So I have a JD350 (don t have serial on me, but about a 68 ), with a bad hydraulic reverser, and a GOOD EVERYTHING ELSE! Including winch, 6 way blade, engine, all works GREAT, etc. Was thrilled with it for a few years and we decided we d make it like new when we started tearing down to get to the reverser. Ordered all new steering clutch/brake parts, new tensioner for the one side, tracks, motor, undercarriage all in really good shape, and found/ordered most of the parts for the hydraulic reverser (have a hardcore machine shop guy/mechanic we took it to once we got it out) ..but some of the parts we cannot get/he cannot make and now I don t know what to do with it. Is there anyone out there/here that can fix one? Any rebuilt ones I can get? or do I just need to sell of the dozer in parts/pieces/etc .(REALLY WOULD LIKE IT FIXED). I got it for a great deal when I bought it, but have a feeling the guy knew about the reverser because it was temperamental at first, but we thought it was the steering clutches getting wet that was causing it to not move sometimes and be fine other times .until we drained the reverser s hydraulic fluid and found way to many parts of bearings/metal/etc ..
6 Way blade works great
Motor runs great
already bought several Thousand dollars in new parts to make like new as we rebuilt it .. and Now I m dead in the water and my best friends workshop is half filled up with the dozer in pieces and the new parts and we can t find anything online to either get a rebuilt one/used one/etc .
I m I just dead in the water? Do I just sell it off, or can someone out here help me find a way to get a reverser rebuild oneetc? We ve been looking for more than a year and I just don t know enough about these things and can t find anything online, and Paul hasn t had any luck either.
Let me know what you all think and if I should sell it do I try and sell the major components individually? Winch/6 Way/ROPS/Engine/or should I put back together (seems nuts since you gotta tear it all down again just to get back to reverser) and sell assembled with the new parts, but no working reverser? etc.
It s time to figure it out and either MAKE IT GO or GET IT GONE I guess Sad
Thank you in advance for any help/recommendations you can provide.
Kind regards,
Phil
