Deere 350B needs to go

[GregW]

I have a Deere 350B crawler loader I'd like to sell. Motor runs great, steers good ( new Clutches). Reverser works,but slips. Right track tight is ok, left track popped a seal last time I tried tightening. Sprockets and rollars are good. Loader is in good work order, plumbed for a backhoe which I no longer have. Does include the heavy backhoe mounting brackets however. Has a few leaks or drips. Located on my farm in Platteville Illinois. This is in N.E. part of the state.

Just getting old and I need to start spinning off these projects to empty out the shop.

Asking $4500 obo

I am sorry for the problems and you needing to sell it. Just responding, the JD350B stole my heart back in the early 70s.

We ran a couple in the 70s building campgrounds. Yours is the first I have seen with a Backhoe setup listed. Ours had that, it was awesome. It also came with an Auger attachment. Lots of holes in campground for posts. Bucket was mostly for digging out the Outhouse Vaults.

Front had a 4-1 Drott buckets. We used the bucket and the blade a lot and together a lot, fantastic. We had no issues other than the backhoe hoses would pop off once in a while after we had put it back on (mostly ran it with it off unless drilling holes).

Pretty funny, we would be going from one area to another and see the oil trail. Ok, Earl will be at the end of it with the JD350. We would just go back to our load out area was we kept 5 gallon cans of Hydraulic Fluid there. Then we would follow the oil trail knowing Earl was at the end of it no longer moving.

We did not have radios back then, but a busy operation and he knew he just had to wait a few minutes and someone would spot the trail or miss him.
