350 diesel

tntleake · Jan 1, 2012

I have located a 350 diesel T/A fast hitch for sale.
I have an LP tractor was wondering how many diesels were produced.
My understanding is only 192 factory LPs were produced
If the diesels were that low in production numbers, I think I want it. Comes with implements

I don't know the exact numbers, but 350 row-crop diesels are not extremely rare. There's not exactly one on every corner, either.

Something like a 350 D Wheatland or a Hi-utility would be more rare.

The engine certainly wasn't overpowed, and the Continental engine isn't the easiest to find parts for. What parts are available are pricey compared to a gas engine. The preheater system usually needs attention. The crankshafts were a bit on the weak side. Water pump has an lighter (aluminum?) plate that mates to a cast housing, the lighter piece tends to be warped and seeps water on many of these tractors.

The one pictured looks like a straight tractor and has some options if you really want one. Some extra goodies are there to go with it, too.

Yes there is a plow, I haven't seen it yet. It is for sale in Albq, all for 1800.00 OBO. I will be there next week to see it 1st hand, I'm told the injection pump is not working.

compression & fuel injection system need to be up to snuff. a block heater is nice . a good machine shop can make a water pump hub/ housing out of steel . have engine balanced they vibrate

There was one on the South Dakota ranch I worked on in the summer of '64. I liked running it because it ran really smooth, but it seemed unde-powered for a 350. We used it mostly with the loader and a Farmhand bale handler that picked up the 8 bales dropped by an accumulator on the baler. Loaded them on a trailer that held about 240 bales, hauled them to where they were stacked and unloaded and stacked them with the loader. I seemed to get the loader job most of the time for some reason, so with 400 acres of irrigated alfalfa, I put in a few hours on it.
Although it ran good, it was nicknamed "the gutless wonder" around the ranch. We didn't plow or disk with it, but did pull a 4 row planter.
$1800 for the tractor and implements, even with a bad pump, sounds worth it to me.

I bought this 350D in September. Paid $1200 for it. It had sat outside for 7 years. I had do go through the injection pump, starter, water pump and replace all the rubber fuel lines with new ULSD resistant hoses. I also will have to repair the radiator. It also needs rear tires. The T/A works great. It has a three point hitch. I've used this tractor for seeding and rolling and some light chores. I really like it. The Roosa Master pump is simple and you can repair it yourself. I did all the work my self so the actual cost was not much at all. $1800 for everything you list sounds good.
