First i want to thank everyone on this site for all the great information - i am nearing divorce (not really but the wife has some serious concerns at this point -laugh!) having spent so much time over the past year or so first researching tractors (I am the proud new owner for about a month of a new to me 3320 with about 190 hours) and now how to operate the tractor (sort of basic setup of 300cx, box blade and rake at this point though I have also already put in a request for a markham grapple for the holidays:) which will probably require a diverter of some sort) but before I get ahead of myself...

Please keep in mind that I am a complete newbe at just about anything mechanical and probably have gotten myself in a little over my head but...

Having read numberous threads I ordered a CCM toplink, and 3rd svc kit as a start. Made reasonable progress this morning removing the fender, seat and "seat tray area" bolts but am now stuck at the point where I need to remove the handles on the 3pt hitch and gear selector to move the tray.

This is probably the most moronic question ever asked here but could not find a thread addressing it - do i just pull these things off? I have tried with some force (combination of pulling and some slight twisting) to no avail - I am afraid to pull any harder at this point as i am afraid i could do some damage. (The instructions just say remove) Looking at the new lever for the 3rd svc it appears there are a couple of "notches" that kind of hold the top handle on and am assuming that is all that holds the 3pt hitch handle top on. Not sure about the grear selector handle top...?

While I am at it three other questions - do I need to remove the joystick for the loader and the small lever beneath it that controls the range of motion or will I have enought access once I get the lever handles off? I am bit nervous to do this and would rather not.

Secondly, I have noticed that many of the bolts I am removing have some sort of white stuff on them (is that a bolt tightener of some sort). The instructions don't indicate that this is necessary.

Third - the kit came with three little o rings (I think that is what they are but I cannot tell where they should go and there is no apparent reference to them in the instuctions? Three seemed to be an odd number to me as well?

Again - Thank You for all the help (even though you may not have been aware you were helping! (sorry for the long post).

the gear shifter you pop the orange cover off and then there is a bolt under that holding the main handle on, the others on the other side do just pop off, i heated mine a little to help, and no, you don't hafta take the joystick apart to get the shroud off. don't worry about the white stuff on the bolts, and the orings, well i don't know that one....

Thank you! I will apply a little heat to the three point lever.

Secondly, I have noticed that many of the bolts I am removing have some sort of white stuff on them (is that a bolt tightener of some sort). The instructions don't indicate that this is necessary.

I think it is used during the manufacturing process as a quality control measure-the paint is applied after the bolt is torqued.

As far as the o-rings, I am not sure...have you looked at the parts diagram on JDParts?

There look to be 6 shown if this is the kit (looked it up under jdparts).
Shown as 6, 16, and 18.

Thank You - The picture sure looks like six but JDParts lists quantity of four (#6 2 and #16 and #18 1 each). I only have three as far as I can tell. Assuming these orings are "standard" and I could pick one up at the local hardware store?

get one from deere or a hydraulic shop....standard cheap ones are usually a little oversized and squash out easily.....not worth getting a leak over....

Ugg-well i failed...was successful at removing the seat, fender and mostly the seat pan (couldn't get it past the loader joystic) and found myself staring at the valve which I could not budge the plugs on the bottom. I got to that point where I realized 1)I needed some tools I did not have 2) i got nervous that i would make a mess of my really expensive tool (er toy) 3) I should not quit my day job and 4) the nail in the coffin was my wife politely reminding me that I was sending the thing in this week anyway for its 200 hour service. So I swollowed my pride and started to bolt stuff back on. Couldn't even do that as the bolts along the bottom of the tray i couldn't get back line-up but i will let the dealer do that. At least got to spend a few hours trying to learn how to use my boxblade.

I remain humbled by all those willing to try and help! Thank You for your responses - much appreciated.
