[Farmall] Looking for 340 parts

[Larry L Hardesty]

Assuming no major problems, the 340 brakes are the usual IH disc brakes. 
It is not hard to replace the disc brakes.  Some guys will rough up the 
steel with sand paper that the disc contacts with, but I don't if it helps 
all that much or even is a good idea.   The brake job is certainly a do it 
yourself job if the only problem is worn pads.    The return spring might 
still be available from Case-IH or you might try the local hardware store 
for something that works.  I have a parts manual for the 340 but my 
computer at home is not working.  The parts manuals come up on eBay 
occasionally and certainly are help in search for parts in contact the 
various salvage yards on the internet or even working the the local 
Case-IH parts guys.

Good luck.

Larry

[Farmall] Looking for 340 parts






I just got my 340 home Saturday night (with zero problems even using 
an old truck and "following the sun" to get home). It looks pretty good 
(recent repaint) but on closer inspection, needs some TLC. 

The parking brake latch was frozen (now working) but the brakes 
hardly work themselves. Is a brake job difficult or costly? I also 
noticed that the left footrest was bent and looking closely I found the 
rear bracket was bent, the clutch pedal was rewelded and bent and 
the front bracket was bent and broken. I sourced a clutch pedal, think 
I can straighten the rear bracket but need the front bracket and return 
spring. Are there any other models (240? 330? 460?) that have the 
same footrest arrangement and might have the parts I need (if 
someone out there can't put me in touch with the parts)? 

Thanks for all the great info and help thus far...
