I picked up my 2007 2320 in November off Cl. I think I'm the 3rd owner at around 220 hrs (at pickup).
Tractor was bought in a package (200cx Loader, I match, 6 -70lb weights, Frontier Box Blade, and 72" Frontier 3 PT mower. )
I've done the math, and think it was a fair deal.
I knew the last owner had done some minor maintenance such as the oil as noted in the book.
I completed the maintenance with the prepackaged service filter pack.
I really was not sure about anything else since the the transmission filter/fluid was still RED. The red was still Red. not the feared brown I thought it might be...
I had seen post around here about hydro screen being plugged at 50 hrs...I was sorta paranoid/scared at what I might find.......
When I took the screen off, there was literally no more than a 1/4 teaspoon of fine material dusting at the ends sorta gathered and nothing major on the magnets whatsoever.... I'm not sure if this machine has been serviced (doubt it) or it's just a a good one. I was really shocked the whole time I was doing this-because minus the oil filter and trans. filter being previously put on by He-Man...(afraid I'm going to break something taking them off)...everything went just like the manual stated. Usually, anything I own....has me scratching my head because mine doesn't have that or look like that picture.....and I end up teaching myself NEW 4 letter words that are not invented yet.
I managed to get the front u-joint lubed. Only had to take the upper and lower dash bolts out. Unfortunately, I broke 2 of the middle tabs on account of not realizing they were attached...I don't see this as a big problem. I'm not sure about the access hole. This really wasn't a big deal. I really don't want to cut an access hole....but now
hoping I can get at the sucker from the bottom with the needle. If I could dig up a 10" needle tip...you could really have the control you need to shove it up there and get it from the bottom.
it was achievable via the needle type grease fitting. I kinda held it in there tight, whiles someone pulled the trigger...
Additionally, I replaced one of the leaking hydro quick connects.
I also added 2 7/8 bushings on the sway links to shore that issue up as well.
Now that the "fun stuff" is out of the way....I'm thinking about the best place to mount a 12 volt plug and where I'm mounting my aux. lights.
With all the experts here...does anyone have a good wire that is powered on with the key/powered all the time (without me probing everything)...
I had taken off the i match to make it easier to do the screen. I picked up some cheap guns (for painting my weights) from Harbor Freight...and they do one HECK of a job! Now I'm in a painting mood (certainly much more fun now than in January!!!!) Might repaint the KK rake, rototiller and Frontier BB while I'm going strong. The bucket has some wear....but I'm not sure to just brush touch up or. wait a bit....
Sorry for being long-winded...but if I can do it---anyone can! Don't be discouraged. This forum has given me the courage to tackle this maintenance! Thanks to all!
