JD 350 steering clutch disks order
wow 24 hours later and sprockets on but still not finished seals were leaking so ended up stripping them down and installing new seals, luckily I had accidentally bought them. So now 2 rollers need repairing and then hopefully I get to drive the machine and turn and stop etc. I am truly amazed at the poor workmanship of the previous mechanic, there were parts missing and just generally sloppy work all over the place. So much for famous just needs break band words.
JD350, to the rescue
my thinking exactly, do the job correctly the first time and do regular maintenance and then never have break downs. A tightened screw can save thousands of $ if tightened in time, or cost thousands of $ if left to fall out and cause a breakage.
The only issue is all this time when cattle are due to arrive, nerve racking.

First day out today, threw right track after 10 minutes getting to know her, got it back on using bicycle chain method. Pumped more grease in. Then later threw left track. This time not in a happy place, swamp and mud buried sprocket. Once again bicycle chain trick and more grease, now paranoid about tightness stop every few minutes to pump in more grease. I guess there might have been air bubbles in the grease???
On a good note turns sharply left and right, like a Bobcat only better.

The manual calls it the relieve tension bolt, it is next to the zerg.
I got her buried in swamp yesterday and yanked out with a huge tractor this a.m. she has never moved so fast in her life.
The cause of her getting stuck was that the right break went from being well set and working well to suddenly it would not turn right. I had to pull the lever to the rear while at the same time putting my foot on the foot break to get any type of turning.
Well in the swamp that caused her to dig through the roots and sink.
Any ideas as to why the break would stop working so soon after rebuild?
She spent the night in water ass end down, should I be pulling plugs and checking if water got in?
If it did what do I do, she is still out in the pasture. I left her as soon as she was unstuck.

I havern't looked at a 350 specifically but it should be a normal hex head bolt that is removed to allow grease to be forced out when the tensioner is compressed.rodger wrote: The manual calls it the relieve tension bolt, it is next to the zerg.
I would definitely pull the plugs as soon as possible to let any retained water out. You will also want to run the machine for a while to dry out the housing and moisutre on the discs. If you let it sit too long it will cause the metal discs to rust and the fiber discs to swell which will cause the steerling clutch to cease functioning.rodger wrote: She spent the night in water ass end down, should I be pulling plugs and checking if water got in?
