Hello! Let's see if we can work together and come to a satisfactory conclusion!
You want to manually release the park brake? On the park brake housing, there are two bolts with
nuts, the nuts are loosened, and the bolts screwed in , to release the brake discs.

I see question is still open, did you see my response?
The John Deere 310SJ parking brake solenoid is located on the transmission control valve, specifically
on the synchro shuttle. It's often found on the top of the transmission, and you can access it by
removing the rubber floor mat and floor plate near the brake pedals. There are two solenoids in that
area, one for the forward/reverse and the other for the parking brake.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
• Location:
Top of the transmission, within the transmission control valve on the synchro shuttle.
• Access:
Remove the rubber floor mat and floor plate near the brake pedals to access the top of the
transmission.
• Identification:
You'll find two solenoids: one for forward/reverse and one for the parking brake.
• Function:
The parking brake solenoid releases the parking brake when energized by the machine's electrical
system.
• Troubleshooting:
If the parking brake isn't releasing, you can test for power at the solenoid and check for any wiring or
switch issues.
This video demonstrates how to operate the parking brake on a John Deere 310g:
Use a voltage tester with the ignition switch in the on position, test each fuse wall replacing any fuse
with power only on one side. Swap your relays one at a time with a known good one for testing
purposes. Check your parking brake switch for power in/out and wiring for any type of corrosion or
damage that would cause a short or open circuit. Thoroughly inspect the wiring and connector pins
going to the parking brake release solenoid and verify that you have battery voltage going to the
solenoid to read at least the brake. If there is power and ground there but the park brake is not
responding, it leans towards either a faulty solenoid or a problem with the parking brake assembly
itself having potential mechanical failure.
The park brake is released by trans charge pressure. The solenoids are one top of trans. Remove the
rubber mat and floor plate by the brake pedals to see the top of trans. Swap the park brake #7 and
different lock #8 solenoids they are the same p/n. Remember to blow all the dirt off around them so
it does not fall down in trans. If your problems goes to different lock circuit then you know it's the
solenoid. You can also ohm them and they should be the same resistance when they are unplugged.
Hope this helps! Have a great day and stay safe!

Not getting power to number 7 solenoid. Unplugged and applied battery voltage directly to solenoid
and it worked. Brake released fine indicating solenoid and brake mechanics function properly. Need
to get voltage to solenoid.
Hi my name is***** will be glad to try to help you out. The first thing you want to do is test for
power on both sides of each one of your fuses with the ignition switch in the on position replacing
any fuse with power only on one side. Swap your relays one at a time with a known good one for
testing purposes. It is very possible that you could have a problem with your relay or a fuse. Check
for continuity in both the open and close position of your parking brake switch and wiring for any
open circuits or shorts. Also check at your parking brake assembly for any potential mechanical
problems causing the part brake to stick or a parking brake that is worn out of specifications and in
need of replacement. Click on this link below to reference the online parts catalog for your model
and serial number in order to assist you with component locations when troubleshooting. Reply back
with the results of these checks if any further help is needed. It's a pleasure to help anyway I can.
Okay. Let me see if I can look that up for you.
