I bought this 350 a couple of years ago. I got it pretty cheap because it needed fixing. I am a Cat guy, never owned a wheel tractor before. It was supposed to run but the wheels were locked up. The gas tank was half full of water but the previous owner had run it on a gallon can. I have been working on it in fits and starts over the last 2 years. I find it pretty hard to work on. As I suspected the brakes were locked up. I took them apart and sure enough. Then I found out the steering box was messed up. I had to do some serious dismantaling to get to it. I found a tooth broken of the gear in there. I fixed it by building up with 7018 rod and grinding. I am putting it back together and I think it might work. I can't get much power assist out of it. I am thinking the screen may be plugged. There is a blown hose on the 2 point so I cant use that to test the hydraulics. When I work the valve oil leaks out but it doesn't really squirt out under pressure. I ran a hose from the test port on the high pressure line back to the tank and get mostly foam and milky oil. I could see it had water in it way back and drained it and filled it with new oil and it turned milky right away so I guess it still has water in it. I recall reading a while back that the filter screen is in the tank in the case under the seat. The seat has been collecting nuts and bolts and bits and pieces for a while. I finally got the seat off today and it looks like quite a job to pull the cover off the tank. It looks like the valve bank has to come off with it, I am not sure how many hard lines I will have to disconnect. Am I on the right track here? I hate to start another job that is going to take a year to get done.
