J.J.: the 340 tractor was only in production from 1958 until 1962, thus it has to be one of those years. You can check engine serial number which should be on a flat machined surface, and stamped rather than cast in place, just under number 1 plug. That will not be the same as tractor serial, but if you can find someone with a close engine serial number, then got to his tractor serial number, it would be close.

You can also go to casting codes, those series of numbers and letters cast in place and having what looks like a blade type round head screw between the digits. It is month and day by number and year by letter or number. By 58, IH may have gone numbers, however if it is letter, A is 55, B is 56, etc. Each casting of the tractor will have it's own casting code date.
