OR.. with the kids today,,, WE'RE IN TROUBLE!!:
I know. other generations have said that. But THIS time it's true.
Working on the "ARMY" Gator. DRMO sed it was a 2009. NOPE. Took Vin info to dealership, start ordering parts from pimply faced bubble gum chewing Royal Prince of Dorkdom, and he tells me the VIN # is coming up as a 2004/2005. Ok. Fine, what difference can a few years make?? (dumbass me,,,, A LOT)
So off to the races we go, ordering parts. Sommmmme parts work, MOST don't. So after two rounds of getting the wrong parts, wrong colors (ME: "too early for the sand colored plastic parts YOUR HIGHNESS", HIS RESPONSE "but 'duhhhh" that's what the computer sez!!)
FINALLY had to load most of the Gator onto a trailer, TAKE IT DOWN to the dealership, let the OWNER take a picture of the vin number and SEND IT TO JOHN DEERE. And guesssss what????
It's a 2000 year model. Made in December 2000!!!!
(yes, I am nearly bald now, and the ulcers have come back)
So here's a couple of picts of engine compartment, and blackout lights, from when I put it on the trailer:
