The John Deere Gator feature a Kawasaki engine, rear traction assist that locks the rear drive wheels together to give added torque, and a low center of gravity that allows for added stability and handling. The Gator uses a belt drive system. As the belt propels faster the clutch opens up, moving the tires. The clutch bolts to the crankshaft of the engine; removal will take 30 minutes to complete.
Things You'll Need
Jack
Jack stands
Wheel wrench
10mm wrench
Flathead screwdriver
Clutch removal tool
Impact wrench
Park the Gator on a level surface, remove the key from the ignition and set the parking brake.
Slide the jack under the frame at the rear of the machine, raise the machine off the ground and set the jack stands under each side of the frame just behind the tires. Lower the jack until the frame rests on the jack stands.
Remove the four tire bolts from the left wheel with the wheel wrench, and slide off the tire. Remove the two 10mm bolts holding down the guard over the belt. Slide off the drive belt by hand. Pry the black, plastic cap with the flathead screwdriver to expose the threaded hole.
Insert the clutch removal tool in the hole, place the impact wrench over the clutch removal tool and tighten until the clutch pops off.
