My 3720 reverse pedal started to stick and catch kinda. Has a squeeky sound with it too. Still works but requires a touch more pressure to move it. Forward pedal is fine:confused:

Thawed the tractor out COMPLETELY last nite in the shop thinking maybe ice had built up somewhere on it, no luck. What and where do I proceed from here??

Thanks:drink:

Clean and lubricate the pedal linkage, it may also have a piece of gravel or something similar jambing it.

Sounds like you may need to lubricate the pivot points of your directional pedals.:cool:

Thanks. So to access the pivot points you remove the black plastic box underneath the tractor, or from inside under the floor mat?

The cover should come off from the bottom.

Crawl under, observe what is moving and spray pivots liberally with JB 80. Works for me and there was nothing to remove on mine.

Your loader joystick and brake pedal pivots are next...

On edit: I'll have to check mine out and see if either my guard got ripped off, removed for accessory installation, or if the earlier models did not have one.
