I've a 197? John Deere 350 crawler/dozer, sn 032888T, to finish clearing my land. I got the service manual, the JD lubes are sorta' expen$ive. Can y'all say what is good grease for the rollers and track adjusting cylinders; and good tractor oil for the xmsn, reverser & hydraulics? Tks . . .

The guy in the back room at my JD dealership tells me to use "corn-head" grease in the track adjusters...whatever that is. I haven't got my machine together enough to need the stuff.

Over the years I have found far more impact from how lubricants are delt with than specific brands. Match the spec on the oil, change it when Deere says you should and keep it clean and the name on the container won't make that much difference. We have bought many used machines, knowing that most never saw a steady supply of 303 oil or its eventual replacement but were well cared for. One area however is an exception in my estimation and that is Deere coolant additive. We have found it should be used always. The blocks and sleaves can become severely pitted, most noteably in the area where the rearmost liner seats in the bottom web of the block. In many cases you won't discover this failure until you have lost enough coolant into the bottom of the engine to do a number on the bearings. Keep the bottom rolls well lubed and do your best to keep out water. Above all keep the machine a tight as you can. 350s' are so easy to overwork they tend to loosen everywhere if not watched. It's sad but true that every time you move any crawler you grind away a little more iron. Good luck!
