Loader should lift them fine. Sounds like your brake rods are rusted off or disconnected. I have brake bands on hand, and normally all the steering clutch parts too.

if the break rods are rusted or broke how would you fix that. can it be done without pulling final drive.

You would most likely have to pull finals to replace brake rods, not sure you can get at the pin in the final case to unhook them with the final on.

I bought this 350 to do a job I completed the job with it not steering very well and no foot break. now my question if I find someone to repair the breaks what can I expect to pay. I don't have tools or know how thinking I may just resell it but I have a farm and would like to keep, it seems good other wise (thanks so much) I know it is a hard question.

ok lets first get you oriented as to location.....please click on your login (login) and then get back on the drop down box you will find profile...click on that and it opens your profile....find the edit button on that and enter your city ..state and country......that way you may find that someone on this site is nearby and may well offer help or would be interested in the machine itself should you decide to offer for sale....

this site certainly has vast knowledge and they are willing and available to answer questions and advise.

I love this site so much good info. I have never broke the track on a loader sounds daunting, I have a good place with heat and I don't have a lot of projects this winter I have a air compressor I think I will buy some jacks and put it up after deer season. trouble is if I cant handle it, :D getting someone to come in.
