Working on a 317, 320, or CT322 and need the real factory procedures? TM2152 runs 266 pages and covers both the skid steer loaders and the CT322 compact track loader, from the track system through loader hydraulics. It carries step-by-step service procedures for every major system, a full torque-values section, and fluid capacity charts spanning the drivetrain. You'll handle rubber track removal, front and rear idler rebuild, hydrostatic pump teardown, loader control valve service, and Quik-Tatch cylinder work for both serial-number variants. Torque the hydraulic oil filter manifold cap screw to 18.5 N·m (164 lb-in.) and the restriction switch to 2.7-5.4 N·m. Those are factory numbers, not forum guesses. Stop chasing specs across browser tabs: the PDF is bookmarked by system, so search any value by keyword and get back to wrenching.

John Deere 317, 320, CT322 Common Problems This Manual Covers
John Deere 317, 320, CT322 boom and bucket stop lifting or tilting while the machine is driving p. 199
Inspect the hydrostatic pump assembly components for excessive wear. Measure the hydraulic pump gear shaft diameter as shown on page 199. If the shaft measures below the 19.00 mm (0.748 in.) minimum specification, replace the shaft and check the piston block and swash plate for scoring.
Manual Section: Section 31Engine starts then dies shortly after start with an active F9H9 front lockout solenoid fault code p. 224
Test the front lockout solenoids and check the wiring harness under the cab for damage. When replacing a faulty valve, torque the spool lock solenoid to 26 to 30 N m (19 to 22 lb-ft) as specified on page 224. Clear the stored fault codes from the dash menu.
Manual Section: Section 31Drive motor locks up under load and sheds widespread metallic debris into the hydraulic oil system p. 73
Remove the damaged drive assembly and flush the entire hydraulic circuit to prevent secondary failures. For 317 and 320 models, safely support the 48 kg (105 lbs) hydrostatic motor during removal as noted on page 73. Maintain absolute cleanliness during assembly of the new motor.
Manual Section: Section 03Parking brake release behavior becomes erratic or the machine completely stops moving under a heavy load p. 247
Check the hydraulic filter manifold assembly for bypass leaks. If servicing a CT322 track loader, tighten the hydraulic oil filter manifold cap screws to 18.5 N m (164 lb-in.) as detailed on page 247. Replace the charge pressure relief valve if system pressure drops during operation.
Manual Section: Section 31Frequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for hydraulic filter manifold assembly?
For the hydraulic oil filter manifold assembly, the replacement spec that matters is the cap screw torque. Tighten the manifold cap screw to 18.5 N∙m (164 lb-in.) when you reinstall it.
What is the correct charge pressure for the 317/320/CT322 hydrostatic system?
System charge pressure should read 1965 kPa (19.6 bar / 285 psi). Test it at the charge pressure port (page 71) before condemning the hydrostatic pump or motor, since low charge pressure mimics a failing drive.
Why do the boom and bucket stop lifting while the machine is still driving?
That usually means wear in the hydrostatic pump assembly. Measure the hydraulic pump gear shaft (page 199); if it is below the 19.00 mm (0.748 in.) minimum, replace the shaft and check the piston block and swash plate for scoring.
What are the lock solenoid torque specs on the 317/320/CT322?
Torque the spool lock solenoid to 26 to 30 N.m (19 to 22 lb-ft) and the port lock solenoid to 5 to 8 N.m (44 to 71 lb-in.), per page 224. Test the lockout solenoids and check the harness under the cab if you get an active lockout fault.
