a plugged filter when actually all it is is an over sensitive sender switch. However that being said it won't hurt to change the filter and then recheck the indicator. Those ...
