john deere gator

Hi, help. A friend of mine owns this Gator, uses it on the farm for chores. Last week on a run to the burn pile after she turned this off it would not restart. Thinking it ran out of gas she filled the tank making no difference. It had not run out of gas. I looked at it today checking the...

My old gator I believe 90s. Model need to clutch but I can find no identification numbers. Tags are all gone. Can you help me identify this? So I can get a clutch.

I purchased a 1998 -2x4 gator used a couple years ago. It ran and started fine at purchase. I hardly use it, so naturally it never starts after setting 6 months at a time. I take the carb apart, clean & always get it running. I would like to do a rebuild on the motor. Is there a known place...

My 2008 Gator windshield has become very crazed to the point where I can't see out of it. I removed it and called my JD dealer...the dealer suggested I get an aftermarket windshield as they are super expensive from JD. I was surprised by this answer. Can anyone recommend a good aftermarket...

I am getting lost in the specs, prices, and options for a full-size UTV. A $25K model isn't really an option. I have used my friend's cabbed Kubota RTV1100C a lot at my place and find it to be really heavy and low-slung. It also struggles a bit on the sloped ground in addition to sinking to...

Guys, I have an opportunity to buy a 2006 JD HPX. It is in pristine condition for a 2006. I has just under 500 hours, It has the 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel engine, automated dump bed, windshield, plastic canopy, LED lights in front and back. They are asking 10K. Do think this is a good deal?

Know this site is mostly about tractors. But looking for any assistance on finding the year and model of a JD gator my son has. The only numbers we could find are on the engine decals. It’s a 2 x4 with dump bed. Thanks to anyone that might know. Pics attached

I have one of these. It's a 2006 if I remember right. No idea what model. It's used at a facility I manage so it's not my personal machine. It has the starter button on the gas pedal, and whenever you stop the engine shuts off by design. I'd like to change that so it has a regular...

Hi Y'all. Quick question, does anyone know for certain, whether a 2006 Gator LX would have a positive ground system. We picked up a Gator, and noticed some peculiar things, the bed and winch controls run backwards. The battery is low. I was going to put it on charge, and noticed the red wires...

I致e owned it about 2-1/2 years. Only a couple quirks. One of my first videos, so be kind🤪 John Deere Gator XUV 590-I Review - YouTube

Any new JD gator buyers? Were you able to get dealer to discount? Percent off? :confused:

I have a 98 John Deere Gator Diesel that has starting problems. It will turn over and spin just fine but will not always crank. Finally took it to the dealership and after a month I got it back. Diagnosis was a some corrosion on the starter solenoid connection. We drove it on the trailer and...

I had posted before about my desire to get a Kubota X1140. Wife finally got to see one and did not like the seating. So we looked at a 2019 Gator 825 S4, 4 seater and she loved it. Nice machine, obviously not the same work horse the Kubota would be, but that’s OK. We currently have a 4x2...

We have a 2014 625I Gator. Having problems with the fuel supply system. Has been to the JD shop 3 times and tomorrow makes 4 !! It starts fine and idles good. After it warms up it will not accelerate when you press the gas pedal. They replaced the TPS sensor and cleaned the throttle body. No...

Can someone tell me what size is the nut for the front wheel on a john Deere 4 x 2 gator? Its 2000-2005 Thank you

There must be a trick to this. I just acquired this vehicle with low hours. I have been dumping dirt and clay out of the dump bed (manual), maybe 300 pounds at a time, keeping the weight toward the rear to get some leverage. Last trip out I perhaps had too much weight toward the back so that...

Could someone please give a little help on changing starter on gator 620i..I've read other forums and not accurate info..would rather hear it from someone who has gator 620i

Just got a 2000 6x4 gas Gator. Battery looks and acts a bit suspect so I am going to replace it. It looks like the battery can come out easily through the back of the engine compartment without lifting the bed, but the battery strap appears to connect on the under-bed side and not the rear...

I need the pipe style beacon light mount that goes on the back of the hard cab of a JD gator. Was also used on a few other JD machines. This is the style where the revolving light slides down onto the mount, the electrical connections are inside the mount and the light clamps to it. I have...

I was looking on ebay for the plastic type windshields for the Gator, i don't want a solid one, just something to get through the winter months. Has anyone ordered one or know of a good source for these? Thanks Ronnie

JD Gator Power Bed Lift/Dump My power unit to the bed dump came completely apart, 5 bolts stripped out and parts lost over acres. I'm looking for a replacement used one off a wrecked or parted out similar unit. I believe 1998 to 2004 are all the same (all have square headlights). I'd like...

Can anyone give me some details on this snow plow? I picked it up at an auction because I thought I got a good price on it, but don't really know much about it. I figured it would fit a Gator since it's a six foot plow. What models would it fit and what is it worth? Thanks for the help.

I just wanted to show the gator 825i in some snow. I think the snow was about 6 inches deep. Does anyone else have any utv in snow videos? John deere gator in snow: https://youtu.be/c44qojdsyY8

Got a beat up old, maybe 97, John Deere Gator 4x2 that had a bad engine. Bought a new engine from small engine warehouse, a FE250D-AS11. put it in and hooked it up wrong and blew the coil. Pulled the old coil out of the old engine, swapped it out and fixed the wiring mistake, engine fired...

I've got a diesel gator 6x4 with a worn out secondary clutch. I bought a new clutch but I can't get the old one off. It has a cap screw on the end, manual says it has left hand threads - it's stuck on so tight (trying to turn it clockwise) I'm afraid I'm going to twist the screw off then I'll...

I've been searching the web for a Service -Repair Manual for a John Deere Gator, 6x4 gas engine probably made in the 90's. Deere's site is unresponsive unless I give a model # (which I don't have) and it looks like the only other hope is E-bay. I'm sure someone has faced this problem before...

The plow works great but the control stops working occasionally when pushing hard, especially with a big load in front of the plow. It returns to normal after about 1-2 minutes. Is there an overload device on the hydraulics? Is it adjustable?

My Gator 4 X 2 would not turn over so I tried the electric lift to see if the Battery was the issue. It lifted up and back down but slower than normal. I then noticed the hot wire from the battery to the starter was broken at the battery connector. The wires to the electric lift were ok so I...

In the hopes that JD Gator designers read these posts ... I'm tall - 6'5", but with relatively short legs - 34" inseam. Today I sat in several JD Gators and found the leg room at the driver seat to range from completely unusable (can't lift/bend leg enough to reach the brake pedal) to very...

A farm worker ran my 6x4 diesel dry. After refueling, filling the fuel filter bowl full and pressing the lever on the fuel transfer pump hundred of times, it still will not start. Obviously starved for fuel. What else can I do? The technical manual says that the system is self priming but the...

My O2 John Deere Gator CX 4X2 is in need of replacement seats. The yellow foam inserts have separated from the black plastic backing. I have not been confident that the after market seats will work as a replacement since this seat version tilts on a pivot and does not have a bolt pattern...

Anyone made there own lift kit for the cargo box. JD wants a small fortune for the kit.

My gator the latch that holds the bed down and to open keeps coming out. I heard a rattle and went to open the bed and found it was not locked. The metal bar was hanging under the gator. I keep putting it back and it stays for just a short time and then falls out again. I don't see what holds...

This is a 3007 series gator with a 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. I had it out working hauling firewood, it was running great with no problems and I crushed the right tail light. After I shut the machine down it failed to return to life again. It will start and run a few seconds (good and...

We are considering an XUV550, and would like to get some other folk's impressions. We are also considering Kubota RTV500 or 400Ci. There is some info on this forum about the XUV550, but not so much -- I believe it's only been out for a year or so? Our purpose is for use around an 11-acre...

Our Gator gets used at night on very dark, unsealed country roads. It has headlights but no tail light. We have had trucks almost tailgating us, so I am adding a large single LED tail light under the tray. I plan to tap into the headlight wiring loom, but a JD Gator wiring diagram that in fact...

Hi, For starters I lied a little when i filled out the registration here. I don't own 100+ acres, I work there, but there wasn't a category for that. My friend owns the farm/ranch here near Carson City NV. She's a hard working gal and I wan to help her out. She has a 6X4 gator with a blown...

Hello all! My first post at the forum here. I've been lurking for a while now, doing some research on buying a UTV for some land my wife and I just purchased. I really went back and forth between the Polaris Ranger 800 and the JD Gator 825i. I like the workhorse qualities of the JD, but...

Does anyone have a Curtiss Tuck-away heater installed in a Gator? I would like to know where it mounts and if it has defrost.

I have a Diesel John Deere Gator w/ ~540 hours of use. A few days ago, it started running very rough, and was emitting white smoke from the exhaust. After running rough for a couple minutes, it would cut off. I replaced the fuel filter after doing some basic research, it didn't help. What I...

I need to find a electrical diagram for a John Deere Gator TH6X4 I appreciate any help. Thank You

Is the only choice for a gator with diesel engine the XUV 855D? I really want diesel, so just asking what the basic starting model is. I guess I also want power steering and a power dump box. Maybe a canopy and the nicest seats too. Camo looks cool, I like that. Any other suggestions...

A guy I work with has a 2006 John Deere gator HPX 4x4 with the gas engine and ROPS, it has 300 some hours and it has the electric dump. It's been taken care of really well, always garage kept. He's asking $5000.00 and I think he may come down a little more. Looking around on the Internet it...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and to tractors/farm equipment in general. I have owned a diesel Dodge truck for many years so I do have some understanding of the differences between diesel and gas. My wife and I are buying a small horse property here in Albuquerque that already has the...

I have an older 4x2 Gator. It runs great and saves me a ton of work around the house. It even gets out on the farm to help sometimes. Since I have owned it, the rack and pinion has been acting up. When I turn all the way left it "skips". Guessing it is a bad tooth. Before I break down and buy a...

Whose engine is JD using in the new Gator 850? 2013 John Deere Gator RSX850i Unveiled John Deere Gator Recreational Utility Vehicles JohnDeere.com

I need to replace the engine in an old gator 4x2. Does anyone know the shaft size and specs? The engine in it now is a fe290d-cs08. I want to replace it with a larger engine, like a 13 hp. I haven't been able to get the clutch off yet.

Alright y'all, I've found a used Gator that I may go look at tomorrow. It's an '04 model. The owner says it shows 4,000 hours on the meter because his kids would leave the key on with the engine shut off, and the meter would run until the battery died. Are the meters wired to work that way? The...

My local JD dealer wants $425 for primary clutch and $300 for secondary clutch for my Gator 4x2. Does anyone know where I can find clutches for my gator cheaper? Or maybe I am stuck with paying these prices. Thanks for any help.

I have a new (<1 hr) Gator TS, and have a really hard time starting it. I use the choke, and crank for 30 to 45 seconds before it will catch. (Most of the time I can't stand cranking for more than 10 to 15 seconds, stop and try again). The weather is cool, gas if from the dealer. Ideas?

We've been having some odd behavior out of a 2010 Gator CX (the smallest of the 4x2's). On a number of recent occasions it will suddenly act like the gas is running out, slowing then dying even though the throttle is wide open & the tank is nearly full. It is generally happening after about...

I was given a John Deere gator cs, very good overall condition except that the rear end, differential were run dry and basically shot. Price to repair from local dealer is close to $2,600 plus tax. This makes no sense for a entry level machine and wonder if I could retrofit a hydrostatic type...

I am thinking of adding a power dump to my JD Gator using an electric screw jack such as this one -> Bully 12 Volt Electric Car Jack - JEGS I am planning on welding a round pipe to each end of the screw jack, and adding a shaft to each of the pipes, one attached to the gator and one to the bed...

I have a new JD Gator XUV 825i with 16 hours on it. It has developed an annoying metal/rattle type sound coming from the engine area. I had not noticed this sound until the 10 hr service was performed at the JD dealership. I let them know about it when I got home and noticed the rattling sound...

I have a 4X2 gator with a Kawasaki engine. The starter will not engage with the key, only thing I get is a click from the solinoid. If I jump the starter it will engage and start. I checked the neutral safety switch and it seems fine, if I use a jumper wire on the safety switch it makes no...

I was wondering if anyone owns or has test driven a 625i and what their opinion is. Specifically it's ability to climb rather steep hills and how it handles plowing snow. I don't need the ability to go much over 10 mph due to the terrain where it would be driven. Any feedback would be...
