Hi I just (literally 1 hr ago) bought a jd350 loader!

Im in Spain and I paid 3000 euros which seems to be a good deal.

It has a backhoe, a plough and is the power steering model (dunno where to look for the serial #), I have never driven one before but I think the steering is faulty as I can turn left ok but when I turn right it turns only a little or makes nasty clanky noises .... The levers move probably about 10 inches - dunno if thats any help.

On a more basic (read dummy) level is there any way to lock the tracks as
in a handbrake ? Its parked on a slope so I put the shovel down and a
rock under the track.

One track seems "loose" and the other tight - how do you adjust that ?

Anyone know where can I get a service manual from ?

check out a pic at>Link
will>Link slap up a web page when I actually know something about the beast

Cheers

Andy

That's a real good deal. Here in New York State (i.e. USA) a decent 350 loader brings $3500-$6000 without a hoe, probably up around $7000 or $8000 with one if it's good. 350 is a grossly underpowered machine for front loader work, but it makes a great backhoe machine. As far as parking it goes, if it's a clutch drive just put it in gear. If it has a hydraulic reverser - well then you have to use the foot parking brake. There's supposed to be a lock-dog by the foot brake pedal. You push the pedal down, lock it, and if the steering brakes are any good - and adjusted properly - that's the parking brake. If you find that the steering levers don't move freely with the foot brake pedal locked, then the cross-shaft is rusted up. As far as the noise - who knows without hearing it? If it crackles and pops, look for trouble around one of the final drives or rollers. Tracks get loosened by backing out the bolt with the square head on just a bit - and the adjuster grease is supposed to come out a bleed hole. Don't take the bolt all the way out or you'll loose the little check-ball inside. Sometimes it's just easier to remove the track-adjuster grease fitting (usually a button head). Just take it out and let the grease fly. By the way, none of the tracks should be tight, but they should not be real sloppy either. On the tight track, make sure the shock-absorber bolt and spring isn't broken. A large bolt holds a huge spring at a predetermined tension. If the bolt breaks, the track will be ungodly tight and will not loosen no matter what you do (until you fix the broken bolt). I suspect, though, that somebody just got too agessive with the grease gun when pumping up the track tension adjuster.

Thanks for the info !

Well I've been playing around and from what I can deduce:

right lever "brake" doesn't function or very little, tested by running downhill in neutral and pulling the lever

left track drive doesnt function or functions very little and makes the nasty noises - tested by running uphill (pulls to the left) and by pushing against something solid to make tracks slip on the ground.

I'll make an mp3 of the sounds and post it.

It has two plates, one says made in Germany and is under the seat number J4E30 064454L
the other says made in France and is on the "dashboard"
with number E7350 000992 CD

I found the footbrake thanks, now I need to get hold of a manual but as Im in europe jdtechinfo.com wont let me download it.

I was thinking of taking off the top cover under the seat to peep at the clutches - can anyone give me some hints as to what to look for ?

Cheers Andy

serial # is below the seat near the hour meter. Would be behind your leg as you sit in the seat. Nice buy.
