240 John Deere
Hello new to this site but here is a question . How do you raise the cab the travel control arms want go forward far enough , cab will only raise about 10" then hits the arms and boots. Removed step and front panel in front of seat.
Thanks

Assuming the 240 is similar to the 260 when you raise the cab the arms fold forward to clear. If true maybe they are sticking and need some encouragement to fall forward out of the way of the cab.

My CT322 will catch on the lock knob on the right lever for the handle that pivots to control the auxiliary ports. I have to start lifting the cab and the use one hand to pull that lever forward more to clear.

Nope figured it out the hard way after lifting up the cab about 8" and blocking it we took the arms out completely then lifted the cab all the way up, and found there is one bolt behind each stick that you remove and then stick and linkages all fall forward.

Glad you got it figured out. No mention of needing to remove bolts to get them to fall forward in my manual. Good to know.

I looked every where and couldnt find any mention of it , all turned out good and customer is happy , now on to a kubota svl95-2s

Just a follow up on this for anyone searching they don't typically have the bolts installed as hatchequip found. Installing the bolts is part of the service procedure AFTER the cab is raised. The cab holds them in position when in use and when servicing with the cab raised and using the remote start box you first return them to the operation position and install the bolts to hold them in place while servicing.
