I have the opportunity to buy an IH 340 Utility. It has wide front
>wheels, rubber tires, and all the body work. It does not have a 3 pt
>hitch, which I would like to add (I understand that some 340's came with
>a 3 pt. Fast Hitch with Traction Control and Tel-A-Depth, are these
>still out there and what do they cost?). It doesn't run and probably
>needs a rebuild, which I am more than willing to do. The seller is
>throwing in a front loader and another 340 minus front wheel and engine
>and most body parts (how difficult and expensive is it to locate another
>engine?) HE believes the tractor was manufactured in '65. The numbers
>on the tractor are r 81 7 (on clutch housing), 373713 R1, and 12305 P.
>What might these be worth? There is no rust, though some minor body
>damage. What is such a tractor worth in this state and restored?
