New to the crawler world
This was also a good thread for someone else that was in the same predicament as you; if you look closely it also has some embedded links with additional info about import crawlers:

Keep in mind there are some differences between 350s and 450s so can't use the 450 information to make conclusions about the 350.

I believe the "L" in the number means it was assembled in the Mannheim Works in Germany (formerly the Lanz works, hence the "L").
I lifted that from one of the other posts but that (along with the 350AA) is a pretty good indicator you have an import crawler. I don't believe there has been as many 350 import crawlers mentioned on this site as the 450 import crawlers.

If the aux hyd lever you are mentioning goes to the two hoses out the back that are shown in the pic, then I question if you have a hoe crawler. A hoe crawler would have two 1" or better hyd hoses with two large hyd couplers on them out the back to run the hoe valve. Not sure if the 350 used a diverter valve or not like the earlier crawlers.

Hi Nick- those lines on yours appear smaller than those on a typical hoe crawler. Although I am not real familiar with 350s, your hose setup does look different than the one on my hoe crawler. I think I have some photos of mine linked on this site and will look to see if I can show you.NickMartin wrote:It does have the large lines out the back I think you are talking about. See the pic on the first page.
