74 case 350 crawler loader resortation

[hvguy]

What I did was apply light pressure until it wanted to turn, then I let er have it. I was pushing a log with the side of the bucket trying to turn. I was really asking to throw the track.

My case 450 will pop a track if it am not carefully when turning on hard packed ground or on rocks. I normally can hear it starting to jump off roller on bottom before it get set up to fall off. i make wider easier turns and keep them pumped up

My 350 will make noises before the track jumps off, usually best to stop and change directions, fix the problem, usually an unseen stump or a stick working its way in there.

And just like that, shes gone.

I still have some video I made when I was out. Ill try and piece it together when I get a chance.

I appreciate everyone's help!

A guy bought it to dig a pond and to keep it as a toy.

Well darn it. Don't forget to start looking and go buy another machine. We all need more toys. And entertainment.

 

[thepumpguysc]

That was a great, entertaining, and informative thread.. keep'um coming..

 

[d9gdon]

Yeah, there's a Ritchie Bros sale coming up just down the road from you on Hwy 59. They always have something that needs some attention.

I've got my eye on 2 small excavators. But, I'll probably goto the Richie bros auction first. Never know what's there.

Picked up a cat 277b skid steer. Needs a track and possibly some injector pump work. I'll start a new thread about it when I dig into it.

 

[thepumpguysc]

ALRIGHT!! Time to get a full bowl of chips and a cold drink & settle in.. this should be good..
Lots of knuckle bustin about to happen.. I'd rather sandpaper a pole cats ass in a phone booth, than work on a skid steer..
Let me know when you start on the inj. pump.. you HAVE TO time it before removing it, if its a VE pump.. or you'll spend DAYS trying to figure out why it wont run.. Believe me, you don't want to take it off & put it back on more than once..

 

[hvguy]

Lol it looks like a p7100 off my 12 valve, and nothing is easy the first time. And to be honest, that pump isn't coming off until it doesn't run.

It just needs hydraulic lift cylinders re packed, new seat, and a track

 

[thepumpguysc]

an inline?? wow.. I don't think I've seen one stuffed in a skid.. just VE's and PFR's..
Snap a pic when you get that far..

Better order 2 tracks or it wont run straight like the loader.

One track was replaced by the reseller, however the lugs are cracked and about to break off, looks like its hitting a square tube in the front like it was adjusted wrong.

Ill snap a pic here in a minute, looks like the engine is a cat 3044C DIT engine from mitsubishi.

 

[hvguy]

oh no... it is a VE fml

here is the new thread, https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/06-cat-277b-restoration.65388/

Ill post the video I made with the 350 one day when I stitch it all together. Problem is I just bought this loader and a new KTM 300xcw enduro, so its pretty low on the priority list lol
