Having problems with one of the picts. Trying again:

If you want it tan, paint it. The military did. Here's a couple of pictures of M-Gators in Afghanistan and Iraq, painted CARC TAN. As you can see, they paint THE WHOLE THING tan. But it appears that the paint doesn't adhere too well to the plastic pieces.

Ahhhh, that explains it then. Somewhere recently (I think in that U-Tube video posted on another thread) there was a quick shot, showing an M-Gator, with a standard Gator tire, with the yellow paint job on it. It's very common for the military to use Hangar Queens, or a Bone Yard for parts...

Negative. We've bid on some of the gators that were up on GL from Ft. Sam the last two go arounds, but we weren't bidding for ourselves, we were bidding for others. The USMC Gator, came out of GL, in Califunny. The ARMY gator came from Ft. Polk, along with a trailer, about 18 months ago, (give...

On second glance, the passenger's side fender well, seems to be the stock mil color on the underside. So mebbe they got hosed by the John Deere Parts system too??? and they were given the wrong color of fender, as a replacement for a damaged one at some point.

The paint job is very interesting. You can also see on the underside of the front fender well, that when it was 1st delivered to US MIL it was the standard John Deere Green, not the Darker John Deere Green, they come as now.

Gimpy, I'm just hoping we get finished with our projects before he gets one, and finds out about SS. ssssshhhhhhh NOBODY TELL HIM!!! O.K.??? jacobsk, don't have access to it right now. it's over at mek a neck's gettin stripped. We had it loaded at DRMO with a forklift, and had to use the...

Ohhhhhhh, The OWNER of the dealership we're going to LOVES US at this point. (probably has something to do with the fact that I've spent enough money with him at this point to pay a semester's worth of Tuition for his daughter at Texas A&M) We're dealing strictly with the owner now. And I...

As we unfortunately found out when doing the restoration of our "USMC" gator, John Deere is veddddy particular about parts. We needed a single yellow LED for the light bar. Nope, won't sell it to ya. Buuuutttt we'll sell you the ENTIRE light KIT, including wiring harnesses etc, etc. for $500.00...

Very Nice Score. Do you know what year it is? BIG question. does the bed operate? That's going to be a big issue if it doesn't. Bobcat, keep your eyes on GL. DRMO out of Ft. Sam has had 2 batches of them go recently. Some of them were pretty dogged out, but there were some decent ones in...

No Prob.

Thanks for the offer. While I'm good with working with body issues, electrical, painting....... I yield to others with higher intellect and actual Mek a Nek Skills for the engine work. My go to guy for that, has all the John Deere, (and Honda, Polaris, Sno-Cat, etc etc etc) shop manuals from...

I know it seems like I'm directing my angst at the Counter Boy, and blaming him for Deere's problems. And in all honesty, you're right, to a certain extent. However, the angst and problems started with him. In saying that, I mean that he at 16 was already set into a mind set, of "I can only...

Welllllll, there are many different explanations on that thought. First, there are many things, in any field of Medical, Engineering, etc., where something works really well on paper, or in theory, and is an absolute failure in real life. In field medicine, we teach medics first in the...

M.A.S.T. Trousers: MAST or Military Anti Shock Treatment, trousers, is another thing I've been asked about. Yes, they still show up in lots of medical supplies coming out of DRMO. NO!!!! They are generally NOT used anymore.The military and some Civilian EMS departments just refuse to read...
