No blower shaft on my 353. Probably something else broke in the timing gears. Haven't got the motor out to look yet.

it must have a blower shaft, easy to change in skidder


they wipe out the splines often

 

[jrcat]

Those blowers are prone to freeze breakage to then the next time you go to start it the shaft breaks. A buddy of mine has a pile of broken blower housings and shafts.

The first pic must be a deere. The last one is either a 380 or 450 jack I think.

I was talking with a fellow logger who is using a S10 grapple skidder every day. My great uncle who I work for started out with a S7 he bought as a basket case and rebuilt it in the early '70's. The 'ol gal is long gone unfortunatley

always wanted a s10 grapple, they are strong tractors, thinking of mounting a jd grapple &arch to the back a my s8. make a small powerfull grapple skidder out of her. no more worrying with that gearmatic.
