Part of the John Deere Repair Manuals.
This is the John Deere TM2152 Technical Manual for the 317 and 320 Skid Steer Loaders and the CT322 Compact Track Loader, the factory repair book for machines built from 2003 to 2008. Across 266 pages it walks an experienced technician through removal, disassembly, inspection, and reinstallation of every major system on these loaders.
Coverage runs from the rubber track undercarriage and axles to the hydrostatic transmission, the POWERTECH 2.4 L and 3.0 L diesel engines, the operator cab, and the loader boom and Quik-Tatch coupler. You get torque values, wear tolerances, and hydraulic pressure specs pulled straight from the section groups.
Buy it once as a downloadable PDF, keep it on the shop laptop or your phone, and print the pages you need at the machine. It is the right reference for owners and independent mechanics rebuilding drive motors, chasing charge pressure faults, or servicing the tracks.
