Thanks guys , the only reason I thought using diesel oil it's because it was built so much like a diesel. But no problem using those other synthetics either .. will do and thank you

Straight 350 gas with reverser I went the whole way, and had my engine completely rebuilt by Baril Engine in Green Bay... Filled it up with Fleet Farm Farm-Rated 10-30 for break in... A quick look at my manual and I don't see a break in procedure (I got it running, but I need to go to bed for work t...

Thanks guys comma no I have a little more ammunition for the next time I go back there. I know this send their stuff down to Green Bay. I've had brake linings been there before. And if I get the guy that I intended to get in the first place, I should be good

Okay guys, I'm having trouble attaching a picture. I have a John Deere 350 straight with a Direction reverser. The center hub that connects to the center input shaft of the direction reverser, has a ring around the other three eighths of an inch that appears to be some sort of hardened rubber or clu...

Thought I'd give u an update...all three liners leaking.. Orings were dried up.

Was just going to have the machining done.. (#2 journal was starting to show wear and bearing just starting to show heat...)
I decided to just let the machine shop do the whole thing...

I pressurized the radiator with a radiator cap style pump.. Definately tearing it down and rebuilding it, I just dont want to ruin my chances for more evidence (being able to pressurize the coolant jacket) before my friend sees it for himself. I also see this as a learning experience for me. The fac...

well.. thought i'd keep you updated. Compression test.... 1 is 120, 2 is 105, 3 is 90 Couldn't get bubbles/noise/change in level in the radiator from putting compressed air in each cylinder Couldnt get bubbles/noise/ change in level from putting compressed air to the valve cover vent (just enough pr...

nope, no oil cooler

These are wet sleeves?

Hopefully will be doing my diagnosing today, got it inside last night

*offers a hearty handshake in appreciation of his comment... (as I am not a hugger)

Thanks...

yes... isolator... sorry about that.. didn't sound right when i typed it, and never could think of what i wanted to say, and was too distracted to make sure i got it corrected with the right word (Trying to get a trailer big enough to haul it on, so i dont have to haul it the 3/4 of a mile back to t...

I've heard 350 engines have a tendancy to be run hard and put away wet, so leaning against getting a used engine, has this been anybody elses experience/though process?

also, Lavoy, You have any heads/blocks in case I need them?

350 straight gas dozer So i've had a slow/moderate oil leak ever since i got it a few years ago.. lose/burn a quart of oil every 8 hours of use or so. Runs and starts fine still.. long story short... theres prestone in the oil. Hopefully a bad head gasket, then bad head, hopefully not a cracked bloc...

*cough I know a lot of people that would take the floor out of a school bus and put the rest on posts...paint it green if you want.

Just a little thanks to Lavoy and all you guys for all of the help you have given me and so many others on this site. Just had a less than positive experience on another chat room trying to get a wiring diagram for something.... The equivalent on this site would be, "Oh, your brakes don't work? Bett...

Yep. Mine now. Its a 14 inch with 10 foot overall bed blaisdell. Someone either dropped it or twisted it in half (scary thought) and its been repaired. Scabbed and brazed. Worse case senario can make my money back easy on scrap... Someone else said just move the head 2 feet tward the tail and should...
