I am very much like him, most don't realize we normally read a sentence then we write each word. Think that is why reading often works well and writing does not. A while back saw a test that almost each word was mispelled with I think the first and last letter being correct but those between out of order. The funny thing per the test was most people could read the meaning of the message and some would never pick up the words were not spelled correctly. kt

 Snapping noise in front and rear ends

So...I see my little question sorta got sidetracked with English and spelling lessons but thats ok cuz I can't spell or read to good anyway. Did ANYONE ever get any satisfactionn from their JD dealer on their problems or are you all still taking it in the shorts with excuses and a clunking snapping Gator still in your backyard?? Just wondering if I was the only guy out there with one and it sounds like not. My JD dealer still won't wave to me on the road so looks like I am not in his good graces for getting rid of the clunker and getting a Bobcat 2200. FYI, I really like it so far except the seat is a little hard other than that I give it two thumbs up so far. I have 55 hrs on it and no strange noises and lots of power with great visibility. I wish I would have bought it with a cab but that is hindsight. Thanks for all your help TP and I wish the guys who are still getting the smokescreen best of luck... Wervey

 Snapping noise in front and rear ends

I have an XUV with 70 hours that had a background noise, not a grinding, not a snapping, just sounded like the rear screen rattling. When I put the cab on for winter the sound was still there so it wasn't the screen. I put it on the lift and found the front yoke on the drive shaft was dry and a little loose on the splined shaft of the front housing. I greased it and the rear one also, tried it out and it was much better. I drove it around a day or so, on the lift again, more grease and now noise is gone. Something to look at, there never was any grease in the front fitting from day one.

Gatoraider; The spline shaft zerk you speak of I grease about every day if we're using tne Gator to pick up rocks or doing anything when the fields are dusty. I've never had a problem with it or any of the other problems that have been mentioned here but the old theroy of "Grease is free compared to parts" kicks in for me whenever a lubed componet of any kind is exposed to excess dust ot water. I know I've said this here before, but I've owned every series Gator they ever built except the tricycle electric models and have never had a bad one yet, I wouldn't trade my XUV for a boatload of anything else. Frank.
