New member looking for any help!
My father and I recently purchased a traditional 2003 4x2 gator. When we shift from neutral to forward or reverse there is a grinding sound. When we raised the bed, the drive belt continually spins in neutral. Is there an adjustment either in the clutch or transmission that allows the belt from stop spinning? Our thought is this is the cause of the noise. Drive belt feels loose however there must be enough friction between the clutch to spin the belt.
Also we searched and looked online to find out the engine oil filter is optional. Where is the optional oil filter placed if we purchase the kit? Also is it necessary? All of our tractors, skid steers and atvs have oil filters. Seems weird it would be optional on this machine.
Lastly is there is a transmission oil filter? Again couldn't find one and seems odd not to have one.
My apologies for the long post, any information would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Tom
