Very good. I probably won't rebuild my 350 adjuster myself but this was very helpful in understanding how it works.

thinking the job thru, not just doing the job [as in not fighting rounded bolt heads] reminds me of how you fell trees, intermittently standing back and re-evaluating! preserve self, money and time! good vid.

Maybe you could try air to push that piston out and save your grease for adjusting the tracks. You might have to rig up some pipe and a small valve to do it safely, but I think it will work. I've done it with lift cylinders on a Cat 988 A.

not a bad idea, but one thing to be careful with that idea is that since air is compressible, it can rocket a piston out of it's bore. grease or oil would not do that. Either way, i scooped out the grease and re-loaded my grease gun with it! Thanks for watching!
@ralfie8801

themadmailler That's why you need a small valve so you can control the volume of air you put in it, or use a blow gun with a rubber tip, then you can shoot some air to it and then pull the rubber tip away from the hole which would then bleed the air out of the cylinder and stop the piston movement.

Looks like kind of like a neoprene seal. Put it in some boiling water and soften up to seal. It will go on a lot better.

I have just machined new adjuster shafts for the family farm's JD 350-C. I'm a machinist so it was easier to order new hard Chrome shaft and whip up a new pair vs buying parts. I made up the tapered cone and fitted the seals using the lathe. It was nice to have but still one tough seal! Link to an album below. My grandfather bought the dozer new in 1978 and we are just fitting its first set of new chains/rollers/sprockets. Not bad for 40 years of farm work. photos.app.goo.gl/5uPRJScqhU2hd5ht5

I just bought a 350B and have no experience working on heavy equipment or any equipment for that matter ... I really am learning from you and would love to hire you as a consultant (if possible). Do you have to break the track to do this job? My left adjuster has a 2" piece of angle over the shaft to hold tension on the track.It goes from the back of the shaft housing and the center support/roller. I have not tried to use grease to keep tension and remove the angle yet because I am afraid that it might make the machine inoperable. I bought it as more of a toy than for doing work and would like to replace all the worn out parts giving it a fresh lease on life.
@themadmailler

Most likely, that angle iron is there for a reason. If the track is at a good tension, leave it alone. A lot of old equipment has half ass repairs for a reason. In this case, it is because you need to break the track to fix the tensioner. It's not a horrible job, but if you don't rely on the machine to make money, I'd leave it as it is until it becomes a problem.

I'm not sure, I don't think so. I guess it can't hurt to try, worst case, you'll have to break the track anyway.

I have the same dozer. My track tensioner is seized. When I try to pump out, grease comes out of a relief hole opposite side to the intake. I’m thinking about welding shut the relief hole. Any ideas?
@themadmailler
4 жыл бұрын
If you weld that hole shut you'll never be able to relieve the grease to loosen the track. What is likely happening is that the ball is not sealing at the bottom of it's hole. The bolt that holds the ball down may be too short or the ball may not be there.
