I ended up buying the neighbours 3320. I did have to tighten The throttle linkage and the three point hitch actuator/handle linkage as it would not stay elevated without my hand on it. After a weekend of use I love it. It is twice the tractor of my 2320. Cutting, box blading driveway is...

Yes. True. My 2320 manual has been crucial. But was about $70-100 at the time. Seemed Deere was over 300. And eBay 170.

Ok. So only from official Deere. Very expensive. Hoped someone had old cd or pdf. Thanks

Ok. Will do. Thanks. I suppose reality of the mounting hardware will make it an expensive add on in every case.

Are there mid mount mowers available for older compacts either Deere or ideally third party ? Or is it strictly about finding a specific old mower (which is very rarely separated).

I am buying a 2006 3320. I wondered if anyone might have a pdf tech manual or advice on where get cheaply. Thanks!

That’s a big log. I have regreted not getting the 3320 initially. I’ve struggled with brush hog at the edge of pto power and always getting wheel slip grading driveway. Not as much the power but the weight. Also have some landscape stones I can’t move. Just trying to justify. High...

It seems the 2320 was made by Yanmar in Japan according to some other threads.

I appreciate it. At least I don’t feel as dumb ! Surprised Deere does not have better service manual.

While I await the dealer to call me, can you help me understand the missing components and flow? I seem to have misunderstood flow of process. If the hydraulic pump on side (with the pto senenoid attached) is actually also the “charge pump” how does it work? As the Schematic describes a...

Thanks. It’s a 2006 with 3500 hours. I know it is a LOT but I know the use history and very light. Condition seems exceptional. I have had my 2320 since 2006 and 850 hours. So even if I used for 10 years ….I would prob be at 4000 on the 3320. I get mixed feedback on the value.

I seem to be thinking about it backwards. I guess the charge pump test port location on the hydrostatic plate is just an odd but convenient location. And I have read manual many times along with schematics, theory of operation and searched parts diagrams. Nowhere is there a comportment...

Ok. Thanks all. Seems like not a big issue in any case so will take another look.

Thanks for the added info. I do have the official manual. There is a charge pressure port location and proceedure. There is no pto port anywhere in manual. Dealer confirmed it’s not there. He said it would be near pto senenoid and it was. Clearly charge pump pressure low I agree and...

Open. It’s a 2006. So the rampy revs is normal ?

Ok. So you think it should have the same rock solid direct connection to rpm like my 2320? I read about load match but not sure what it is not it this tractor has it.

Hello. I have an ailing 2320 and had a look at a used, high hours, but seemingly very well maintained 3320. My quick test in his driveway was fine, but throttle very different and wonder if it’s normal. My 2320 has a very direct throttle. A few mm of movement and Precisely equivalent...

I will post another update once i get more detail. I did get advice from dealer…..ran tests. Got a better uderstanding of how this charge pump work. Took off transaxle again…removed hydrostat. Broke down completey and cleaned. Reassembled and same issue. To clarify function….. the...

I’m considering moving up from my 2006 2320 to a 3320. I happened to see one with 3600 hours just down the road. Any advice on how many hours is getting to be end of life ?

Agreed and thank you again.

Interesting. So I suppose the oil feeds through the centre of shaft or channel leading to a pressure plate etc. I couldn’t detect an obvious path in the disassembly pics. I don’t want to split the case, but if I ultimately do….I guess i’ll learn!

Haha yes. I’ve have the hydrostatic down to individual parts several times (two broken output shafts thanks to siezed drive shaft u joints. There is nothing really there other than check valves. I suspect one of the valves on the centre block (charge pump) might be involved and is close...

I’ve attached a helpful (to me) operation page. It seems the charge pump is in centre block and feeds oil at lowish 100psi to all. The hydrostat creates really strong pressure for drive (only) in either direction. The hydraulic pump gets oil from charge pump but does actually seem to...

The strainer is in the lower rear of transaxle. The filter is visible on the attached. Seems on schematic the drive shaft powers hydrostat separately and there is side gear to power charge pump ( although don’t see that “pump”) which feeds the hydraulic motor. I see where the lines...

I can’t find any specific images or home for the priority flow control valve. I’ve attached blow up of the hydraulic pump with senenoid. There is control valve below the rock shaft housing (and next page top the number descriptions).

Thank you for this ! And yes ! As noted I saw a spec port in list. I will try to call a dealer. So IF I was to test ….Would a clog show low pressure ? Or depending on placement of port I might still see 310psi and not know if it’s worn clutch or clog causing issue? Maybe I...

I will try to add as screenshot. I can’t seem to extract a page from the pdf. Let me know if these are readable. Yes brakes work as does steering and FEL and 3 point. And the pto worked for a while. Just started to bog and I shut down After a time it ran fine, on and off. But has done...

This is a whole new line of learning for me. Very interesting albeit a challenge. I appreciate the knowledge passed along. In service manual there is some ambiguity. There is a photo/guide for “charge pump” pressure test and port that is 100psi. There are fwd/rev high pressure...

Ok. Interesting. Very helpful. I will do more research and look at oil flow schematic in service manual. I assume there is one. And will change oil and screen again if I can get to a possible solution. Given above I see that perhaps gasket fragment etc got into orifice.

It does have fel. And yes power steering ans loader lines would be old and now mixed. I did do filter and the rear filter screen. You think the 1 year old remnant oil will have a meaningful impact on clutch slip ?

Thanks all for joining with advice. I appreciate it. I did just change fluid with the hydrostatic rebuild. True yes I am not interested in slipping and ruining plates so will be aware. There is a lot in your post that sounds interesting and most would be better than splitting. I...

I can. It seems to take 20+ mins under load ( heavy grass) to start the bog. Have you seen these clutches wear ?

It doesn’t shut off….just seems to slip. And then ramps up. Do these plates wear out ? i Can’t find much on pto clutches and it is so buried it doesn’t seem like wear part. I admit I don’t really understand to engagement function/solenoid. It there any way there can be partial lock...

I recently replaced drive shaft and output shaft for second time on 2320 from dreaded u joint failure. All seemed fine after. Today using brush hog… all good, but after period of time cutter was slowing and see that pto shaft slowing to crawl. Lift cutter and wait and ramps up again. Engine rpm...

I just broke rear ujoint on 2320 main drive shaft and it looks like it took the first few inches of the input shaft as well. I'd love some advice. I took off lower front panel and can see that removing the ring and ujoint from the engine side will be tough to access but at least possible...

Tractor running fine. After approx 2 hours i shut off and got no crank on restart. No lights either . .just a weak whine behind the instrument panel. Thought maybe alternator died and somehow battery drained (but how with no lights running??). Tried boosting from truck . . got lights but weak...

I know this is a pretty unlikely scenario for others, but a rock seems to have put a small hole in my mid pto shaft cover/housing. The housing appears to cover and also house the mid pto. I've removed the bolts but before i use a mallet to try and loosen the gasket, I thought I would ask...

I'm looking at box blades and rear blades that will fit my i-match but can't fing list pricing in the US. Although I live in CDA I want to know "worst-case if I just drive to a US dealer do I can compare it to the CDN prices I've seen. I have a feeling "US list" is less than "CDN deal" . ...

I've seen a lot of posts that seem to point to a landscape rake being a great implement for a gravel driveway. I'm trying to minimize my implement expense. I need to groom and maintain some rain ruts and undulations in a new gravel driveway. My first thought was a rear blade, and although...

I've been reviewing the threads as I'm going to be preparing an acre or two for lawn as well as possibly maintaing a VERY long dravel driveway. I have a rotary tiller for my 2320 and can break up sod and soil well, but as it's somewaht clay-ish it does stay clumpy. I would like to be able...

There is probably an aspect of tractors engine requirements that I don't understand, so thought I'd ask. Why is it that a CUT (like my JD2320) makes 20 ish hp and torque and larger CUTs make 30-37ish . . . yet a simple car or motorcycle engine (which can't cost more that $3-4K) produces approx...

I have the proper torques from the manual for the loader arm bolts (required checking every service). . . . But just had a question. On the outbound side is a grease fitting with a non visible bolt through the arm. On the inbound side is the nut (24mm, I think). Although the nut is tight . ...

I have a 2320 and have some trench jobs ahead. I may just rent a trencher or hire out the service from a pro . . but wondered if anyone could give me an idea of time etc. if i had my own BH. I need to dig a trench 12" wide x 3 feet deep . . for over 2200'. I also need to dig out a 30x50...

I went to the dealer and asked for the oil/tranny filters as well as recommended fluids for my 50hour service. I questioned them on both the tranny filter and the viscosity. They didn't sell me the orange filter . . told me that was just a casing for the insert . . . and sold me 15-40 engine...

My only option (other than buying) is to rent a uhaul open utility trailer. It is a 6x10 dual axle with small sides and (link . . . U-Haul Equipment Guide ) The floor is the ridged aluminum (pretty light stuff) and I don't know about the fram underneath. Uhaul claim it is rated at 4400lbs...

I found a Uhaul location that rents a 12' tanden axle (4000lb load capacity)vehicle trailer for $49/day. I would like to move my JD 2320 . . but wonder if the tracks are too far apart for my narrow tractor. My dimensions show the front wheels at 31 inches. Does anyone have experience with...

I am looking for a way to simply get basic low pressure water from a stream to do simple tasks like filling 5gal jug and washing vehicles/bikes etc. Even residential type flow would be fine with me. IF the pump had the flexibility I would also use higher flow to wet down some areas of my...

I just got my imatch. It came with two bushings. These simply increased diameter of lower pins and were only as wide as the imatch lower hook. No overlap or lateral room. I used my normal snap ring to secure them and it worked fine on the rotary cutter. However . . .as my JD ballast...

This is not a tractor question, but I do want to wash my new compact and don't have water source at my property. I wonder if any of you have used a gas powered pressure washer with a simple tank of gravity fed water? I know the specs say it needs a min flow rate of (?) but . . . I was...

I'll try to spare you the complicated "verbal drawing" as much as possible. To modify my tiller to fit I-match I had a possible solution but wanted your thoughts on strength and choice of steel plate. to make imatch fit: I need to shorten the rise from lower pins to top pin, and I need to...

I have a new 2320 and a JD LX5 (last year model), JD ballast box, and a tiller from another mftr (Del Morino URT150E/D). I'm finding the switching of the implements a major pain . . on and off the tractor 10 times fwd/back. Struggling to get the pins lined up. Lift/lower . . fwd back to change...

I'm getting a 2320 with a 5' rotary cutter. I know it will be a bit of a stretch for the 18pto and for the frame . . .and won't give me the nice finish on the lawn areas I have. If the rotary is too much for the tractor, the dealer said I could do a pretty low cost switch. So . . .I'm...

This sounds like a silly question, but my 2320 arrives next week and wondering what the concensus method is for filling the tank. Do most of you use a good old red plastic container . . or do you go with a bigger one and some sort of hand pump? The position of the filler cap looks a little...

I went through all the reviews and test rode (just parking lot stuff) the 2305, 2320, and 2520. My uses will be primarily 5' brush cutting (really just grass) meadow 5-10 acres, a little 60" tilling in light soil, and some frequent but low weight loader work. Accuracy and visibility of the...

I'm considering the 2320 or 2520. I can't find CDN list prices . .and the dealers aren't forthcoming. .so have no way of knowing the discounts offered. The US prices on the Deere site DO NOT correlate after exchange rate . .so I know we are penalized . . but I honestly have no idea if I have...
