Just read your response to "Smallest w/ 3pt..." and saw the part about "International 340, NOT Farmall 340". Now I'm wondering what I just bought! I got what I THOUGHT was an IH350 Utility, sn 1075 on right side of clutch housing, two weeks ago out in SW Nebraska. Did I get a Farmall or an IH? and what's the difference?It's red with a white grill, kinda rounded like the 300 Utility in the Tractor Shed area of this site. It's gas, not diesel. It has like new (says 16.9 x 28 on the TREAD yet) rear tires. It has a loader on it, integral reservoir with the pump run off a PTO shaft on the FRONT of the tractor. The loader actuator levers are mounted on the right side loader frame. Would this tractor have "live" (independent) rear PTO? It has a "fast hitch" with a vertically mounted hydraulic cylinder behind the left side rear axle (not OVER the axle as some I have seen). The single hydraulic block and lever is located to the right of the seat (can that be added on to?). The farmer says he has a set of 3pt conversion arms that he'll give, and a manual. The reason it's not home yet, is there's an old retired feller out there who's daddy had a Farmall/IH dealership, he grew up around those tractors and now has his dad's old shop, and fixes older tractors for the local farmers. I got a call from the ole boy this A.M., apparently he got it running, is converting it from 6 volt generator system to a 12 volt alternator for me, and is redoing the brakes. Wanted to know if I wanted him to drain and replace all fluids, or whether I wanted to do that myself. Can you identify my tractor from what I have provided here, and give me as much info as you did on that 504? And was $1200 too much for this tractor considering that it need brakes, but has new tires? Thanks in advance for this and other info you have given me on my 560. Glenn H.
