    340B Power Steering T

    I think the reason my Power steering T get loose is the hoses were zip tied together at some point & it seems if any sharp turns are made the hoses moving back & forth loosen the T is my theory:)

    '87 340B(w/loader) Starting Intermittent?

    I installed the starter today & I have used the painter's tape trick before as well. I have owned the '87 340B for 11 years & it has never started this easy ! It had started dragging like a bad battery in February & I bought a new battery to no avail. Maybe it's phycological ,but the original...

I have a new battery & yesterday after a no start condition, my buddy tried to jump the starter straight from the battery & it turned over. So he had to go & I...

    340B Loader Seals

    I always thought it was the hose fittings leaking until he pointed it out it was the seals .Fluid just runs down on the hoses,loader works fine,I have to add fluid sometimes, but it always works.

    340B Loader Seals

    Thanks guys,I do have a burn barrel to sit the bucket on, it appears only the boom seals are leaking.He told me you take the rods out to replace the seals,I am assuming some type of spanner wrench of some sort to remove the rods?

    Ford 3415 wiring

    Is there a starter solenoid like most vehicles or is that what you are calling the relay?Also on my 340b the neutral safety switch is bad I have it jumpered for now.Just have to make sure its in neutral before starting.

    Ford 340B Oil pressure Light at Idle?

    My 340B Oil light comes on at idle after I cut a few a few acres.It seems to be rpm related because it turns off as soon as I accelerate. the belt was loose ,now tight,seems to happen less often.I am embarrassed to say I have never flushed out the cooling system in the 10 years I have owned it 🙄...

    340B Power Steering T

    Yes the nuts for #12/13 are on the bottom of #16,#12 & #13 have hoses connected to them above #16,Like I said I never tightened anything above #16 until today.It looks a little different on the tractor than what is shown in the diagram,maybe just mine or a previous repair;)
