I know it's not listed on here but does anyone know where I can get used parts for a Ford 340? I need a steering box and probably some other parts.
 
Which style steering box does that use,
the single arm or the double arm type?
340 is the industrial version of 4600 I
have been told, I have a 4400 parts
machine with a good steering box if it
would work for you
 
I have a single arm one, not power steering, it originally had the industrial front axle which had the cylinder and sensing valve within it, not sure how yours is setup. What's wrong with your box just wore out?
 
What's wrong with your steering that you think you need a different steering box?

I took the single arm power steering column off and all apart from my 1979 340 tractor last year only to find there was nothing wrong with it. I had no power steering, and since my tractor has a history of blowing the gasket under to peanut shaped cover on the right, I was convinced there was something wrong in the steering box. It's a huge PITA to get that steering box out of the tractor and all apart, but as the tractor steers really hard with that loader on it and no power assist, I figured I had no choice. At the same time I also disassembled and put new O rings in the power steering pump, although I didn't see anything obviously wrong there either. Put the thing all back together and STILL had no power steering! Finally I disconnected the power steering line from the pump and cranked the tractor over, making sure to stay out of the way of any steering fluid that might squirt out. That's when I found the problem, no output from the pump! Did a search to find the Ford part number for the pump, then searched for that number on Google, found an aftermarket pump for like 1/3 the price of the OEM. Ordered it up and installed it, power steering works fine now. Still blows the gasket on the steering box like once a year, but that's because the cover plate isn't flat, and I haven't forced myself to pay the $300 for a new plate yet. I can change the gasket annually for awhile!
