Are JD 350 rails supposed to have a step on the outside?

Thanks,

Thanks allot,
It is great to have a source of information before I make a bad choice.

This JD 350 has the clutch stuck, will not disengage. It seems to me, the easiest way to get to the clutch would have been to pull the motor, but the previous owner started to unbolt the rear differential and the gear box directly in front of it. Unfortunately, he also broke off some of the bolts, so this part of the job will have to be finished.

Can you even get to the clutch by removing the drive train behind the motor?

Do you have to remove the tracks to get the differential out?

Thanks,
Al

I don't know if it has a reverser, the guy selling it didn't say, how would I tell?

But I don't think it does.

He said the clutch is stuck, it won't disengage, but he can start it in first gear, and the drive clutches seem to work, because I saw it turn both ways, then he shut off the engine, put it in reverse, and started again to back up.

Any info is appreciated.

Can anyone answer this:?

It runs good, and the pins have been turned, I THINK the UC looks pretty good, I am obviously no expert. The tracks do seem a bit loose.

So its a JD 350 manual angle and tilt blade dozer serial #T4F1C 0942511 3 cyl gas. Some of the bolts holding the front of the differential to the gearbox are broken, and the clutch is stuck.

Will be allot of work to fix, any rough ideas of how much $$ its worth?

Thanks,

I basically agree with you, but consider this.
I own about 42 acres, and only want the dozer to work on building a road and a homesite for myself. I know the manual blade and lack of reverser are negatives, but I won't be making a career out of running this machine. It is tough to find anything decent here in Ohio for under $8000, and this machine is now less than 1/2 that, but it will have to come down more.

The problem with your method of breaking the clutch loose, is the fact that the differential is no longer bolted to the gearbox in front of it (transmission I assume), and that box is also unbolted from the unit in front of it(which must be another gearbox?). Some bolts are broken off, so this must be repaired before putting any heavy strain on the machine.

Thanks again for the good advice!
