ok so im going to start my research now on my next tractor i dont want anything super big but i want it to be able to handle a brush hog and a bailer if needed and i think i want one of three tractors 1 is the farmall 300 which i like becuase i already have an H and its just like it but stronger live hydros and live pto i think the 350 which is stronger then the 300 i think live hydros and pto and i love the cream color so im leaning twords the end 2 tractors. Then theres their bigger brother the 460 which i really like becuase it is a good sized tractor and i really love the color scheme and its a 6cylinder? right? i love how its got a boxer sheetmetal type and i think they look really good when painted right.

i hear bad things about the 300 and the 460 and this is where i need your advise i hear the 300 ta had a weaker design then a 350 is this true? mayby just a conicidence becuase the guy that i talked to has had the 300 and 350 and said the 350 lasted longer and is still in use with the orignal ta today where they sold the 300 after the first 2 TA's
user error?
and then the 460 i hear problems with the head and the transmission im going to keep the bore stock what is the problem with the head? can it be avoided? thanks for your input guys your verry helpful

Most of the 300 and 350 farmall tractors use 95% of the same parts. Most 300 engines you find are rebuilt with piston and sleeve sets to the 350 size. More 350 tractors probably came with extras like spin out wheels,heavy axles,fast hitch with traction control,power steering than 300. On the T/A the first 500,300 used a wider rear carrier bearing without a thrust washer in the T/A unit,after that a narrower bearing with thrust washer. Up to serial # 26254 non crome plated rollers were used after that crome plated with a different ramp, same as 350. Most of those T/A are long gone,replaced. If its a gas tractor your looking for some 350 were original 12 volt. My opinion on a farmall 460 is you may as well get a 560. A updated 560 drive train is stronger in a near same size tractor.

The guts of all the mechanical TA's are the same. The differences between some models is limited to the output shaft, rear bearing, bearing cage, and seal. There is no difference between a 300 and 350 TA.

I took a NOS TA labeled for a 330 and swapped out those parts for the old SMTA parts and it works fine in the bigger tractor. The TA doesn't care if it is installed in a 30hp or 80hp tractor provided both tractors are driven by the same operator.

I can't speak of how it operates, but just on looks I prefer the 350, or the bigger 450. 460 looks too boxy to me. Not as pleasing to the eye... which I'm sure is at the top of your consideration. third party image

All three are good tractors, what you are hearing is mostly rumors. The TA's last a long time if used properly. I have not heard about the head problem on the 460. I have one, and had new valves, etc put in, it was not cracked. The 460/560 did suffer from a "weak" rear end. Most have long since been repaired because they were recalled by IH and fixed (beginning of the downfall of IH) For your type of work, little or no load, it doesn't make any difference. Buy the one you like.
