Matt: When I first responded to you, I should have said, "340 has same basic block as Super C". There are the differences I outlined and the two blocks will have different part numbers.
To go one step further it is the same basic block as used in A, B, SC, SC, etc. in swathers, 404 and even 504. One basic block and going from 17 to 45 hp. Then you have the H, SH, 300 and 350 basic block, much heavier, yet it started off around 27 hp in the H, ending at 40 hp in the 350. Just a case of small block and big block.
All companies did this, several horse power ratings out of one block. For the most part, the blocks were more successful at lower ratings. The small blocks like the 340 were a good point. That engine ran forever and a day in the offsets, probably a lot of them gave 5,000 hours of service before rebuild. I'm betting tractors like 404, 330 and 340 were under 3,500 hours on average. The owner of a 504 was lucky to make 2,000 hours. I know my 504 was rebuilt at 1,500 hours.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
