Re: JD350 thru JD350D Serial Numbers
219,500 is the first C series, so if it starts with 22XXXX, yours is a C model which is why it has wet clutches. Is the serial number 350CB, which would make it a C model diesel, loader crawler.

Re: Oops?
If the throttle shaft is moving, unlikely it is the governor.

Re: 420C right steering clutch slippage.
Often times it is oil contamination, which tends to get worse as the clutch gets warmer.

Re: Oops?
Make sure that the throttle shaft is not iced up in the carburetor, not uncommon in cold weather.

Re: jd420 pics
If you put the head gasket in dry, that is often an issue. Use one of the copper sprays, or Hylomar.

Re: What gas for an old 420c?
You can add a little lead substitute if you want. You likely aren't going to put on enough hours to cause much valve recession. Octane is a waste of time on these old girls, probably 7 to 1 compression maybe.

Re: JD 440IC Steering Clutch Adjustment
