Hi all - Approx. a year ago a co-worker purchased a JD 3720 with cab, A/C, FEL, Rearmount snowblower, cab heater, 4X4. It has 150 hours on it. He has complained a couple of times of lousy fuel economy and smokey exhaust. I have never seen this - I'm taking his word for it. Let me add that this guy takes care of his equipment maticulously, never over works it. He has also complained that the exhaust "stinks", he was unable to give a better description of it. He also stated the other day he thought he saw raw fuel come from the exhaust pipe. It exhasuts below the engine. He also said the FEL frame had blackened due to either smokey exhaust or the unburned fuel. He called the local dealer from whom he purchased the tractor and they took it away to see what is going on. He received a call from them te other day and they report there is nothing wrong with it. He finds this unaccpetable as I do. I have 2000 JD 4500 that I purchased new in year 2000 and it has been running great since the day it was delivered. I don't know if the exhaust problem and fuel problem are "normal" for this tractor. Can someone offer any advise? Thanks, Roger
