    Fan Clutch leaking

    I replaced my fan clutch by removing the radiator stack. After installing the new clutch and fan, I could not imagine doing the job without removing the radiator. I have disconnected and reconnected a new hose for the fan clutch without removing the radiator.

    New high back seats???

    It has been a while since I put the high back seats in. I drilled out the rivets to remove the drivers seat base. Installing a new drivers seat base is the way to go.

    mules and the Gator

    I have a great radar detector (valentine 1) I can detect them before they know I am on their radar. So there were no citations. the general public generally waved or honked their horns as they or I passed by.

    mules and the Gator

    Follow up. I made the trip to Findlay and back. About 10 hours each way. Was well worth the trip. Met up with old friends and meg some new ones as well. The trailer tracks perfectly with the 6.7 diesel running at 80. The gator got a good work out as well. Here it is resting between runs.

    Gator issues

    Madmedic, unhappy with the results when I test painted one of the damaged fenders I opted to stay green. Although the paint covered the plastic, it would not be permanent. Here I go defying gravity again! Here is the gator at Findlay

    Gator issues

    Thanks Jacobsk for the info. tha gator appears to be running fine now. Originally, I wanted to go with tan plastic and paint the gator tan but the JD dealer could not supply tan fenders.

    12/24v Trailer Lights

    I bought a bunch of complete led round Amber side marker lights at a show. Needed the red ones, went to napa with the amber one and they found the truck lite red insert. Swapped out the LEDs and mounted them on the trailer.

    Regulator trouble

    If the governor is stuck and will not turn at all, carb cleaner followed by a soaking of oil may loosen it up. If you cannot spin it with your fingers, you may need to replace the governor. Make sure you replace the gasket between the governor and the block or you will have an annoying oil...

    Regulator trouble

    Regulator? Are you referring to the governor? It is located at the rear of the engine connected to the carburetor by a linkage. If so, start by lubricating the pivot points. If that does not work, remove it from the linkage, remove the 4 screws that hold it to the block. If it is filled...
