  Dump bed get very not to the touch on side with muffler

I looked to be 100% certain but mine has a piece of foil wrapped insulation on the bottom of the bed over the muffler area. I would think if you could get a piece of duct pipe insulation (scrap) of say 18 by 24 inches would be sufficient.

They say there is no dumb question so to prove it will ask you one: is your motor air cooled or is there a fan on it? Like to have made mistake and said "MY GATOR" but my "WIFE"S gator is oh about seven years old and is air cooled. If there is a fan on that motor have not seen it. But can check if you want me to see if there is air flow there.

I will check it Saturday. It will be out playing in the yard then or needs to be.

When we bought the Gator I did the field work and took her to test drive the "GREEN" (only color it could be to suit her) there she was running around driving the Gator with Manager with her. I realize a salesman wanted to ask a question and finally got him to: "why is she test driving it" to which I said for she is the one who wants a Gator. His reply was sad, I wish my wife wanted such. felt sorry for the old boy. Oh my wife's name is first on some titles and only on others and then it is hers or mine on others. The Lord richly blesses this Ole country boy!

I can feel some air flow in that area when idleing. Not much and it was not as hot as would expect exhaust air to be. Engine was not hot just warm when I did check it.
