John Deere Gator...Who's got one?

I'm trying to figure out how to turn the governor off/ or make it go a little faster. Anyone know how to do that?

Re: John Deere Gator...Who's got one?

follow the throttle cable. Does it connect to a spring that then opens the throttle body? If so... wrap wire around the spring to keep it from stretching. Its just one of those things you have to look at for a while, but sounds very do-able. The top speed of those gators and kubotas(i really wanted a diesel)is what swayed my opinion to get a rhino.

Re: John Deere Gator...Who's got one?

My buddy has one of these - a diesel - and the thing is a blast, it screws!! Of course he has 9 acres of manicured yard, and bought this to take out the trash... his driveway is 1,500' long! We use it to haul kegs around for big parties too, very versatile!!

Re: John Deere Gator...Who's got one?

buddy has one and just a word of caution....if you override the gov...the exhaust and muffler gets RED HOT. Buddy has a lot of land in Northern WI and we use that on the gravel roads to get to and from the bars.... well something had to be done to get us there faster ... we were thirsty and once there we found a not so happy exhaust. Almost started the thing on fire. his is gas
