Got my toy in shop, got engine out- think I need Tylenol !! Crank needs ground, flywheel needs resurfacing, needs block decked and cyls needs boring, one new rod, then new pistons and rebuild head. Haven’t touched finals or steering clutches yet. Ouch!! Has had a block repair by water pump mount. Be...

Just a shot in the dark here— but if whoever installed liner originally , and wasn’t paying enough attention to assembly to cut rings on liner, just maybe also with the problems already posted here with the liner etc, I would be cleaning all head bolt holes in block, to make sure bolts are actually ...

Thanks for info. I came across a 350 ( with a loader) has frozen steering clutches, can get pretty cheap. Has been sitting for a few years. Didn’t know if I could use some parts for my 440ic, or repair it and sell. Sounds like repair and sell.

Thanks. My parts order from you is getting bigger, and I haven’t even got it apart yet!! LOL.

Does a 440 ic gas engine model have a tach? Mine has a plug assem over the hole by the distributor, but wondering if JD had a tach as an option? Would be neat to have as many options that were available when they were new.

Do all JD 350 have Diesel engines ? If some have gas engines are they the same as 440ic gas engines? Are the engine clutches the same-gas and diesel?

Thanks Lavoy. Would you have that throttle stand?

Forgot to mention, by serial # , this is a 1958 model, #-442172
Are the steering clutches same for these early units, same as later models, or is later ones better?
Are Diesel engine ones stronger? If newer models are better, can they be installed on my older unit? Will 350 tracks fit on a 440?

Have my 440ic up on blocks, noticed tracks seem to be worn in pins/bushings. Noticed that bushings are only as long as link, so if I removed any pin in track, the track would come apart( without pressing or cutting) is this normal? On a cat, the bushings( other than the main link) the bushings protr...
