IH 340 transmission

I have a forklift that I believe to be based on an IH 340 tractor. The transmission is shot. I would like to find a complete transmission/rear axle assembly to make it useable again. What model tractors could possibly be donors for this project? Anybody have one or know of a good place to check. I'm in Michigan but am willing to travel to get one.
 
No ID plate. I took casting numbers off engine block to local IH dealer and they said it was a 340 engine. Physically looks like the rear end of a 350, 504 etc would bolt up. I'm wondering about interchangeability of the rear section of these tractors.
 
fwiw, be aware that 340 and 504 farm tractors have VERY slow reverses. perhaps a forklift might have different gearing? a 460 probably has different gearing- i haven't driven a 460. i have no idea what rear end will bolt up to your forklift, but i can almost watch my fingernails growing while i'm backing those 2 up. it would be a shame to go to all the work and end up with something unsatisfactory.
