1/21/2024 0 Comments John deere 350 dozer reverserWe got so, with new machines - we heated them red hot until they stretched and got ruined. And - to take the bolts out for the first time with a new machine - again - pretty difficult. Even with that, we had trouble getting them tight. We used special short box-wrenches with a chain hooked to the end. So, with a complete and assembled machine - there not very accessible. We were told by Deere engineers - that at the factory - the bolts got tightened with the trans and reverser out of the frame. They are near impossible to tighten properly. I suspect the main culprit is the bottom two bolts that hold the reverser to the trans. If you have a case with worn dowel holes - fix it or don't use it. They tend to get egg shaped after years of being run loose - and when that happens - the trans and reverser get out of line and the splines get ruined on the shafts where the coupler goes. If you plan on swapping cases - be very careful about the dowels and holes where the trans. We took a few and, with a grinder, reshaped the remaining gear stubs so they could be used a little more. So, after years of shifing while moving and clashing gears - they get worn down to a point where they will no longer stay in gear. That because they use sliding-gear transmission - not constant mesh collar shift. They do not shift well on the fly if equipped with a hydraulic reverser. i am changing that and getting service manuals hopefully soon.Re: John Deere 350C transmission in reply to Alaska Jim, 06-03-2006 15:24:09 this is a 76 with 3000 hours, previous single owner but has been sitting in a yard for about 3 years with no TLC. This is alot of questions so i appreciate your answers and tips in advance. buddy of mine that had another unit, same age, swears by putting iso alchol in all fluids expect for engine oil. when in gear, after moving forward and then put in neutral on reverser dozer will continue to creep forward slightly until i break or floor the clutch pedal, wont creep after that on level ground.ĥ. spring is easy to replace and had floor plates off but now, from previous forum topics, seems this problem might be related to fluids and 'rate of shift' adjustor? does this sound correct? no blockage of linkage -cleared out leaves, stick, dead mice etc.Ĥ. gears will not shift without grinding and cluch petal is real soft without much resistance. Ran fuel out of feed for a few minutes when filter was off. Has been below freezing in Maine for awhile). deisel was running rough and lost power when pushing so replaced fuel filter (sump drain in fuel tank clogged or frozen. After working on it and warming up and running tranny fluid was seem leaking from left side of tranny where clutch pedal enters housing. A related problem? I filled reverser with new oil to proper level. In checking fluids initially, reverser was bone dry and milky looking, transmission was over filled and milky. therefore it is all a hydraulic system, i think from reading in this forum. my unit has a reverser so no dry clutch for tranny. it is new to me and i spent the last weekend getting very familar with the unit with just the operators manual and a lot of grease. In numerous posts you guys seem to be very experienced with the 350. I am new to this forum and just getting familar on how to post this publicly.
