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...

B Town has a point. I see you joined years ago so you must have seen at least some of the posts relating to issues with the wrong decals on machines and or people not reading the serial numbers correctly. I will ask anyway just to be sure, have you confirmed your model by the serial number? As you k...

Here is the parts catalog page. Looks like lever and fork should move together. There is a roll/spring pin through both holding them to the shaft.

Just to be sure when you say you replaced the main clutch you are referring to the engine clutch and are now looking in the left steering clutch compartment, correct? The steering clutches are applied by oil pressure and when you pull on a steering lever it dumps the application oil releasing the cl...

They don't always come off easy, but you need to pop them off to make the adjustments. As for putting them back on I don't think they are needed so left them off, just make sure the locknuts are set. There are a number of posts about them on the crawler boards. I think some have put them back on, mo...

I think the pump on the unit should be fine at those dimensions as long as it doesn't loose fuel. I think you may want to look at having a check valve and a manual primer pump to help with bleeding after filter changes.

I think most I've seen were plywood with cleats attached, one or two might have been thin cut boards. Using wood over the batteries makes sense if you think about it, lessen the risk of a short as it protects the positive battery terminals even if slid to one end of the battery box or the other. I t...

I too believe that is an original. I remember seeing a number of crawlers with those over the batteries, even if the tool trays were missing. The parts book shows AT18737 as a plate, NLA. The drawing looks like this as well.

It is good the pads and grousers look good, but the condition of the chains, rolls, idlers, and sprockets are more important in determining the amount of wear, life remaining, and how well the tracks will stay on, in my opinion. Is any grease visible around the adjuster on the track that is slack? T...
