A couple of quick ways to Identify the "C" model... 1. look under the seat,, a c model will have the steering clutch levers going to a small hydraulic spool valve and as you pull the levers you will see the chrome spools,,, no such thing on the straight 350 or 350B.. its all mechanical... 2. the "C"...

There should be a pipe thread plug on the left side of tranny as you sit in the seat... It will be near the bottom but still in the side just before transmission casting folds around... it will be just behind the front of cover of the first section of tranny... in a little pocket,, use a flash light...

I talked to a guy in your part of the country and prices seemed very good. his name and company.. Glenn Russell Vista Equipment LLC 360-314-7413 I think it was Oregon but not sure,, they were Korean product, ITR or KUT, I have bought and used ITR and found it to be quite good,, But stay away from th...

Sounds like your manual is for a 450 or 450B... are you sure the manual is correct for the machine and is it a 450C,,, whatis your serial number of the dozer... Not much adjustment on the 450C as it is a whole assembled clutch pak when you put it in the machine.. springs, plates and disks are checke...

sorry I should have posted sooner but trying to keep the snow off the dozers and have only been on here sporadically lately.. atleast it's not that 20 degrees below zero forever like last winter.. I think dr Loch or somebody posted this whole procedure a year or so ago so I won't go into the whole p...

I ditto what everyone else has told you:: this may sound foolish but I think it is either something very simple or the pump... check the simple things first, if it is not one of them , then it's the pump. check to make sure it has plenty of oil,, check to make sure the valve on your right as you sit...

Pretty sure I have one,, I just read this and it's dark out now,, I will look in morning and let you know,,. thanks Mark

Dear sir,, I measured a 350 parts loader in my yard... On the backside of the bucket,,, the brackets that hold the pins for the loader arms... outside of bracket to outside of bracket on opposite side is 33"s with a 3 3/8"s space for loader arm to slide into.. with 1 1/2" diameter pin...hope that he...

the outer winch drive bearing is jd7145, gasket is t12405 and the rear seal is at11676,, all these parts are at the rear of tranny where pto sticks out of dozer,,, just so we are on the right page.. I have no info on the spool valve... but most parts are just o-ring seal or quad ring seals... easies...

O.K. guys here is address in Pa.

they have 3-track presses and the prices they quoted me were very good and knowledgeable people,,

I wish they were closer to me.... Mark

Willie, it's nothing you can do... you have to take it to a track press shop.. here in Vermont it has become almost unaffordable...especially for the smaller dozers,, as an example a JD450 costs around $1100....and ofcourse you have to take the tracks off and take them to a shop.. you being in south...

I agree with Leonard check the simplest most obvious stuff first.. it sounds like you don't have enough oil... you said you can't read the site glass, can you look in the tank with a flash light and see any oil?? take a tape measure push it down till it hits the oil then measure along out side of ta...

Hey,, you guys gossiping about me and my winches? I don't mind alittle gossip as it lets people know I am not dead yet Ha!.. you gotta love Stan as he tells it as he sees it,, I think I am a realist but depends on the day.. some days I am not very pleasant oh well... and thank you Paul he always sho...

Wow you must have some big trees Scotty!! I have some JD winches for sale. 2 for a 450 and 4 for 350 if things don't work out... One reason I cut the cable is it usually leaves a big kink in the cable and always frays at that spot... One thing you never want to experience is being in a hurry and gra...

Scotty, sorry to say but you will most likely have to cut the cable with torch or cable cutter.

that's one reason I only use about 75ft,, because they get tangled and get them out,, and it pisses me off to cut a good cable.. but that's life..

good luck Mark.
