There is a rebuilt plate on the back of the gator.

I think that when the Deluxe cab was installed. I cannot tell when happened.

How cool is that. Still can't understand why the M Gator is John Deere green and not OD. Speaking of John Deere green, since we have the ears of a corporate dude, will you please tell Horicon Works or where ever these are made to do a better job cleaning the laser cut parts before paint! They don't remove the laser dross and then the paint peels like in the picture! My garage kept Z trak is doing the same thing!

There are variations of color on M Gator (as far as I know after I got this one. I am not an expert in any aspects). The chassis is still green as showed in the pictures. These 3 pictures are from the same gator. The olive drab is just on plastic parts. Some of them even painted tan over both frame and plastic parts.

I just started the tear down process.
The front signal lights were broken. So they need to go and I don't think I will replace them.

Tail lights are in the way of lifting the bed up and I cannot service engine easily.

There is water dropping from the heater. There must be a leak or loose camp. I will fix it when I flush the cooling system.

Then I have to change motor oil and oil filter before I can start it up. I will fix both electrical and mechanical issues. Then I will deal with rust and paint in the spring. I just need it to plow the snow this winter.

The first round of engine bay cleaning. It looks a lot batter. I just want to see what, where is leaking when I start up the engine.

BigMike has a Gator. Maybe he can chip in here and help.

if its fuel, its likely the rubber fuel lines. Mine were original to the Gator when I got it. The lines even had the date of 2000 on them.

I have TM1804 (2000) if you want. Pm me. Too big to upload here. Most of it is the same as later years, including the Yanmar engine.
