3320 cab belly mower lift question...?

[mcgill72143]

yeah I noticed the same thing. i said to myself no way in heck am i removing the loader unless i absolutely have to. theres an old thread on here somewhere. ill have to search for it. someone broke their window on their 3x20 tryning to install the loader and there was pictures. its just to close for me

Yup I saw that post. The guy broke the glass but did a good job on the repair. I think he tried to take the loader off and the ground wasn't level. There's only a finger width between the glass and loader arm and no way am I going to even try it unless I cut and make me an expanded metal guard to protect the glass. Kinda like whats on the deluxe brush guard. Even with a guard I don't think it would stop the arms 100%. Deere could have put a little more thought into it other then just adding a rubber bumper.....

Im thinking of doing the same. I don't want to remove the loader arms because its just too close to the glass for my comfort. Its easy to just drop the bucket and mow. Thats what I did all the time on my 2320......

Why, they make the loader arms so close to the glass is beyond me. I too hated to remove the loader but it gets easier the more times you do it. Just take your time and make sure you drop it where it's level. I've done it 4 times now and I don't dred it as much as I once did.

Yep, If I recall the loader shifted some how. Not pretty!:thumbdown:

This may be past the point where you need the info. The first pic shows the control lever for the MMM (3rd SCV) on my 2007 3320 CAB. The short lever closest to the seat is for the rear SCV. It is a self centering position - normal closed. The other pics shows the QC's on the left rear of the tractor for the SCV. The two hoses to the extreme left are the MMM lift cylinder hoses - disconnected in this pic. The connected hoses are for a chute control on a snow blower that has not yet been removed. The other hoses & QC's on the right are for the Power Beyond function - at the moment nothing is connected. The hose does a loop back to the tractor when no implement is in place.
