Find the master pin, if it's a drive in pin, it should have an indent machined into the center of the pin on each side. A 350 should come out pretty easy, they're small. Put the master pins half way down the sprocket, and take the pad off the link above the master pin. Don't take the pad off the links that the master pin is driven into, or it will just spread the links when you try to drive it out. Once you take the pad off, hit dead square on the end of the master pin with just a sledge until it is flush with the edge of the link (they are usually sticking out a 1/16 or 1/8"). That little bit will get it started moving so much easier before driving it out with the tool such as JDEM suggested, which I call a "pin hammer". Basically an L shaped stout piece of rod, just smaller than the OD of the master pin, maybe 10-12" long, welded onto a handle of sorts, probably 30-36" long. I usually welded the handle about 2" in from the edge of the pin driving portion, so you didn't crack your welds beating on the end of the pin. Then to drive it out, I had an 8 pound sledge with the handle cut off to about 2' long. Hold the pin hammer in one hand, swing with the other hand. A little heat around the ends of the pin bosses where the master pin is driven in will help. Much easier with 2 people, but I took hundreds of tracks off by myself out in the field, as I was the only one that could help myself. Could usually take off a PC400 excavator track by myself using that method, but takes a little more pounding than a 350 dozer track. Oh, watch for chips/flecks of metal from the pin and pin hammer when beating on it, wear your safety glasses! If I had a dollar for every bit that ended up in my arms...

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
