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.

John Deere 317, 320, CT322 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Machine will not move
A skid steer or track loader that will not drive in either direction often traces back to low hydraulic oil or a charge pressure supply fault. The Transmission section covers the hydrostatic drive circuit and pressure checks needed to isolate the cause.
Manual Section: Transmission p. 59Boom and tilt drop while driving
Owners report the boom and bucket suddenly losing lift and tilt while the machine is moving, which points to a pressure loss rather than a control fault. Loader hydraulic and coupler service is documented in the Loader section.
Manual Section: Loader p. 171Drive motor failure contaminates hydraulics
A failing hydrostatic drive motor can shed debris into the whole hydraulic system, turning a single repair into a major cleanup. The Transmission section details motor removal, disassembly, and the cleanliness discipline required during reassembly.
Manual Section: Transmission p. 59Front lockout solenoid stalls machine
A machine that starts then dies shortly after, or throws start and run faults, commonly has a front lockout solenoid, wiring, fuse, or relay problem. Solenoid removal and torque values are covered in the Loader section.
Manual Section: Loader p. 171Rubber track and roller wear
Worn rubber track lugs and leaking track rollers are routine wear items on the CT322 undercarriage and cause vibration, poor traction, and uneven ride. The Tracks section covers measuring lug wear, roller removal, and leakage testing.
Manual Section: Tracks p. 31Cooling system overheating
Neglected radiators, worn fan belts, and clogged shrouds let these loaders run hot under load, risking engine damage. Radiator, fan, and fan belt service is documented in the Engine Auxiliary Systems section.
Manual Section: Engine Auxiliary Systems p. 133Frequently Asked Questions
Which machines does this manual cover?
TM2152 covers the John Deere 317 and 320 Skid Steer Loaders and the CT322 Compact Track Loader. It is the repair Technical Manual for these three models, built between 2003 and 2008.
Is this the repair manual or the operation and test manual?
This is the repair Technical Manual, TM2152. Its sections tell you how to remove, disassemble, inspect, and reinstall components. Operation and test diagnostics for these loaders are a separate John Deere publication (TM2151).
How do I release hydraulic pressure before servicing?
The manual specifies a Hydraulic System Pressure Release procedure before opening the hydraulic circuit, referenced in the Transmission section so you can safely relieve stored pressure before disconnecting lines. p. 71
What is the torque for the hydraulic filter manifold cap screws?
On the CT322, the hydraulic oil filter manifold cap screw torque is 18.5 N·m (164 lb-in.). This value and related manifold specs are listed in the Loader section. p. 247
How quickly can I access this John Deere 317, 320, CT322 manual after buying?
Download lands the moment you pay: a 266-page searchable PDF, no shipping and no waiting. It opens on any device, so you can pull it up on your phone right at the machine.
Is this John Deere 317, 320, CT322 Technical Manual printable?
Absolutely. No DRM or copy protection. Print the whole manual or just the pages you need. Any home or office printer works.
