I had a 1957 international 300U years ago with a lord loader and pippin backhoe next of kin to your 350U. I hope it has power steering really needed with a loader. Mine didn't have power steering and dang near killed me. I did sewer line hookups and loaded trucks with mine. The steering is their weak point and hard to keep front end in line as there was no tie rod just links to both front wheels from the steering box like the old 8&9N fords. I traded it for an Oliver OC-6 crawler. The engines are faultless same as most old Farmalls, and yes Japanese diesel parts are dear. Frank C.
