    Our NEWEST project: M1010 Ambulance

    AUXILIARY POWER OUTLET, Patient Compartment. We had a question about them, and I figured I would expound on the answer I already provided via PM. The power outlets were there to provide auxiliary power to a number off different medical devices that MIGHT be used in the ambulance, mainly in...

    What have I got?

    What's the interior look like? The door where the vent is supposed to be, was definitely added later. I'd look again, and see if there's any signs of some kind of filler material where the rivets would have been for the brackets to hold the crosses, and Caduceus. While re-skinning is possible...

    Gator issues

    The "problem" is with John Deere. They're running their system, like car dealerships do now. YOU supply them with a "vin" number off your M-Gator, and They are supposed to be able to identify your part number on their computer. Even when you show them off the TM what the correct part number...

    Gator issues

    Glad to hear your issue was so quickly resolved. Have had same issues with our gators. So far, had same problem with the rear drive clutches, belts, different plastic pieces, and dash board plastic/decal. Still waiting on some of those parts, since our dealer apparently doesn't stock the...

    B3.3T is Correct. The U.S. Military has broken down the M-Gator family, into further subsets than just A1, A2, A3. M-Gators are/were used in Iraq and Afghanistan with and without the steel roll bar, seen on our "USMC" Garrison M-Gator. However, M-Gators with that roll bar, AND the yellow LED...

The "ARMY" Gator, is currently in parts, waiting on replacement parts from John Deere to Arrive. Next week, we're hoping to get the M1010 Ambulance to the AC Shop, and then into the paint shop...

    M-Gator Presented to OUR FRIEND.

    As stated in a different thread, the USMC M-Gator we had restored, was restored for the use by a Dear Friend of ours, Carlos Manning. As most of you in the greater TX/OK/LA/AR/NM area know, Carlos has been a driving force behind Re-enactors, and Military Vehicle Collector activities for a number...

    Looking for Pict of Gator with Recoilless

    Found another Picture. But still not the one I wanted. This shows another Polaris 6 wheel, with a Soviet recoilless rifle on it. Obviously at an FOB. The picture I am still looking for, shows a black painted M-Gator, with 60's style flowers painted all over the gator and the recoilless rifle.

    AMMO TRAILER: As stated before, this trailer, and our "ARMY" M-Gator, were purchased at the same time, from DRMO Ft. Polk, and were marked as having come from the 4th Brigade Combat Team. When purchased, the trailer was a combination of Rust, O.D. and Brown. You can see that the hitch is...

    Back to the thoughts on Up-Gunning an M-Gator. I have found one other picture of an M-Gator (probably in Afghanistan) which has been armed with a Russian Weapon.

    Our ATV Collection

    The USMC GATOR: We call this one the USMC Gator because it came from the left coast, and when purchased, it was painted in a USMC Green with a camo paint job on top of that. The Roll Bar was only partially painted, so I think it was added at some later time. We had to replace the seats, the...

    Picts of MOTO 4: As this was the 1st 4 wheeler I had to take hunting, I made some modifications. Some mods, like the rinky dinky Snorkel were done by the military. I have started taking mods off, and restoring it to exactly how it was in the 80's. But we still use it for hunting too. So some...
