A Run Flat mode checks tire pressures regularly and inflates as needed to compensate for leaks. [3] [12] The A1 model features uprated AxleTech 5000 Series axles, an anti-lock braking system with traction control and a Dana central tire inflation system. Armor mode increases tire pressures to compensate for the added weight of the B-kit armor.
A diesel version had a 166-cubic-inch (2,720 cc) engine, with the same horsepower. The 340's new hydraulic system used transmission oil is the hydraulic fluid. The International Harvester IH 340 was the utility version, and the International 340 was the industrial version. A crawler version was sold as the T-340, or the TD-340 with a diesel engine.
The H tractor was 14.84 hp (11.07 kW) out of a 90 cu in (1.5 L) engine, and had a three-speed transmission. 1947, all models operator platforms were updated with, a cushioned seat, new steering column, lights, battery, and electric starting which resulted in an inclosed flywheel.
Tire forces are divided into three axes: radial, lateral, and tangential (or fore-aft). The radial axis runs from the tire center toward the tread, and is the vertical axis running from the roadway through the tire center toward the vehicle. This axis supports the vehicle's weight. The lateral axis runs sideways across the tread.
Prior to 1964, tires were all made to a 90% aspect ratio. Tire size was specified as the tire width in inches and the diameter in inches – for example, 6.50-15. [24] From 1965 to the early 1970s, tires were made to an 80% aspect ratio. Tire size was again specified by width in inches and diameter in inches.
If the tire is not checked, it has the potential to cause vibration in the suspension of the vehicle on which it is mounted. In tire retail shops, tire/wheel assemblies are checked on a spin-balancer, which determines the amount and angle of unbalance. Balance weights are then fitted to the outer and inner flanges of the wheel. [2]

The Cub Lo-Boy, introduced in 1955, was a lowered version of the Standard Cub. The rear axle housings were rotated, lowering the tractor about 7–8 inches (180–200 mm). Also, the front axle extensions were lowered, and the tractor wheelbase was shortened to 62 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (1,590 mm). These modifications lowered the center of gravity ...
