    ANSWER: Can track pads be saw-cut?

    This message is a reply to an archived post by Bob Doss on September 06, 2011 at 15:17:49. The original subject was "Can track pads be sawcut?". Some years ago, I posted this question, but my original post has been archived. I decided to record my results here in case anyone else has the same...

    Transmission fluid blow-out??

    I just bought my second JD350. The transmisison took several quarts of JD 303 fluid to bring it to the FULL mark on the dipstick. When I moved it for the first time, a lot of fluid was blown out on the ground. The dipstick now comes out dry. Any ideas, especially any that don't require a major...

    Prices

    What's a fair price for 3 7/8 high dome pistons rods and sleeves. All have less than 30 hrs. on them in great shape. Also have a 6 button 11 in clutch disc in great shape. Stock starter just freshly rebuilt and these parts are for an 88.

    Need help identifying my injection pump

    I'm planning to repair my pump the way LJD recommends, and will post any useful info I learn along the way. It just started snowing here, though, so I don't know when I'll be able to work on it. Meanwhile, for others following this thread I found a source for the Bristol wrench at...

    Need help identifying my injection pump

    YAYYYYY! Welcome back! (you probably never left, but some people thought you did). The link still works -- I just downloaded the manual successfully. My goal is NOT necessarily to rebuild the entire pump, but just do the minimum work that makes good sense. 1. Since I'm going to disassemble...

    Need help identifying my injection pump

    LJD, Sounds like you've picked up the "pump shops charge too much" banner from jdemaris (:>) I have the skills, but can't find a manual. Do you (or anyone else) know where to find the manual? (preferably a free download, but I don't mind paying a reasonable price if I have to).

    Need help identifying my injection pump

    Thanks, but can you say for sure whether it's a JDB series? As I understand it, the JDB series is newer, and therefore rebuildable. If it's NOT a JDB, then the rebuild parts are no longer available, and my pump is junk. (My understanding may be wrong, but I think I got it from other postings...

    Need help identifying my injection pump

    The attached pictures are the injection pump on my JD350. According to jdparts.com, it SHOULD be a John Deere AR69817 (Roosa-Master JDB331AL2732). The id plate is missing, so I can't be sure what pump I really have. It has the "mouse turds" in it that jdemaris describes in other postings, so...

    Can track pads be saw-cut?

    Understood, but I use the machine more like a dozer than a loader. I mostly use it to maintain logging roads on my land. I scrape, push and back-drag, and don't do all that much sharp turning.

    Can track pads be saw-cut?

    Thanks to all of you for the suggestion -- roughly what should I expect to pay a welder to cut these off? Less than $200? More than $200?

    Remove a link to shorten the chain??

    This is how I solved my problem. I added 1" thick shims and replaced the bolts with longer ones. That pushed the cylinders 1" farther onto the pistons, which seems to be enough to do the job.

    Can track pads be saw-cut?

    I replaced the 12" street tracks on my JD350 loader with some 14" grouser tracks from a dozer. Now the grouser pads hang on the loader's frame, causing the packing in the track adjusters to blow out. If practical, I'd like to pull the 14" grouser pads off their chains and have someone cut them...

    Remove a link to shorten the chain??

    The track adjusters on my JD350 are almost fully extended, to the point that they buckle upward at the point where the piston emerges from the cylinder. There is about 1.5" of rail in front of the idler axle bracket. After I pump up the track adjusters, I can only run for a short time before...

    JD 350 Steering Linkage Question

    I got lucky -- the linkage isn't broken after all. I adjusted the big yoke on the outside of the inspection box to lengthen that part of the linkage by about 3/8". That caused the shaft to rotate a few more degrees, which in turn allowed the brake adjuster screw to contact the boss squarely...

    JD 350 Steering Linkage Question

    My JD350 loader has never turned right very well, despite lots of adjusting. When I pull back on the lever, the 5/16" adjusting screw doesn"t hit the boss squarely, and has bent and slipped past the boss several times. Recently I looked closer, and the shaft doesn"t appear to rotate AT ALL when...
