4320 John Deere owner

[Dalac]

Hi everyone,

I have problem with my SCV lever it is very stiff and when push in any direction it stay engage with the loader keep moving in the action that it got push to.
My model is a John Deere 2010, 4320 compact.
Here there anyone that had the same problem?
My dealer say that the cable may be frozen since we have really cold weather lately.
Note: the SCV lever was stiff from day one it just got worst lately.
Thanks to anyone that will help me with this one...

I have a 2010 4320 with front end loader and never had the problem you described. In fact, I don't recall anyone here on the forum having the same issue. The control mechanism should not be freezing in cold weather. Depending on when you bought the tractor it may be covered under warranty.

I use a 4320 at work and have never experienced that SCV issue either, but my own personal machine has a turnbuckle type linkage that benifits from an occasional shot of lube if the action get stiff. Wonder if you look up parts diagram online from JD then we could see how it actually works.

thank you for sharing your experience

I looked online and JD parts shows two set ups

a cable actuated SCV is shown for cab models....open station looks different

thanks DFB for all of the info, what I had done is open up my rubber cover and throw some good old saver w-40 and it work like new.
There are aluminium component in the casing, so after 800 hours they may create some kind of a gum or other and make it stiff to operate.
Amazing that my JD dealer thought of it.....

Do you have the cab model?

Might be better served to clean the linkage and spray with a better lubricant than wd40.
