John deere 3020 3 point controls

[NathanD]

I have recenlty purchased a 3020 gas tractor and i wonder what could be the reason or reasons that the lift arms lever on the dash would bind up and not move at all? And where would the oil, fuel, air, and hyd. filters be on located on the tractor?


Thanks Nathan

I has a similar problem with my 4020 and found some mud dobber nests impairing the lever function. Keep the area clean and lubed with WD40 or similar. The oil and hyd filter should be on the left (driver) side of the tractor. The oil filter is under a plate (4 bolts) toward the rear of the engine. The hyd filter is under the seat just in front of the rear wheel under a round cover that unscrews. The fuel filters are on the right side mid engine and the primer is just in front of it. The air filter should be oul bath located under the left side access panel behind the fuel tank. Clean this and the bowl at the inlet.

If serial number is below 123,000 then 3pt is controlled by a cable attached to lever on the dash. This cable has a history of getting dirty/rusty. Sometimes a new cable is in order if penetrating oil doesn't solve the problem.

I've had to replace this cable on my 4020. It is one of those tasks that takes some time but was not very difficult. Be prepared for sticker shock - couldn't believe they got that kind of money for a short length of cable...

Sorry missed gas in your post. Some of my info may not be relevant as my 4020 is diesel.

Thank you all for the info! This is our first time owning a john deere tractor, but we've always had a 14t baler.

3 pt control linkage on a gasoline & diesel are identical.

Ok thanks. I had given some input regarding filters that may differ gas to diesel. I need to learn to read closer/slower!

late to the conversation,but deep creep might work for awhile, but
i needed to replace the cable about $100 and a couple of hours

Fuel filters on a gasoline and diesel are different but hyd filter are the same.
