does anyone know if they make a heat houser(soft sided) for compact JD 3720

Not sure if anyone will remember the old canvas heat housers we use to install for winter use on farm tractors. But i recently got a JD 3720 w/FEL and would like to add a heat houser for it.


thanks

Here's a link but I did not see the 3720 on their list
Try a search for heat houser for other makers.

I don't think they work well on smaller tractors compared to larger ag tractors. Had one on my JD 5300 when I bought it. It never seemed to send much heat/air back to the operator. On our older ag tractors, you could definitely feel some heat when the engine was warm and feel the air blown back on the operator. I believe the smaller engines just don't produce enough heat and the radiator fan doesn't push enough air to be effective. 3720 is even smaller than 5300. They do however, help keep the wind off of the operator.
Most of the units are now made of reinforced, flexible plastic rather than canvas but otherwise function and fit the same.

What about a heater core/fan assembly out of an old car or truck mounted near fender/under seat or somewhere, connected to your cooling system. I know some Gallion R/T cranes had this type setup mounted under seat. At least it would keep your feet warm and gave you a place to warm up your hands.
