[Farmall] Farmall 340

[Ron Cook]

Stan,
    Thanks for all that good info.  I was shopping for an H or SH when I 
found this little thing.  It won't need to lug much.  It will only be 
running a grain auger with the pto.

If it's gas, it'll have the C135 which bumped up the bore (3-1/8" vs 3-1/4") and stroke (4" vs 4-1/16") of the 230/240 motor yet still has wet(replaceable) sleeves. The last rendition of that motor was the C153 in a 504 which bumped bore to 3-3/8" (but no longer replaceable sleeves) and stroke went to 4-1/4". It should be a real handy utility/chore tractor with more beef that the lighter SC/200 line, but don't expect it to lug like a SH/300/350 would. Engine parts should be common between the 330/340 C135's but the C135 in a 404 is a whole 'nuther beast with fairly little in common.
