I'm a new member to the forum but I've been using it for months for reference.
Let me give y'all a little background on my project. My father in-law bought this new in 2013 and sunk it in early 2014. Left it running, then sat in the mud hole overnight. Recovering the gator from the whole they ripped the winch and bumper it was connected to off the machine. As you can imagine it wouldn't run. He drained fluids ect... still wouldn't run. Took it to JD and they completely disassembled the machine. Turns out the bearing on the crankshaft seized. JD quoted him 7000 parts labor and he said no way. JD returned the machine in boxes and thats how it sat for year and a half before his wife said get rid of it. Asked me if i wanted it so i said sure. As of right now the engine is installed and im waiting on some parts that got lost in the transfers.
