Take a look behind the front wheels of your Gator. You should see the shaft coming out the back of the wheel and two black rubber boots. Inspect the boots for holes or cracks. They keep grease in...

Define "best value". For a proper brand name light that you won't have to worry about I'd go with Rigid brand lights especially if you will using the Gator in the rain. I've have been using them...

Nice photos. I think a lot of people forget that the Gators originally were work vehicles and the play part is a recent addition.

Very nice carrier.

I visited your blog and it made me think I need to go to the Netherlands once in summer. I'm familiar with November - February weather but it might be nice to once see fields...

I think a lot has to do with the type of vehicle. It's not like a car that gets damaged in a wreck and leaves a lot of good usable parts on the market. There isn't much that damages your type Gator...

Can you describe more how "you can feel it shift into gear"? If moving the shift lever feels like it used to then I suspect you have a clutch problem.

If you are having trouble with the Gator not...

I made some out of sheet plastic for my 550. I held up a piece of cardboard to trace out the shape I wanted. Cut the cardboard to test the fit then used it as a template for the plastic. You could...

I was about to post then I checked and see you are following on the other forum. I am very curious to see pictures about the engine and who makes it. 586cc inline twin, liquid cooled making 32hp. ...

There's always one in every crowd.

I just wanted you to be aware that you might not get a ton of replies as most of our toys are larger.

This a forum for the real, adult sized Gators.

I've helped several friends and family get used electric toy ones running. In most cases they just needed a battery and it's easy to hack them to...

Most commonly it's one of two things or both. First check to make sure the engine is not idling too fast. If the idle speed is correct then the other fix is to replace the drive clutch. A no cost...

It turned out to not be a broken cable. The pin connecting the cable to the brake was missing.

On the plus side I have been wondering for a long time why there were two cables going to the...

Winches are very basic. There are two wires. As long as you get a 12 VDC winch that consumes about the same amount of power your existing wiring should be good.

When I was shopping for winches...

One thing I find helpful are some "critter straps" I sewed up out of 1" webbing. I sewed a loop in both ends of a piece of webbing. You thread the strap through one of the loops forming a choker...

I've altered my 12v cigarette socket. I gave it heavier wiring and fuse to make it a proper 15amp source for my heated window defogger. I just use a USB adapter plugged into the cigarette port...

I've been down in Florida hunting. After a very successful morning hog hunting several of us were kicked back relaxing. B who owns the swamp buggy asked if we wanted to go for a ride. We all pile on....

If I had mod privileges there would be a lot of deleting and banning going on. It's just crapping up the forum. When I first came here it seemed to get more posts than the other forum. Now I check...

Installation is surprisingly easy if you have a comfy shop to work. Jack the Gator up and support it securely. Remove the wheel. Then unbolt the suspension components. Then I think it's a sharp...

The parking brake and regular brakes are totally different systems and in no way related. The regular brakes are sorta similar to a car where a hydraulic master cylinder at top of the pedal on the...

Since there have been complaints that the 825 rev's too high when driving around I wanted to point out that there is a trade off if you change the spring. A lighter spring will allow the clutch to...

Heck, the way you are going through it I'm waiting to see pictures of the crank & cam.

I know what you mean about axle seals. I replaced one on my father's Artic Cat. It was a real bugger to get in as it was a much tighter fit than I anticipated. It just doesn't seem right to go for...

WOW! I am amazed that you even attempted that and even more surprised that it came out so well. Are you nearing the end of "things that need to be done" for your Gator?

Boy you are having a spat of bad luck.

Doing work like you are doing is tough if you are not doing it all the time. You hate to spend the money for high quality, specialized tools because you may...
