I just had my 3720 serviced for the rockshaft gasket recall. It was delivered on Saturday and I put it in its stall of the garage. I was using the tractor today and noticed that the parking brake light does not illuminate when the lever is pulled. It did before the tractor was picked up by the...

Below are some pictures I took of my first coolant change on my 2009 3720. The procedure is on pages 62-63 of the manual. I elected to not do the flush, as a co-worker of mine who works on Deeres as a side job said it is not as necessary as just plain getting rid of the old fluid. He explained...

Hey Folks: My 3720 manual says to drain water from the fuel filter bowl daily to avoid premature engine failure. There is nothing in my manual to describe how to "drain the water". Can anyone tell me what they do on a 3720 to comply with this? Thanks, Scott

Hey guys: I have a 2009 3720 that is 14 months old from date of sale. I am trying to clean out the fuel sediment bowl, but am having a bear of a time getting the large knurled knob to turn. I am turning it counterclockwise as per the instructions, but the only thing I do is slowly bend the...

My owner's manual says to change every year or 400 hours the fuel filter. Is this the whiite plastic filter in the water separator or the metal spin-on filter, or both? Thanks, Scott

A quick question for those that have experience with the 3000 Twenty series. The manual shows that the left and right tie rod and steering cylinder ball joints need to be greased as well as the zerk fittings on the 3PH. I don't see on the front end any zerk fittings to grease, so how are these...

Hopefully I'm not showing my ignorance. I have a JD 3720 with a 300CX FEL that I just got recently. Looking through the manual for the loader, it presents on page 35-4 a picture and discussion about the bucket level indicator. I don't have one of these on my FEL. Is this an option? If it is, is...

I'm still new to tractor ownership, and even though this is a dumb question, I have to ask. I have a JD3720 with IMatch Quickhitch attached to a Frontier RC2060 cutter. When the tractor sits level in my garage, after disconnecting the PTO shaft from the tractor and lowering the 3PH all the way...

Hi folks, I'm a new tractor owner (JD 3720/300CX FEL/Frontier RC2060 cutter) and have been curious about one thing in particular. Does anyone know the maximum slope allowed before the JD3720 will roll over? I see TractorByNet sells a tiltmeter, but without knowing the critical angle that the...

Has anyone lately had luck trying to download the Compact Tractor Buying & Basics book put out by this website? The link to purchase the book is a deadend and I have emailed the webmaster twice, but so far I have not gotten any response. It sounds like a good guide, but without the ability to...
