The brakes on my Gasoline Farmall 340 are too small. It has the same brake assembly as the Super C. When properly adjusted, they�re under rated, and they wear out too fast. The diesel 340 uses the same disks as are used on the 460, which is a much larger tractor. The brake drum assembly on the diesel 340 is an inch or two larger in diameter than that on the gas 340.
Can I make an easy conversion? Can the inner and outer brake covers be removed from my tractor, and simply be replaced with the larger inner and outer brake covers from a diesel 340, or will I need to replace the third piece in that cluster which holds the bearing for the differential? Are the splineshafts, which hold the brake disks the same on both tractors, so the larger brake disks will fit properly on my tractor, after it is fitted with the larger housing?
Has anyone else ever made this conversion, or got a better way to improve the brakes I have?
