JD 3720 cab noise

[DP Property]

Built a home for the 3720
shelterlogic at Canadian tire $699.99 I really like- makes my front look neater also and I am sure the neighbours appreciate that also.

Have watch the video and have not fallen asleep. Real nice machine, however, I notice that you were doing the job at full RPM (2900). You may have your reason, but if not I would suggest a lower RPM. 2300 is usually fast enough to do the job you were doing. I never or rarely go over the PTO limit. JMO. :thumbsup:

Gotta love these cabs. WOT and can enjoy the tunes beside! I leave my back window unlatched so the doors can be closed easier.

I have a '07 3320 and mine has the same noise. I'm thinking it's the cab bolts but haven't had time do dig for them. If you find the problem please post. I'll do the same. We'll just have to see who gets the time first .........

ok but has your cab had the noises on bumbs ever since you have owned it or did it start at a later date? I only have 22 hours on mine now and will try today and find out where the cab bolts are and what they should be tourqued to.

Hi,

The bolt locations are shown in the back of the owners manual. I think the torque is right around 125 ft/Lbs

Nice new tractor congratulations.:thumbsup:

Have to agree with Henri about the 2900 rpms' is way too fast, I do that sort of work at 1500 to 1800 rpms.

FWIW, it looks like you were spreading 3/4" gravel, I have found that it is best to use base course with 3/4" to fines and pack that in first. Then put a layer of clean 3/4" gravel on top about one rock high. This way you don't have all the tracks in your driveway. Too much clean gravel on top and the vehicles are constantly plowing through the gravel.

ok thanks not used to the new machine yet thought for the loader work should be higher but I guess the load match takes care of that a really nice feature.
