So here's my dilemma...I have a 1955? 300U with Davis loader and hoe. No power steering, TA likely shot. Motor runs ok, but there are clutch and/or tranny issues that will be a mystery until the tractor is split (paid $1300 for it). I also have a 1961 340U with a badly stuck basket-case motor. No TA, has power steering, solid tractor (paid $500) Plan A was to free the motor and grin like a son-of-a-gun when it ran, swapping the loader and hoe over. Plan B was to replace the 340's c-135 but I'm having trouble finding a running motor for less than the cost of a rebuild. These tractors are in two different locations now, so I can't even eyeball them for compatibility. Grasping at straws but wondering if the power steering unit from the 340 would fit on the 300? Will the front-mount hydro pump from the 300 fit on the 340? These are the things that keep me awake at night. I'm in over my head but have a good mechanic I trust. Trying to keep my costs down or I'd be making payments on something 50 years newer. A friend said sell 'em both and start over, but I am intrigued by the thought of owning a good running tractor with loader and hoe for $2500 or less, and I don't like giving up. I'd appreciate any thoughts or constructive comments.
