John Deere 350c loader to 6 way blade conversion

Can the loader on a JD 350 be removed and a JD 6 way blade bolt on? Or are the track frames and such different from a dozer machine to a loader? Just curious. Thanks.

Yes you can change them from one to another. It is however a lot of work and you would serve yourself better to get a machine already configured in the machine you want to have. Your gauge widths, track lengths and drive lines are the same.

Thanks for the info. Looking at them it appeared it should go straight across.

Done a few, mostly with dozer machines with the tractor portion beyond repair.

To build a dozer from a loader you need the following

- complete dozer assembly with mounts
- dozer hydraulic tank with control valve. You can use the loader valve but not as nice, makes it feel like your running a case or cat without the T handle control
- dozer hydraulic pump as loader pump is too high of flow
- dozer console
- dozer hydraulic lines
- dozer canopy if you don’t have the newer wide style.

We do this as dozers sell fior a lot more than loaders. Done both 450’s and 450’s.
