[Farmall] Farmall 340 Loader Question

[Larry Hardesty]

Mike,  Thanks for ideas.  Mine should not be too bad since all the metal was
off when the tractor engine was overhauled about 8 years ago, and most of it
was left off until about 4 or 5 years ago when I got around to putting it
back on.

Larry

Taking those "skirts" off isn't all that big a deal, if the screws 
haven't all rusted. I removed all of what was left of mine, cleaning out 
the threads with a tap and replaced all the screws with new ones that I 
got from MSC <www.mscdirect.com> - they were close to original but not 
exact. I had to locate replacement skirts to fill the gaps. I also put 
Nev-R-Seize on all the threads, so when I have to take it apart again, 
it will be a lot easier. <http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/farmall_340/>
