3320 rolled and damaged...new purchase

[hanson1999]

i just bought a 3320 and 300cx loader....2008 models, rolled over and broke hood, bent rops, and ripped one 3 point arm out of tranny and axle case. also ripped top link out. i know i can fix the top link part easy, but the tranny case gets expensive. i'll send some pics once i get it home i bought it online over a salvage auction, thinkin i'll get it goin reasonably...pics to follow any ideas appreciated....174 hrs on tractor...r4 tires....gonna be good i hope!!! 2009 2520 will be for sale...117 hours on that one!!

Anxious to see the pics. Sounds like a project.

Sounds like a very interesting project, I am very curious what you paid for it though?

Just curious but do you know if the operator who rolled it got hurt? Or worse???

 

[hanson1999]

kebo....not sure at all but i'm guessing it couldn't have been good, the seat brackets are bent and steering column needs some work also.

right now my biggest problem is none of the 3 point arms came with the tractor. deere wants unbelievable money for those parts. i am going to go with aftermarket parts have been looking on the net alot.

Does anyone know a good place for 3 point arms and parts??

Also anyone know of any salvage outfits where i would maybe find used parts for this compact utility??

That rockshaft housing is around $700 new, would love to save some money on that!!

The loader is in great shape, 300cx with 61" HD bucket.

The arms are cheaper if you buy the Telescopic Kit thru Whole goods...I want to say just one of the normal arms is $250ish but the kit of both telescopic arms is the same price if not less...

The rest of the 3pt linkage could be fabricated fairly easy...If I were in your shoes I'd build one of the lift links and get a TNT link for the other side from CCM.

Worthington Tractor Salvage, Worthington MN. (and other locations in the midwest) is pretty big in this area.....I'd check 'em out.

I had a similar problem with a rockshaft housing on a Massey I owned. I took a grinder and ground the damaged area as flat as I could. I made a box out of stainless steel and left ears all around the outside. I drilled holes in the ears and matching holes in the casting.

Then tapped the casting holes, put a thick layer of silicone sealer on and bolted the stainless box onto the casting.

It worked like a charm, just make sure to make the box deep enough to allow the piston for the rockshaft to extend to it's full travel.
