350 after some changes

[gt4074]

I bought this 350 about 1 1/2 years ago to some work around my property but I couldn't just leave it alone. Here is a picture of it when delivered.



I then found a 6-way power blade assembly from a dozer someone was scrapping the angle cylinders had holes rubbed through. I am guessing the spacers were not on the dozer it came off of.



I rebuilt these with parts from Bailey's. I also remade parts for the tilt movement. I made a version with bolt on plates the facilitate easy replacement. This a picture of what I burned off.



And here is the assembly before welding



And finally a picture of how it sits today. I still need to paint the canopy it just has primer.

Nice job on repair and additions. I wish I had power angle and tilt on my 440IC, its a pain getting off and on every time I want to change the angle.
I am going to add a ROPS and scarifer to mine in the next few months. I will post pictures of my progress.

Now you and I need some snow in Pennsylvania so we can have some fun with them.

Before I found the used blade I worked on my own design to utilize my existing manual blade and converting it. The design is about 80% done. Here is a screen dump of it.

wow,you did alot of work on that little guy,looks awesome.
you are much better off giving a 350 some tlc to bring it back than to go out and buy a new machine for $ 60,000 - 80,000.
that crawler will earn it's keep for years to come.

That's awesome, I like how a lot of people here are so handy with fixing things that 90% of people would say screw it and throw it away and spend an ungodly amount of money on something new.
