John Deere 350 Loader
The John Deere 350 Loader is a crawler tractor made from 1965 to 1970. It's a tough machine built for heavy work on farms and construction sites. This tractor moves on tracks instead of wheels, which helps it work well on rough ground. The 350 Loader has a diesel engine made by John Deere. It has 3 cylinders and can produce 46 horsepower. The engine is liquid-cooled and naturally aspirated, which means it doesn't use a turbocharger. The tractor has a gear-type transmission with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. It also has a PTO that spins at 540 rpm, useful for running other farm tools. The tractor weighs 11,570 pounds and is about 12.5 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 6.3 feet tall. This John Deere model has an open operator station, which means no cab to protect from weather. It uses an electric starter and has band-type brakes. The hydraulic system is open center type, common for tractors of its time. With a fuel tank that holds 22 US gallons, the 350 Loader can work for long hours without needing to refuel often.
