  Older Gator grinding gears

Bob; That's just the way the Gstors were and still are designed, same principal as the old Cushman moror scooters we rode as kids in the 50's. I've owned every series Gator except the three wheeler and the battery powered one. The XUV series now is fuel injected so the idle can be controled much better. Have you serviced or overhauled the carburetor and ignition system? My reason for suggesting this is to get the engine to idle more slowly and smoother so you don't have to give it a bit of throttle to keep it from killing when you put thew shift lever in gear. I'm guessing that perhaps your parents come from the old school like me that hearing some gear grind bothers them. My 07 XUV will grind just like they always have if you have it above idle. I've thought too about a brake of some sort on the clutch mechanism, but getting it to realease at the precise time that the clutch grabs might take a bit of precision that would cost lots of money. Frank.

  Older Gator grinding gears

Bob; Your comment about your parents being scared of grinding gears very much reminds me of my Father who lived to 95, never took a pill in his life, worked in the shop till 92 type guy used to enjoy driving whatever series Gator I had at the time around the farm or whereever we might find him within a 10 mile radius. He was "Afraid" to put it into gear because of the grind thing so he would try to put it into gear slowly and in the real world just made it grind for a longer period. Finally I convinced Dad to let it idle then put it into gear more quickly and forcefully and far less grinding would occur. He did start doing it that way, but under his breath always muttered something like Chevrolet had syncromesh in 39, why the H### can't Deere figure that out. Today while "Cheerefully" going nursery shopping for some perfect potted plant with the Mrs. I saw a five wheel Deere AMT sitting at the ready at the door of the nursery, It shined like ma new one. Frank.
