Solution To Problem With My Deere Gator FARM SHOP Repairs 34-5-36 John Schroder, Brainerd, Minn. (ph 218 829-7170): "My friend Barry Aldridge came up with an inexpensive solution to a problem I was having with my Deere Gator. The problem was with the gearbox. It turns continuously, so whenever I try to shift gears I hear a grinding noise. As a result it takes too long to shift, and when it finally does shift it slams. I'm sure it also causes premature wear in the gearbox. I'm told this is a common problem on Deere Gators.
"To solve the problem, Barry made a brake that stops the gearbox belt from turning while shifting gears. The brake consists of a metal bracket with a brake lever on it. The lever bolts on under the Gator's front seat and is connected to a cable that goes back to a brake pedal off a bike. Pulling on the lever causes the brake pedal to push up against the belt drive and stop it as I shift into gear.
"When I'm done shifting gears I let up on the lever and away I go. Very simple."
