Case 340–660 Diesel Common Problems This Manual Covers
Farmall 340 Diesel transmission grinds during gear changes and engine clutch slips under heavy load p. 38
Check the clutch linkage for excessive play. Adjust the mechanism to maintain exactly 1/8 inch clearance between the engine clutch release bearing and the engine clutch release levers. Verify the adjustment matches the specifications on page 38 before starting the tractor.
Manual Section: UntitledIndependent power take-off fails to engage smoothly or slips when running heavy implements p. 57
Turn the adjusting spider to tighten the clutch. Ensure each locking position requires approximately 60 degrees of output shaft rotation as specified on page 57. Verify the breather cap is clean and secure before operating the power take-off under load.
Manual Section: Independent Power Take-OffTractor creeps forward while parked on level ground with the transmission engaged in neutral p. 60
Inspect the anti-creep linkage for binding or loose components. Adjust the control rod clevis to obtain a 1/16-inch dimension from the front edge of the pawl to the quadrant. Review page 60 for proper linkage alignment and test the neutral position.
Manual Section: Independent Power Take-OffTorque amplifier engages harshly or slips completely when pulling ground engagement tools p. 38
Inspect the release levers for bending or excessive wear. Adjust the linkage to keep a 3/16 inch clearance between the torque amplifier clutch release bearing and the levers. Refer to page 38 to ensure proper bearing alignment before field operation.
Manual Section: UntitledFrequently Asked Questions
How to reset the oil filter on a Farmall 340 Diesel tractor?
To service the oil filter on a Farmall 340 Diesel tractor, stop the engine and drain the crankcase oil. Remove the 1/8-inch square head pipe plug from the filter base to ensure complete drainage. Unscrew the filter case bolt, remove the old element, and clean the components with a solvent. Install a new filter element, ensuring all gaskets are in good condition, then refill the crankcase with new oil and check for leaks.
What are the torque specs for the engine bolts on International 340 Diesel Utility?
The cylinder head bolts on the International 340 Diesel Utility should be tightened to a torque of 110 to 120 foot-pounds. This check is necessary after the first 50 hours of engine operation for a new tractor and again after 50 hours if a new cylinder head gasket has been installed.
How to reset hydraulic system on Farmall 340 industrial
To prepare the hydraulic system on a Farmall 340 industrial tractor, start the engine and run it at a moderate idle speed. With the filler plug or cover removed, move the control handle(s) back and forth ten or twelve times through their full range of travel to free trapped air. Then, with the piston retracted, add clean IH Hy-Tran Fluid to the proper level.
How do you fix farmall 340 Diesel transmission grinds during gear changes and engine clutch slips under heavy load?
Check the clutch linkage for excessive play. Adjust the mechanism to maintain exactly 1/8 inch clearance between the engine clutch release bearing and the engine clutch release levers. Verify the adjustment matches the specifications on page 38 before starting the tractor.
