Hi All,
I have a John Deere 350B with a 3-152 diesel engine and have been searching for a camshaft; after just overhauling the engine (sleeves, pistons, head, crank, etc). I have now bought two used cam shafts and they are both for a 3-152 but they turn and function for a clockwise rotating engine. My diesel in the dozer is CCW rotating - looking from the front.
I am told that a CW rotating engine was built after the 1970's for the agricultural applications and all the parts books come up with the wrong shaft. Very frustrating and confusing. The shaft I am searching for has to have a casting number between the lobes for cylinder # 1 and # 2 of T20016. Any and all help appreciated,
