I got my second wind and I removed the radiator and plastic fan and shroud. I had my son hold a breaker bar on the top of the engine while I went under it to break the pto bolt loose. No luck with that. My question is the pto bolt left handed thread?

Right hand. Again impact wrench. This would be a first, having to remove PTO, to get the front axle off. Normally all I have to do is take off the tie rods and the bolt through the center on the axle. Guess that's what I learned new today.
an impact would be nice to break the bolt loose. I probably could have avoided removing the radiator and plastics. I'll give it another go tomorrow. I will be replacing many parts so is there a place you would suggest to get parts. The parts im talking about are drive belt, valve cover gaskets, probably some electric charging system part. That is what my list is so far. The other parts are dealer itemsonly. Those will include front lift kit, and front axle bushings.

I know this is an old thread, but I just joined hoping to find the electrical diagram for the safety system on the 320. The engine manual will be very helpful going forward, Thank you! but my problem now is no spark. it will crank but without spark. I'm pretty sure it's one of the safety feature switches. I am about to disconnect the grounds to the coils to confirm coils are not bad.
I guess I should check the low oil shut down too?
Thank you in advance to anyone who is willing to help.

hello. i decided to install new bushings in the front axle of my JD 320 a couple of weeks ago. the PTO clutch does have to come out in order to get the center pin out. i now have a lot less slack in the front end. i'm now debating on changing the "plastic cam shaft". the engine rolled over 1,000 hours last sunday.
