Hi,I found what is left of a 340U in a wrecking yard.Will the power steering go onto a 300U?are the engines in these tractors the same?
Thanks for the info,Moline

Moline, the box will fit with at least one alteration. The 340 box is beefier & slightly larger than a 300 box. It will intefere with the sediment bowl. This is not a big deal unless you're looking for origonality. You can put the sediment bowl inline. You may also have to do a small amount of grinding for clearance, can't remember exactly where though.

I'm pretty sure no, and definitely no.

The 340 is the next evolution of the 330, which was a new tractor model released during the '50 series (350, 450, etc). Rumor has it that the 330 is a 350U rear end with the 340U engine because the engine was ready but the rest of the tractor was not. It's a physically smaller engine, less horsepower obviously.

I think the 340U has a completely different drivetrain from the 330/350U, derived presumably from the Super C drivetrain, with a TA added and some beefing up. The 350's drivetrain was overkill for the horsepower.

Which is one reason why so many 300U/330U/350Us continue on the job today.....over-engineering....except for the weak-link steering.
