I looked at your photo and there is little to no adjustment left in that track. As well as adjusters it looks like you will likely need new track chains. The pins wear and the track gets longer. Take some closer photos of the undercarriage and we will be able to tell you more. The 350c is a nice cra...

Loose tracks slip on the sprockets however, if it is not this or rocks etc. then........ I would suggest a close inspection of the 8 bolts that hold on the rear crossbar. Loose or broken bolts are common on the 350s and if the crossbar can move just a little either way it will cause the sprockets to...

Deere sells them on line, you can have it in an few hours as a down load then take it to your local print shop and have it printed into a binder . This way if you mess up a page in the shop, just print a new one and put it in.

I have been using the ratchet style binders for a while now. I was surprised to find that I can tighten a quality chain tight enough to break it. (the chain)

Dave, this could also be the front roller bearings on the right track. Does not explain the foot brake being tight but worth a look.

David, I had a similar problem with my 350b two winters ago while moving snow. It got worse quickly and then would lock up completely when in reverse. Normal in forward. I could see and feel the brake pedal firm up when this happened. I loosened up the brake bands and drove it back to the yard. I re...

Chances are that your line has rubbed on the frame or the like and will need welding or replacing. I replaced one with flexible hose and cut the metal one into pieces to get it out rather than take all the covers off.

yep, that's it. It should have a re-useable mesh filter in it. Perhaps clean it out, if you haven't already done this. Manual suggests removing the tank and cleaning the bottom when servicing, hopefully it will be a small problem.

Not sure where you are seeing the fluid however, on my 450s the steering reservoir is on top of the engine just behind the rad. Perhaps yours has a window or, are you talking about the hydraulic reservoir. There is a wire mesh filter in there that can be cleaned.

OK I get it. I thought it was relevant in case he had low oil and was in a similar nose down situation.
I will leave posts to you experts from now on

I had a similar experience a few weeks back with my dozer. I was pushing brush into a burn pit and had it nose down at a steep angle when the reverser quit. I eventually discovered that I had a leak at the filter and it had dropped the oil below the add level. Good thing there was not a fire in the ...

It would be nice if it was as simple as a reverser filter plugged. Not sure if you know that the clutch pedal is not a clutch between engine and tranny. It is just a hydraulic disconnect of the reverser. So it could be out of adjustment as well(the pedal). I think you are going to need to to pressur...

Reals, is this machine new to you ? "Hydraulic fluids are fine" you wrote, however are you checking the level of the fluid in the Reverser?, (and for that matter, the transmission, finals, or, the power steering fluid if it has this option ?? If you are new to this unit, ) Reverser is the most impor...

Chainsaws left on the tracks do not last long I have learned as well.

I am going to print this thread and put it into my service binder, every time I have an charging problem I have to re learn the concepts.

I will say it....sounds like a dirty filter.
