I've seen a few white ones. One was a brick head. Possibly had blue lettering, but I maybe remembering that wrong. I'd love to add a brick head to the collection, green or white, don't really care. There was also a model built specifically for a retail chain in Canada called Canadian Tire. It had kind of a light brown or tan deck with a two stroke Lawn Boy motor with a brown shroud. Probably next to impossible to find.

 

My memories half working. Google refreshed the other half

 

I am a cub nut. Not much into the newer ones, but don't know much about them but I do like the older international disigned ones. They are certainly well built.
Hydrostatic transmission, power steering, hydraulic lift with front remotes.

 

I have a newer XT3 I mow with and 2 3000 series. They are shaft drive with expandable hydraulic circuits, hydraulic steering and deck lift, and shaft drive decks. One has a loader and hydraulic rear hitch. I pull a brush hog with the other one. Finished stripping the paint today. This is a 3205 with a liquid cooled Kawasaki and pulls the hog.

 

I think the 3000 series shares the same hydraulic steering and lift system with mine. I have an air cooled Magnum 20, 1010 hrs. liquid cooled would be nice!!

 

Yours has 200lbs on mine as well. 3000s are 800lbs without the deck. My 3240 ballasted out with the loader on is 1500lbs.

Here are my 3 amigos. Did some brushhogging with the tow Swisher. My lower field was up about 16" high.

I h ad a Lawnboy once. Didn't like the right front wheel placement...I always dug the front discharge into a lawn lump and the back end would lift up off the ground. Only fgractions of a second from shoving a toe into the blade a few times. I gave it to my b-i-law, he still uses it.

 

Finally got a few hours to put my MF back together. Was planning to split it but just have no time. It’s been sitting near my basement taken apart for months...almost a year.

Replacing gauges on this machine is a proper sonofa B so I dragged the plasma out real quick and got busy for about 3 minutes.
Now I have access through the battery compartment, MUCH easier!!!

Edit: I do have a new set of gauges for it. Unfortunately, over the winter some water got into the Tach "tractormeter" and seized it, then when I hooked up the tach cable it snapped the cable. Ugh. Hoping some Kroil will free it up, new tach cable on the way. I'll install the new water temp, oil pressure, voltmeter and fuel gauge (still need a sending unit) and be all up and running.

 

3720 First rollover. Flipped it 90 degrees on its side. Lost a quart of oil out of a breather tube as it lay. Righted it with a chain host attached to a tree 60 feet uphill. Amazing how things got haywire so dang fast. Zero damage on me or the tractor. Gotta be thankful tonight.

 

Glad you didn’t get hurt

 

Sheesh! That tractor is on such a hard angle, Looks darn sketchy from the angle shown in the picture..... glad nobody got hurt... live and learn were you trying to pull something ? Trying to figure out what actually happened that it tipped the tractor on its side

 

Glad you're OK. Was in slo mo wasn't it?

 

Man, glad you got out of it unscathed. How much ballast weight are you running on that tractor?

 

Have at least 1500 hours of time on a JD 4310 with no issues. Then I bought this cab 3720 last year. So today I was clearing pricker bushes for a dual sport trainer this weekend. Went down a hill on a road I built (A down hill switch back with a hill up to my right and a drop down on my left. ) In the photo I was digging the edge of the hill to the right of my bucket just prying in hard where there was a nasty, bastard briar bush. The roots wouldn’t budge until I put full force on the bucket UP. Then the roots snapped too easily and my bucket lurched up violently. It almost caused me to flip and I did what my instincts told me to do: bury the bucket into the ground. But I had moved a few inches forward and my bucket hit the hillside flipping me like a stink bug on a spatula. It’s probably hard to understand the dynamics from how I’m describing it. Suffice to say, the beast went over and timbered like a worm wood oak tree. I had the seat belt fastened but I still whacked my head on cab glass. Then I was on my side, shutting off the engine with one thought in my head.....my wife is gonna freaking kill me. Little blood still coming out of my ear, but no other symptoms. After an hour the tractor was in my driveway, running again with no worse for the wear. Me, I had me a glass of Chalk Hill Chardonnay to calm the nerves. Thanks for the thoughts and commentary and likes/ whatnot. Can’t tell any real buddies cause they’d eviscerate me mercilessly.

 

So you flipped yourself by driving the bucket down onto an incline? I can see that.
Glad you're good Bonus that the tractor's good too

 

I just gotta modify everything. Added the eBay bumper to my mower.

 

Good investment. You'll save breaking your hood with the bumper on.

 

Glad you’re alright, brother. Go get yourself checked out if ya start feeling off. Head injuries and whiplash are no joke.

live and learn. Maybe think about some liquid ballast in the rear tires if you don’t haven’t already. Hills and front tractor axles get sketchy REAL fast.

Heal quickly!
