Re: Need pictures of back of 1010 crawler loader hydraulic quick connector for backhoe

If no diverter, likely not a hoe crawler, so will be small pump, and the J hooks will probably not have the heavier bracing of a hoe crawler either.

Re: JD350 thru JD350D Serial Numbers

I don't think that the parts book support that possibility, but been a while since I researched it. Plus historically, when Deere did changeover between models, production stops while the changes are made to the plant for the new model. There is really no reason to have made a conglomeration crawler...

Re: JD350 thru JD350D Serial Numbers

Then I would guess it is a mistamped tag, as the serial number seems to jive with a C model.

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.
