How do you have your winch wired? Are you taking it's power directly from the battery?
With no load the specs say it pulls 21 amps and at full capacity it's drawing 178 amps. Your electrical...
Very nice looking bed.
Now post some pictures of your pulling tractor. What class do you run? When I was a kid we lived near the Millers (Jim is now the Event Producer for NTPA) and my dad...
What model Gator do you have?
You said the wear button had come off in the same sentence you mentioned the old clutch. Did the wear button come out of your new or old clutch?
What engine did you put in your Gator? What have you tested so far? Will the engine idle indefinitely or does it eventually die? How much throttle are you driving with when it dies?
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...
Where does the sound come from? Is it in the front or rear of the vehicle? Does the "snap" sound metalic?
I did not include the diagram. You click on the word "this" which is a different color.
Does this exploded parts diagram help?
Turn off the engine. If it shifts with the engine off it's a good indication that your primary/drive clutch is sticking. You can replace the clutch with a new one but a better option is to have...
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...
Please tell more about the carrier for your lawnmower. It looks like it's powered or somehow helps you lift the mower.
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...
I don't know of anyone specializing in used Gator parts. I would do some thorough web searches as misc parts are often listed for sale on forums and Ebay. You can also keep an eye on...
If you decide to lube your existing cable getting the cable assembly itself in and out isn't difficult. Getting access to it is the worst part but most of the threading from front to back can be...
You can lube the throttle cable. It's best done with the cable removed so you can hang it vertically to let gravity help distribute the lubricant.
...
Keep an eye on it and be on the lookout for difficult shifting. If it's difficult to shift into or out of gear don't force the lever which can damage the shift linkage and the transmission. If you...
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 wouldn't first go to rings. Instead I would think maybe a blown head gasket. Something that engine is known for.
Did you check the compression or do a leak down test?
The front and rear rims are a different width on my 550. I have mounted tires on different width rims (plus or minus a couple inches) without trouble as far as getting the tire on the rim. I have...
Is that really how far the plow is in front of your Gator?
