I am looking at a 1010 for undercaraige parts for my 350. Does anybody know if the tracks, track rails crossbars are the same?

Thanks lavoy on the break cleaner. I think any flushing will make me feel more comfortable. My old tracks that came of this other machine are single grousers but the track chain is worn down to the pins the front crossbar has breaks and missing pieces where it bolts to the track rails and 1 tensione...

Ken I am happier than a pig in S#@t. I located those plug locations to find no plugs but jambed tight with dirt or clay. Nothing a screw driver couldn't push through and out came all the sludge. Enough to place large empty gallon jugs to catch it after seeing how much and long it took to all slime o...

Ken
I feel like an idiot it appears so obvious in your picture. This whole time I was looking at the indent on the right of that plug in your pic. I can't wait to get home to check this out. Thanks so much for taking the time to post a picture. Much appreciated

I would love to see some pics. Is this somethind attached to the loader bucket or in place of the bucket?

I am also looking for a drott 4 in 1 bucket for a straight 350 and am in the Albany ny area. Having one of these buckets make the grading and leveling much easier.

I like allo the posts about possible different fluids to put into the steering clutch housing but I still do can not find the stupid drain plugs. I see where there would be one but no spot for a ratchet or extention to attach to. Do these get taken out through the inside? That seems pretty difficult...

i'll have to check for them plugs again thanks. the funny thing is the left steers real good even with this oily mess in there. The right side is tough I think it is the brake band being worn out as I have adjusted it and it appears to be maxed out. I guess I'll drain the cavity and see what happens...

Yes this is a straight 350 dry clutches or at the least suppose to be. Any ideas on how to drain this cavity? Thanks for the ideas on propping the levers back

Thank you all for the help on the diesel shutting down posts. Since I ended up with 2 off these 350's I am hot on the trail to get one into a reliable workable machine to keep for a long time. I am hoping the rod bearing holds but after moving 12 1ton dump loads of fill that the town dropped off I a...

Well I changed the front rod bearing and changed the injection pump seals. Its running smooth hoping it lasts ran it for about an hou time will tell

well the front rod bearing spun and looks as if I will be needing a new crank or get it turned. I think I am going to start changing undercariage parts to the gas unit. The only tough part is I need to change the front crossbar and it appears the loader is resting on it. Thanks everybody for the hel...

Is there a chance the bearings can be changed with out pulling the engine? I am wondering if I pull the crank main caps if bearings can be slipped in over the crank journal?

Ken Thank you for the info. I have spent much time on this sirte reading many posts and looking at everyones projects. I did find where you posted on this same problem with fuel going into the oil. I may just convert this whole machine over to gas and rob the engine from my other machine. Thanks aga...

Well in an attempt to see what is causing the low oil pressure I drained it to take the oil pan off and it appeared awfully thin. So for the hell of it I filled it back up with new 30 weight and the oil pressure rocketed up to 45-55 at high RPM. at low rpm it wouldn't drop below 20. This did not get...
