IH T340 Hi-Lift repairs

[olcowhand]

Been working on my T340 again. Rebuilt engine a while back, now new brakes. Bottom track rollers needed rebuilt too. Turns out IH doesn't offer the roller bushings anymore! Neighbor owns a great machine shop & went to visit him. He's gonna line bore all the rollers, then install high grade hardened bronze bushings. He said for costs only, but we always make payment higher than what he asks. We've done many favors for him too over the years, but he has to pay his employees, so we never take advantage of him.

You are really lucky to have a great neighbor like that.

When I get this T340 finished, I might haul it up to Sonny's to make Moose look bad! ....Not!

We are fortunate enough to have a great track shop in Waynesburg Ohio
I believe it is Grouthouse Young. So far all of the work My BIL has sent down they have been able to accommodate them.

Dan!, after you get your tracks fixed,---MOOSE would let you wouk on his tracks!---they are stuck!(kinky) and I cant get them loose!---it had new rails just before I got it!
Not sure if 340 would lift 1 of his tracks!lol!!! thanks; sonny

By the way Dan, You working on any other projects this winter? One of the Guys restored a Bolens Ridemaster I am hoping to see some pictures of it
pretty soon

Not gotten to do a thing. Between building a new hay storage building & dealing with bad sinus for the last 1 1/2 months, that's took all I had. The 340 could piss Moose off easy enough...maybe even lift the top half of track. :-)
