Hello. New to the forum, but the advice is very useful. Just purchased a well used JD 2007 CT322 with over 4,000 hours. It is running well and I did a full service on it last week. When trying to access the pumps under the operator station, the cab would only open about two feet. Neighbor brought over his tractor and we were able to get it to open. Turned out the prior owner must have never opened it. It has so much debris between the frame and the cab that it wouldn't budge. Anyways, got that cleaned out. IN the process, we pulled the right hand control out of position. I'm guessing it hung up on the seat as it swiveled up. Nothing is bent, loose or broken. The problem is the handles do not line up even though they are in neutral for starting. The right one is about six inches closer to the door. When you push forward on the right hand control it only moves three inches before hitting the glass door. It will go in reverse about four inches further back then the left control. The unit will only creep at a crawl or turn in circles. I've looked at the linkages, greased and lubed everything. There is a difference in resistance. The right seems easier to move, but I have only driven it twice for a few minutes, so won't sear that this is new. I cannot figure out what to adjust. Your help would be appreciated.
