I have been trying to find M gator on online auctions such as Gov-Planet But I cant find any. Is the military not selling them yet or have they already sold all of them. I know John Deere still has contracts making them and had them for a while now. Anybody know where to look?

They only release them as they come thru the system to be sold. It totally depends on what filters thru and when.

Why you see alot of something sold over the period of months then nothing

You saw 10 MTVRs a week for months, then nothing for 3 months then now they are showing up again

So does that mean that they come in ever couple months or is it completely random? The main reason I want one is so its hopefully cheaper than getting one new (the infamous green paint of money). And they are a little bit stronger too. Also when they do come in how much is it for a running one?

Random. It depends on what is turned in based on replacements or being redlined. Then turned in for state or dept acquisition and then sent to govplanet etc to be sold.

The M-Gator is just a TH6x4 but with some add ons. If you're hell bent on being original then you'll need to piece one together starting with trying your luck at auction or just buying one whole on ebay from a guy for 13K. All components, except for add ons, are commercially available through your local JD dealership. The question is what is it worth to you $$$.

We still have four in my unit but the base here has been slowly getting rid of them and get fully cabbed side by sides but cost as much as a stripped down pick up but in the USAF they're equipment not a vehicle so they get away with it. Some even have A/C.
