It is a 1000 rpm spline but the PTO runs at around 800 rpm on a 350 and closer to 900 rpm on a 450-550 machine .Before we had many 4x4 tractors around or selfpropeled harvesters When it was wet in the fall of 84 the 550 was new.We had over 20 inches of rain one month and the fields were just slopin ...

It is hard to tell if it is the shift linkage or the iner colars or some thing else .If you have a old early 350 with a trany top shifter it will maybe be the forks or fork pins that are the problem .Digitup.

If your frames are that bad look closely at your rollers they are probably eaten out at this point with salt or potash what ever they ran in they look good but the plain berrings inside will soon just vanish so just watch them . Lavoy should be able to get a set of 350 crawler loader track frames .D...

Bud a standard grease gun will work just fine .A pistol grip gun works great a leaver action works well also but remember not to put all your weight on it as you could push out seals yes but you will have to apply considerable pressure to do that .A common sense approach is needed for this job.

If you have the hoe mounts you should also have the big hydraulic pump but remember the 350 is smaller than the 450 and it is hard on a little 350 to run the fullsize hoe around on the back sprockets .Track life and drivetrain punishment are a certain killer to a combination like that .It is super h...
