I would say first, if you don't already, get yourself a service manual, and go through the steering clutch/brake adjustments for the final drive, and make sure they are set up correctly. Sounds to me you have one of your steering clutches going south. My 350B did this also, and it turned out that the right side clutch pack needed replaced and a new pressure plate. The adjsutment would be a good place to start. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable on this site will chime in later with more help for you. Good Luck.

You can still get manuals (operators, parts, and service) from Deere- it sounds like your local dealer just doesn't know where to look. You may want to inform your dealer that somehow you can still find manuals from Deere on the Deere website.

Go to this website and search for "350B" in the keyword search on the top left side of the web page.

All three are still available and can be obtained in hardcopy, CD or DVD, or download. You can also find these manuals periodically on Ebay.

Hope this helps.
