Yesterday my brother and I road tripped over to Fort Drum to pick up the M-Gator I won a couple weeks ago. The recovery went well except for a wheel bearing failure about 60 miles from Drum, so we 3-wheeled the rest of trip. I paid a little more than I was hoping to, but I wanted one and 200 miles away was as close as I'll probably find one. The tailgate is bent, the litter rack is missing, and every piece of plastic is broken but that can all be fixed. On the plus side one of the steer tires is brand new
. After airing up the tires and making sure the brake worked we rolled it off the trailer into the garage.
After a quick look at the wiring we jumped the dump bed to raise it and then removed it, it's nice that that works. Today we did a quick inspection of everything else and then filled all the fluids which had been drained. After hooking some jumper cables to a battery we got it to fire up! It seems to run good from what I can tell, I'll have to wait until I get the right battery that fits onboard until I can test drive it. That's about as much as we've got done so far, I'll update this thread as work progresses.
