Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has changed out a straight blade for a hydraulic 6 wayset on a jd 350. Have a complete donor machine with the 6 way blade. Problem i'm having is removing the outside blade brackets that mount to the track frame on the running dozer. After removing the bolts, what am i missing to remove the brackets? Is there any thing else holding them in place? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
350 blade conversion

Got one if the brackets off tonite, it hust needed a little persuasion. Like the persuasion from a 16lb sledge hammer to loosen thing up. Had two large dowel pins that stuck in the side of the track frame. My guess is that this had never been removed since dozer was built, and the dowels were stuck good.

Dozer upgrade
Nice upgrade from an outside mount Dozer.
Consider changing the hydraulic pump as well, I believe the pump for the 6-way Dozer is larger than for the outside mount Dozer machine.
It's going to take a few hours but well worth it. Make sure the Dozer mount (to cross members) are tight. You can take a lot of slop out of the Dozer by doing so.

Good idea on the pump, Hadnt thought about it. As for the mounts i totally agree with you there as well. The 450c was getting worn quite a bit at the mounts replaced a few stripped bolts and a pin, removed a lot of the slop. Thanks again on the pump idea.
