    Best Vintage'ish Tractor for Small Ranch, $10k Budget

    My buddy and I are in need of a tractor for a small ranch in the Fredericksburg, Texas, area. He has an 8N right now; that's ok for pulling a bush hog, but that's about it. It would be used for all sorts of stuff - pulling a bush hog, moving dirt (i.e., needs a bucket), unloading building...

    Broken Crossmember to Reverser Bolt - John Deere 350 Dozer - How to Fix?

    I'm thinking I can use the snapped off bolt to make a pilot and then go from there. thanks

    Broken Crossmember to Reverser Bolt - John Deere 350 Dozer - How to Fix?

    I do have some CRC Freeze-Off. I generally use Kroil, but I can see how the freeze-off might be helpful here. thanks

    Broken Crossmember to Reverser Bolt - John Deere 350 Dozer - How to Fix?

    Yes, a very long drill bit would clear, but I'm not likely to find something large enough in a left hand drill bit. I'm sure I could with a right hand drill bit, but once I drill the hole, I've still got to get the remainder of the bolt out and I'm not a big fan of easy outs.

    Broken Crossmember to Reverser Bolt - John Deere 350 Dozer - How to Fix?

    I got underneath my '67 350 Straight and I was making sure all of the larger nuts and bolts were tight and I snapped a 5/8" bolt that secures the reverser to the crossmember on the right side. It's a grade 8 bolt and didn't put much pressure on it at all, so it must have been compromised and/or...

    Dealer says the kit is no longer available. Same with the individual parts. If anyone has a used handle or parts, please let me know.

    John Deere 350 Straight - My Emotional Support Bulldozer...

    Thanks for the input. Any idea how much a new one 6 way control sells for? Scott Thanks for checking on that! I need to stop by my dealer this morning to pick up a few more gallons of Hy-Gard. I'll see if I can get a price on that. Thanks again, Scott

    John Deere 350 Straight - My Emotional Support Bulldozer...

    So, the dozer has several issues that need to be addressed. First, it would die after running for a few minutes, but if you waited, you could start it back up. Second, the track tensioner on the left side is stuck fully extended and won't release. Third, the clutch pedal return spring is broken...

    John Deere 350 Straight - My Emotional Support Bulldozer...

    I have had some trials and tribulations (read: fiascoes) in my attempt to find a reasonably priced dozer here in Texas. I looked at a lot of junk, turned wrenches on several machines, and even ended up with a running and operating 20 ton Cat that I got for free (and it was worth exactly what I...

    Cornhead grease/oil

    I have the operators manual; skimmed it, but need to read throughly. I'll get some grade 0 cornhead grease. I have the special (read: $$$) Alemite low pressure grease gun on the way, along with a button head adapter. I'm going with Hy Gard/J20C for the hydraulics, reverser, and transmission...

    Cornhead grease/oil

    There are two flavors of cornhead grease from JD - grade 0 and grade 00. I'm in Texas; I'm thinking I need grade 0 (thicker) for my John Deere 350 Straight dozer rollers. Any thoughts? Thanks, Scott
