350C isolator CONVERSION - "C" to "D"

[Stan Disbrow]

Hi,

Working now.

If you want to embed it so it shows up in posts, it needs to be unsecured. I find Photobucket is a good place to host photos so you can have them embedded.

But, clicking on a link to open the photos in a new window works ok too.

Update on this thread. I have flywheels in stock, NOS Deere. Should have hubs back maybe end of next week, and completed kits shortly after that.

Lavoy. I do not suppose that kit will work on a straight 350?

[Lavoy]

Yes it will.

Thank you, i wii be in touch...

Kits are about done, should have availability next week. Kit is $2000, and includes NOS Deere flywheel, pilot bearing, isolator and hub for converting 350, 350B, and 350C crawlers to late style rubber torsional isolators.
In the past, there was a disparaging comment made about what I was providing in these kits and their origin. SO, let me be clear. The flywheel is NOS OEM John Deere. The pilot bearing may be name brand import or USA, depends on who I get them from at that time. The torsional isolator itself is made by the EXACT SAME COMPANY that made them for John Deere when they last had them available, and is Made in USA. The splined hub is CNC machined off of the ORIGINAL John Deere drawing, don't ask where I got it. All machining, splining, and heat treating are done in USA, period. Hubs are treated to 61 Rockwell if anyone cares. The rivets holding the hub in are OEM Deere rivets.
This is a 8 year long ordeal at least, and I really wish I had been able to do them cheaper. But, to control production to the level I have, and all USA and NOS Deere is expensive, and more so in small quantities.

Hi,

Yay! Especially so as I am 350 C and D shopping. $2k sounds costly until one thinks about how much a 350 C or D lawn ornament is worth because it don't move no more because the isolator is casters up....

I got this kit from Lavoy.
Put it in my 350c last spring and have put it through some tuff hours last year and this year. I've had zero problems and I'm glad I spent the time and money on the upgrade.

Hi,

This board does not host photos, so we all have to use some 3rd party hosting service. The 'access denied' is coming from that particular service - I get it as well.

Hey Levoy. That was me over on the JD crawlers tractors Facebook group page asking about these parts. I will let you know if I need them shortly...

[Lavoy]

Sounds good. I have some reverser parts on hand, and can get others.
