Does your gator have a Kawi v-twin like my old mule? I recently had to replace the plastic cam gear on mine. If yours has the plastic one (new ones are steel), it may have skipped a tooth or stripped many teeth as happened to mine. Replacement, at least on the mule, is actually pretty easy. I would suggest pulling at least one rocker cover and checking valve movement and relationship to TDC. If the cam has stopped with valves closed on one cylinder, this can make it seem like it has compression. If the engine cranks but the valves don't go up and down, you've found your problem. If you need to change cam gear let us know.
