Trailered the M1Gator to Findlay for the show along with 2 mules. Still working the bugs out since restoration and first appearance at the April show in Sussex. We stopped the local John Deere dealer near the hotel to pick up a drive belt. Gave the guy a picture of the serial number, bought...
This year I committed to ditch Aberdeen and opted for the show in Findlay. Trailered 2 mules and an M1 gator with a dear friend and his armor. The venue was great, the pre show support from the club was excellent, we were welcomed by everyone. Many familiar faces along with new ones. Lots of...
If the governor is stuck and will not turn at all, carb cleaner followed by a soaking of oil may loosen it up. If you cannot spin it with your fingers, you may need to replace the governor. Make sure you replace the gasket between the governor and the block or you will have an annoying oil...
Regulator? Are you referring to the governor? It is located at the rear of the engine connected to the carburetor by a linkage. If so, start by lubricating the pivot points. If that does not work, remove it from the linkage, remove the 4 screws that hold it to the block. If it is filled...
Clint,
Yes. The gator is a newer acquisition.
A local guy had it. I restored it and it made its first appearance at the USMC birthday bash in Philly last November 10. It was in decent shape I put a head gasket,glow plugs, and injectors in the 3 cylinder yanmar diesel engine. The rest...
Took advantage of the nice weather and loaded up the trailer for the upcoming shows at Sussex NJ and Findlay OHIO.
Bringing along the A5 and TOW mule with the m gator.
I had the Gator at the USMC birthday bash at Cookies Tavern in Philly last November. Put it to work hauling kegs of beer. With the sides down we had 7 kegs of beer for the boys. Made that run 3 times( once every 45 minutes)
The generator motor is the next best thing to an original mule crate motor. The spin on filter set up is the way to go as the canister set up on the original motors can be tricky on the reinstall and prone to leaks. I have on each of my 3 mules. It is not the correct piece but it sure makes...
Very nice. I picked one up 6 months ago. Found all the parts I needed on ebay. I replaced all the fenders and seats. New water pump and head gasket along with injectors and glow pljgs runs like a deeere now!
Check the king pins and bearings in the front axle. Also pick up the manual
Good...
The electric starter was specifically added to accommodate the addition of the TOW weapons system for the mule. The starter used by the military was supplied by prescolite. They are hard to find. Wide tires ,fenders. Alternator and a transient voltage suppression system were added as well...
