I知 the owner of a JD 350 crawler dozer. I bought it 7 years ago for $6500 and it has done a great many things for me since. The biggest plus for me was having a super winch on the back to skid logs off my land. I have a house now from them and I couldn稚 have done it without this machine. So, needless to say, I知 a tad attached.
This last winter, after having some work done on it in the summer, it got stuck out of gear. I知 from NH and it was cold so I thought something may have frozen up, maybe linkage or something. I tented it were it stood and heated for quite awhile with a good sized heater to no avail. I didn稚 have a lot of time to deal with it so I let it sit till warmer weather. Well, my 3 and 5 year old boys were on it one spring day and they were giving it the usual 菟roduct testing and they got it in gear again! I知 using it still from there fix.
Well, winter is coming again and I知 wondering what I should do. This dozer does our driveway for us but it痴 got to be able to shift. Any ideas out there of what may have been the problem? Lots of water somewhere that it freezing? Linkage, or I guess fork issues? Is any of this doable by me? I know I said I had it worked on but that was a wield job that I didn稚 feel confident on. I致e done any other work myself.
All help appreciated.
