    3320 Axle Seal

    Thanks for the info. When I picked up the new seal it had an insert (see above) that said I needed to use their special seal driver to prevent damage. After looking at the seal it seems as if a piece of flat plate would work since the metal outer ring of the seal protrudes just a bit. What...

    3320 Axle Seal

    I have a 3320 with the front axle leakage problem. On JD parts I believe that I have found the seal that is the culprit but wanted to check and see if anyone has done the fix themselves. On the JD parts diagram it looks like I would only need to replace #22 Axle Output seal. It looks like...

    3320 Throttle

    Took my 3320 out today and the throttle will not hold a consistent rpm. It is not an engine problem but a hand throttle problem. I will set an rpm using the dash mounted hand throttle and it will drop to a lower rpm. If I set it at a higher setting it will drift down and settle on a lower...

    3320 Leaking Wheel Hub

    I have a 3320 with a leaking front wheel hub. I moved snow in very cold CO temps a put it in the shed. Next day, a nice puddle of low vis fluid on the shop floor. I wiped it up and checked again today with no more leakage (axle still has plenty of fluid). I have noticed pressure and or...

    Chute Deflector

    I have a Frontier rear mount blower and not had a chance to use yet. It has been extremely warm and dry here in CO so far. I just knew my purchase would keep the snow away. Anyway, I am curious how often you guys adjust the chute deflector during the course of snow blowing. Is it set and...

    Electric Selector Valve Install

    Well, its not pretty but it works! I installed an electric selector valve at the rear of the tractor to have 2 working hydraulic circuits. Right now, I have the hydraulic top link and snow chute rotation. Maybe if I am good Santa will bring me a hydraulic sidelink or a cylinder for my back...

    3320 Tilt Cylinder

    I will soon have (hopefully) two hydraulic outputs on the rear of my 3320. I already have a top link cylinder that I bought for a song from my local dealer when another customer bought the entire top-n-tilt kit and only wanted the tilt cylinder. After looking at JD parts I was pretty...

    Hirschmann Connector

    Hi all, I have ordered an electric selector valve from Surplus Center: https://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=9-7852&catname=hydraulic and it says it uses a Hirschmann connector for the electrical portion to the solenoid valve...

    New Frontier SB1164

    Took delivery of my Frontier snow blower today during 55f temperatures here in Colorado. I sprung for the hydraulic chute rotation but presently have only one hyd port at the rear so I am waiting anxiously for my electric selector valve to come in from Surplus Center at the suggestion of...

    Poor Man's Top n Tilt?

    I have a 3320 with 3rd SCV at the rear of the tractor. I would love to have a tilt function as well but can't justify the cost of adding the electric diverter valve and all the plumbing involved. If I was to use this: Metro Machine Selector Valve, 1/2in. Port, 20 GPM Flow | Machine Selector...

    LED Lights

    I am contemplating adding another light to my rops to aim backwards to help illuminate the rear while snowblowing. I am getting maxed out on amperage so was thinking about adding an led which draws less than 1 amp. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200407598_200407598 Does...

    Frontier SB1164

    I just priced a Frontier SB 1164 blower and hydraulic chute rotator at my local JD dealer. The quote was $2520 which sounds like a good deal from what I am reading. Does anyone have the 1164 and if so what do you think of it? I have the 3rd scv so I am definitely leaning towards the hydraulic...

    What Implement Do I Need?

    I had some earthwork done around my house and now the ground is hard and compacted. I need to loosen the soil so I can plant some native grass in the hope that the dirt doesn't all float away in the rain and snow to come. I currently have a back blade and a loader but that's it. I am thinking...

    3320 Battery

    Has anyone found an Optima battery to fit the 3320 without too many modifications? My original battery crapped out right after the warranty of course. I have looked at the Optima website but can't find anything that looks like it would work and a phone call to them was no help. Any help...

    Bent Top Link Bracket

    Anyone with the TNT or just the top kit? I installed a third scv and also the top kit cylinder from JD that was parted out by the dealer. Today while moving snow and using my backblade I seriously bent the bracket that is attached to the center link cylinder that can be pinned to the upper...

    Snow  Buhler Snow Blowers?

    I am currently looking at a Buhler Farm King snowblower made in Canada. It is the 60" model for my 3320. Anyone have any information or experience with these? I have a third scv and would plan on getting the hydraulic option for the chute rotation. I can almost guarantee that if I buy this...

    Manual Selector Valve?

    I just completed the install of the 3rd SCV on my 3320. The dealer had the top cylinder from a topntilt kit and gave me a good deal on it. I would love to have the sidelink as well but can't pony up the money for the diverter valve and kit ($1200 or so). So, I am wondering if anyone has used...

    Plumbing 3rd SCV

    I have a 3320 and have been hemming and hawing about a top link cylinder and the associated hydraulics. My dealer can order and install it but that requires a trip charge since I don't have a trailer to drag it to the dealer.:mad: Has anyone installed this themselves? It looks like a plumbing...

    One Thing I Hate....

    I have a 3320 and love it except for.... the cheesy adjustable side link on the three point. I was at the JD dealer today and saw they had changed the design to a beefier unit that looks easier to turn. My unit has the thin metal bat wing arrangement that is tough to turn when using my heavy...

    Adjustable Side Link

    I have a 3320 and have been mowing using an lx-5. Occasionally the adjustable side link moves on its own and the deck tilts effecting the cut. I level it off and somehow it moves. I can't see how it can unscrew with all that weight on it. Anyone else have the same problem? This adjustment...

    Mowing  LX-5 Mower: Shear Pin and Slip Clutch

    Was at the JD dealer and thought I'd get a couple extra shear pins for my LX-5 mower. Parts guy couldn't find it on the parts diagram and said it didn't have one. In looking at the manual it looks like the mower has both the slip-clutch and a shear pin in case the slip-clutch seizes up...

    I-Match or other?

    I was at my local JD dealer today and saw a Landpride quick-tach system like the i-match. Got to talking with my sales guy and he said they don't even stock the i-match since it only works with JD implements. Supposedly the Landpride will work with all... I would much rather have one to use...

    Arm Rests

    Hi all, I have an open station 3320 and got to wondering about armrests after moving snow yet again. I have a bad shoulder and was wondering if arm rests are available?! Does anyone have these and do they help? I looked on JD parts and they do show some in one of the parts diagrams. It...

    Blade Weight

    I have a rear 6' blade I use mainly for moving snow 60+" so far this season here in Colorado. I mainly push or pull snow with the blade reversed so it doesn't dig up my recycled asphalt driveway. But, the blade doesn't seem to have enough weight or down pressure, it just rides on top of the...

    Mini-Fuse Wire Tap

    I am wiring some rops lights on my JD 3320. I am planning on using a "mini fuse tap-off" circuit I bought at an auto parts store and tapping into my worklight circuit. This circuit plugs into the mini fuse block and then has a second fuse for the new circuit This allows me to power the lights...

    Forward Light Kit

    I recently added a rear work light and it made a world of difference last night while moving snow and using my backblade. The front headlights of course get blocked by the loader which got me interested in the Forward light kit as well. Does anyone have it? In JD parts it is showing LVB25546...

    300CX Problem

    Hi all, I have a 3320 with 300CX loader. Man has it been a lifesaver here in Colorado this year! Out moving snow again tonight for the 5th week in a row. Anyway, the hydraulic hose retainer on my loader keeps breaking. This is a plastic clamp and zip tie that attaches to the loader frame...

    Top and Tilt

    Does anyone have a Top and Tilt kit? I saw it in the JD parts catalog and thought it would really be something to control your rear implement from the seat. I am a little confused though. It seems to me you would need two Power Beyond kits to obtain 4 hose ports if thats possible. I have...

    1st Oil Change 3320

    Did the 50 hr oil change on my 3320 yesterday. The oil filter part number in the owners manual is no longer valid so I got the new number off the JD parts website (they looked the same to me). I added the 5.1 qts of oil as described in the owners manual but it seems much higher on the dipstick...

    Rear Blade  Rear Blade Shopping

    I am looking for a 6-7' rear blade for my JD3320. I would primarily use it to push/move snow and some gravel driveway work. My JD dealer sells Frontier and another dealer sells Landpride. Does anyone have any input regarding these two brands. Both have forward/reverse angles and tilt...

    I have a 3320 with 300CX loader and moved alot of snow today after our blizzard here outside of Denver. Got 36" and drifts up to 7' high. It was cold enough that it iced up and I had no traction whatsoever. I had a 6' blade on back with a wooden weight box that I built that holds chains etc...

    Rear Work Light

    I have a relatively new 3320 and would like to have a rear work light. I have seen quite a few threads with owners adding their own light and wiring but I am curious if the wiring harness is already installed? I notice quite a few capped harness plugs on the rear of the tractor. Are any of...

    I have a relatively new 3320 with 300Cx Loader and am having ocassional tach trouble on startup. When I turn the key the tach and other systems do a self test it seems that on a normal day the tach will go to full scale then zero (or vice versa) and read correctly after start. Ocassionally the...
