    I bought the JD 310b i posted about yesterday. growling noise seems near rear axle pumpkin, goes away completely when the backhoe stabilizer legs are moving up or down. i see two filler caps, one above the cab floor and one below. the one below looks hard to get to. i only checked the...

    john deere 310b loader/backhoe checkout especially transmiss

    The growling in the rear goes away completely when the backhoe stabilizer legs are moving up or down. Not sure what that means Is it normal that in any low gear the tractor takes off faster backwards than forwards

    john deere 310b loader/backhoe checkout especially transmiss

    Central Texas gets occasional freeze most of the time it's just a few hours I looked at a slightly older one at a dealer they get $8700 and it is like most of what I see in older units all welded up and oviously used a lot. I described all this to them and they thought it sounded like a good...

    john deere 310b loader/backhoe checkout especially transmiss

    Nobody in town had the strips. I put a piece of paper way down in the coolant fill tube and it has a small amount of dark green splotches and a slight brown color to the water. Can barely smell antifreeze I figured the shifting pattern and gears seem to work as expected now that I know...

    john deere 310b loader/backhoe checkout especially transmiss

    good advice. the tach doesn't work so it's possible the hour meter doesn't work either. all of the pins on the loader and backhoe where stuff usually wears are basically perfect, although backhoe controls have just a tiny bit of play in them to where if i were a professional i would start...

    350 utility engine replacement

    I see the flywheel doesn't need a puller so I'll remove If I decide to disassemble the engine what's the best way to clean it? I have seen people post about using power washer but I was worried about using water. I saw people use low odor solvent with air compressor tool that has a hose on...

    350 utility engine replacement

    Good advice. I will post once I get it cleaner. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a waste of time. Once it is clean I will take it inside but there are sometimes mice in the outbuilding so I will still cover it as suggested. Need something to be able to bolt the engine on the...

    350 utility engine replacement

    New topic based on previous posts. My 350u blew a hole in the side while troubleshooting engine noise. Now it's time to replace the engine. I obtained a c175 short block in the picture below that came from an engine that was originally propane and ran some later converted to gas. My...

    Farmall 350u blown engine - should I replace it or junk it?

    I appreciate the information on how you tested I don't have the propane head. I think it's better to start a new post now that I have moved on to replacement. I say this from experience posing for too long

    Farmall 350u blown engine - should I replace it or junk it?

    i got the engine. it has flat top pistons - will that mean more compression or less? (again it was originally propane and i will run it gas) it moves freely and he said it didn't smoke and included the broken clutch to prove that was why the tractor was retired and the rest of the tractor...
