The 340 was made about the same time as the 560 and 460 . So iam guessing that they used the same type of fuel injection system as the bigger tractors. they had a glow plug to heat the fuel in the injector for easyer starting you should find a guage on the tractor that says glow plug meter with a button on the side of it . you hold the button in for about half a minute to start when the engine is cold less when the engine is warm and keep holding it after the engine is running smooth. the important thing to rememder is if it doesnt start well is that the glow plugs are all working and to have good batteries and an engine heater in cold clinates . the engines in the bigger tractors were very fuel efficent in the diesel versons . my dad had a340 in a rowcrop and gas verson and i thought it was a great little tractor . he also has a 706 with the same type engine with 16000 hours on it
