Farmall 340 oil question

KenFarmall340 · Sep 2, 2017

Does anyone know how the rocker shaft gets oiled on a [b:71b6f8a35e]Farmall 340[/b:71b6f8a35e] gas engine?

I don't see a hole next to the stud on the head that matches the hole on the rack mount.

I also noticed the push rods on my tractor are solid and not hollow.[/b]

I believe one of the three rocker shaft bolts is hollow. (center bolt comes to mind) it is connected to a passage that is aligned with a cam journal. The oil pulses into
the upper end as the cam shaft drillings line up with the pressure in the drillings feeding the cam. There is also a cross drilled hole connecting the shank of the bolt
to the inside of the rocker shaft. Jim

It uses a hollow stud on the center mount to deliver oil.
