Bought a Farmall 340 with a wide front and power steering. Got it home and finally got it running. Went to test drive and when I went to turn the steering wheel it went over half way around before it turned! Eased back to shop checked and where the steering shaft goes in front support under radiator you can turn the shaft about a full turn before wheels start to move? is there any worm or steering adjustment on this tractor? Thanks

Spud, if you remove the steering shaft with worm gear you will probably find the answer to the problem. There is no "adjustment" to these worm shaft and gear but I'll bet it was let go empty of gear lube and the worm is worn like mine was on my 340D. The worm was worn down so sharp I could've shaved with it. Get your wallet fattened up when you find a new one.
