Re: Hardened Valve Seats

Yes, machine shop would need to do it, it isn't expensive, cheap insurance. Ask them as to doing both intake and exhaust.

Re: Straight 550 transmission

Like many other aspects of all crawler, lack of maintenance is what I often see talked about as a reason for failure, specifically not changing the trans filter because it is hard to do. This probably means that the fluid did not get changed much either.

Re: Straight 550 transmission

In general, you do not read anything good about the 550 transmissions. I would say you are looking at a tear down, sorry.

I am not sure, but I think it is very unlikely.

Re: 440icd info

Any of the J20 spec lubes is my preference as well, or Hygard direct from Deere.

Re: 440icd info

Yes, AW32 is what you want. If you are in warmer climes, you can use AW48 as well.
Yes on the GL5, but flush the trans with diesel or kerosene and get as much moisture out as possible first.

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.
