 Gator Speed Engine Temp

I have an early 90s gas powered 6x4 Gator. It's limited speed was okay when I lived in NJ and only had to cover several hundred feet. I moved to Maine and brought the Gator with me. I have 78 acres now and my brother has 40 acres 1.25 miles away. We're in a very rural section and I drive the Gator to / from both properties. By the time I get half-way the radiator fan on. I verified there's no debris around the radiator and fluids are at correct level. Is there any way to change the gearing to increase speed a little and reduce RPMS? I bought new chains for the final drive. I was hoping I could change the sprockets, either putting a larger one in front or smaller on wheels.

I will not be removing the intermediary wheels. I don't want to change the governor. The Gator needs a major tune-up and some gaskets. I'll see what the local small engine service company says, taking it to a JD dealer isn't really an option in that it's 90 minutes away.

I haven't replaced the belt and clutch needs work, gears grind going into forward or reverse unless I drop RPMs down by pulling choke lever. We enjoy the ride, just have to watch out for moose.
