mhudgins · Aug 7, 2013

Friend of mine is trying to sell me his jd 350 dozer
Says the clutch doesn"t work right until it warms up then it fine
He thinks its a valve is this possible or is it going to need replacing

does it have the HI-LO transmission or the straight gear type?

Direction reverser has a filter in the lowest part of the case.. I think I'd drain the oil and change out that reverser filter and try it ..It only holds 9 quarts of oil and make sure you use the correct oil... [ Hydraulic/Transmission].. If it still acts up, It might need overhauling which isn't a cheap repair.. The filler and dipstick is under the air cleaner can..

Might be worn out or might be something simple (if you're lucky).

#1 - pull the floor pan up on the "driver's side" and make sure the valve-arm that is hooked to the clutch pedal is returning all the way. Often when the return spring gets oil and/or there's debris in there- is it blocked from returning all the way.

#2 - try opening up the "rate of shift" adjustable jet with a screwdriver. That can sometimes make a huge difference.
