Well today I went to Everret F's place and checked out by 350B. He's got her completely torn down, amazing to watch a mechanic who knows what he's doing. Former deere mechanic, tallented guy. In layman's terms here's how it looks. First the isolator disk's splines are worn 50% and, as you can imagine, so is the spider. The springs are loose with slop, therefore, isolator rebuild required. The spider shaft splines over 50% warn, hub is fine, but not shaft, therefore, new spider needed. Clutch packs look very good, little sign of heat. The output shaft's splines are warn, therefore, new output shaft and coupler required. The pistons on the reverser are in ok shape, the metal seals had colapsed some and there was the leak on the forward pack piston. Those seals will need to be replaced. The hydraulic body that slides into the pistons was scored where it seats on the shaft, that will need to be replaced. Of course all the associated gaskets will need to be replaced. Finally, the water pump bearins are tired. The motor is in excellent shape, the tranny is good, the finals are good. Will be worth fixing, but trying hard to find used parts to dull the pain, new parts are coming in at $3300. Any help with used parts is appreciated. Thanks Everet, Ed, demaris and all others who help me regularly. Sincerely,
Joel
