don't want to break it (351)

kenbob · Oct 22, 2018

I tried to remove one of the transmission breathers on my 351 when I worked on it last. I thought maybe it was friction fit like the valve cover
breather. It did not budge. Read 3 different manuals all saying to remove them and clean them, but not one of them says if they pull off, or screwed
in, or held in place by that little screw on the top. If the tractor wasn't 60 years old i would take a chance on figuring it out (by force if
necessary). Sorry for the rather simple question but I don't want to break anything.

Don't have a 350, but on my 30 series tractors they screw on.

Thanks for the tip. If one of those is a 430 or 530 it would be the same. The drawings in the manuals for my tractor look like they show threads but everything is so small it is impossible to tell. I will try unscrewing them. My first instinct was they pull off as they look so much like valve cover breathers. That didn't work at all. So figured it was safest to ask and try again later.
