I baught a john deere gator 4x2 with 900 hrs for $200 because to guy who owned it thought it was a POS. The truth is he was the POS. He thought that because it had a engine oil leak, differential oil leak, grinded gears when shifting from neutral, and it bounced when driving over rough roads. I fixed all the problems in one weekend for about $35. The oil leaks were seals, the grinding problem was a high idle issues cause the clutch to stay engaged, and the bouncing was coil over shocks that were not adjusted right in combination with air pressure being two high in the tires.

When I looked at it I told him it was a junker and I needed to put alot into it. I knew better. So for $235 I have a gator that is worth $3500. I even could register it for the road. It has head lights, tail lights, turn signals, a cab with a windshield wiper, seat belts, and a amber strobe on top. Also, it has a power hoist bed.

Like I said stole it.

The red Toyota is now cut up and the frame is off to the salvage yard.
$18 and a dump run took car of the interior plastic parts and a few other things not needed in the garage. and I got $20 for the Tilt steering column it had. I also have extra glass for the Black Toyota now. Just used the under hood fuse box to fix the oil soaked and busted up fuse box the Black Toyota came with. Gotta love making one out of 2.

Sean had the John Deere about 1.5 years. I think? At least one year. Used that year and 0% financing to pay it off. It's got like 18 hours on it.
