Good Morning All!

I have been pondering the idea of buying a Farmall 340 with a belly mower. I have about six hours a week of mowing to do, and wanted to try to take the load off of the 782. I am a bit of a 560 diesel nut as I have two, one with a turbo and I thought a 340 would fit right in. I know very little about the 340's. Did they use a rare engine, gas and diesel, and can I still get parts. What are your thoughts. I can live with a gas, but would prefer a diesel. That is just me being over picky I guess.

Have a good rest of the day. It is raining here in Central IA. A much needed break from combining. The 1480 could use a rest. The elevators are closing early as they have been recieving over 140,000 bu of corn a day.

Thanks

David

Finding one here in IOWA wont be easy. A DIESEL one will be harder as not that many made. Worked on one a couple yrs ago tricycle front with 6ft woods. nice machine going to sand blast another one soon for restoration project.

If you want it I would buy it. Sounds like a very good corn crop this year in IA. We should trade that to the Saudi's for 140,000 barrels of oil. Bet they never ate good corn bread and they can't eat that oil. Hal

That 340 is a beauty tractor. Neighbor has one that I'd love to have. I'm pretty sure that there is nothing special about the engine and related equipment on the 340. Parts should be readily available. One thing he does not like about it is that it does not have live PTO. I could hardly believe that IH STILL did not have that in that era. He has a belly mower and a tiller.

Jay, IH did have independent pto at that time. IPTO was introduced on them in'55. Although all of them didn't have it. Looked at a '60 model 340 today with it.
