check the fuses we had one do this and turned out a fuse in the engine compartment on a new holland and someone mentioned these were made by new holland simple fix but our mechanic couldn't figure it out so he was amazed when he turned around and I checked the fuses put one in and was loading it up when he came back with tools to tear it down.I waited for a while before I told him what I did so it was fun till I did.

CT332 SSL are not manufactured by New Holland. They are Deere engineered and Deere manufactured in Dubuque, IA.

Lucky for you I worked at the Deere test site where the CT332 was tested for durability.

As Jonathan noted you need to make sure your seat switch is being activated as well as your seat belt switch.

A good test for the seat switch is: Get in the machine with the key off. Did the display lights and guages come on? If not you have a problem with the seat switch. It is in the bottom cushion.


There is also a simple test for the seat belt switch. Look at the monitor before you plug in your seatbelt. The seatbelt light should be on. Once you connect your seatbelt the light should go off. If not you have found your problem.

I changed companies. I no longer work for Deere, so I dont have service advisor anymore to look at the schmatic, so I cant give you any continuity tests. You will have to figure that out on your own.

Do your hydraulics enable. If so you need not worry about the above trouble shooting

If both of your switches seem to be operating then you should look at your park brake solenoid. If I remember correctly the parkbrake valve should be on the LH side of the pumps (looking in with cab raised) and the two speed on the right. You should pull the wires on the park brake solenoid and ohm it out. It should have somewhere between 15 and 30 ohms. If it reads 0 then you have a bad solenoid. Your wiring harness to the solenoid will have two wires. One is power and the other is signal to tell the monior the location of the solenoid

If the soleniod checks good then you should suspect wiring problems. A visual inspection is always good. Often a pinch can be seen and repaired to solve a problem.

It is also possible that your park brake switch is bad, a bad relay, or even you monitor (not likley)

This is the theory of operation:

Battery power to monitor-monitor checks for engine running/seat switch/seat belt, and then powers park brake switch-finger touches momentary switch witch sends signal to park brake solenoid-park brake solenoid sends signal back to monitor to relay its location.

If you need a wiring schematic your friendly Deere dealer may help you out. If not you may want to purchase a service manual.

There is actually a cable on the LH (looking in) with a 5 pin weather pack connector. This cable is located about where your right hip would be if the cab was down and you were sitting in the seat. This will be capped and zip tied to the wall of the ROPS. This is actually for a remote start box. Witout a schematic I cant remember which one does what, but with a multimeter you can figure it out. One wire goes to the batt which is hot all the time. One goes to the fuel shut-off solenoid. One goes to the park brake solenoid. One goes to the starter solenoid. You can essentialy start the machine and enable the park brake. If your park brake will click off then you have eliminated several problems.

All of this is assuming that you have an older CT332 using the "servo" style pumps. If you have a brand new 332 joystick control with EH controls and an H1 pump post back for different trouble shooting.


If times get bad you can even give me a call (931) 797-0626 while looking at the machine to help you identify parts and trouble shoot.

If I could remember all I have forgotten we would be in great shape. LOL

JD skidsteer CT322
The lockup seems to be in the hydraulics. Awaiting arrival of service manual. Unit drives a short time but keeps getting slower, like the brakes are setting. If you run the bucket up and down a few times it will then drive again for a time. Thank you for your input, the local Deere service folks haven't been very helpful.

Is there any warranty left on it ? Does the loader operate as it should or is it weak... Sounds like it may be expensive if theres no warranty left... even so I'd push the issue with the dealer if its a major hydraulic failure.... it wouldnt be the first time its happened on one of those

I am not fimilar with CT322 but I do recall JD skidloaders were mfg by New Holland and continued to use their design for a few years. You may have a broken drive chain that wad"s up in the side case and acts like the brakes will not release. If it"s only locked up on one side this may be the cause.

Any indicator lights on ? seat presence/seatbelt switch etc? If the lights on either the seat switch isnt activated or the seat belt switch isnt closed. Or maybe the solenoid for the park brake release is disconnected or defective.
