[AT] Tractor visulized

[Mike Sloane]

That sounds pretty good for the money, Tom. The 340 is one of my 
favorite tractors - big enough for some of the tough jobs but not too 
big to deal with. You can see the restoration of mine at 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/farmall_340/>

I don't believe that the 340 had three pumps - there is one pump for the 
optional power steering, the hitch, and the two remotes. If it has a 
separate crankshaft pump for the loader, that's fine. Feel free to 
contact me off-line at <mikesloane at verizon.net>. I am going on vacation 
from Tuesday through Saturday, so if you don't get a response, I am not 
ignoring you.

My only suggestion right now is go to Binder Books <www.binderbooks.com> 
and invest in an Owners, Parts, and service manuals. You might want to 
sign up for the Farmall list on ATIS.
