HELP! 3320 Range lever knob removal question.

OrangeJbird · Feb 12, 2013

I need to take out the black plastic operator station cover so I can repair my loader lever linkage.
How does the orange cover on the range selector lever come off? Is it snapped on? I started to pry a little with a screwdriver and don't want to break it.
Also, how to remove the rate of drop knob below seat front for 3-point. Unscrew it?
Thanks for looking.

Hello, I had an older 4300 hst and I believe the knobs are the same for removal. The range lever orange cap snaps off and inside you will find a screw to completely remove knob. I believe the rockshaft rate of drop knob will pull straight off. I have attached photos of a 2012 3320 parts diagrams. If your tractor is another year model you can go to JDParts on line. I hope this helps.

Yea, pop the top off the range lever and you'll find a 10mm bolt that's holding it on. The 3 point has an allen head screw at the base of the shaft. Loosen and pull off.

Any suggestions to "pop the top off the range lever?"
I tried prying it with various tools to no avail.
Can't see an allen screw on the other knob. Will look closer.
Thanks

I had to take a small scraper to get under the top of the range lever to pop it off. It was on there pretty good before it finally popped off. My 3 point rate of drop lever has a small allen head bolt recessed toward the back. My 3320 is an 2006, they may have changed to just a pull off style on newer models.
