First time doing an engine rebuild on a Gator TS. Learned a lot doing this!
It’s nearly at 10,000 hours and was burning oil a lot reason for the replacements.
Valves lapped with new oils seals. New piston, rings and all gaskets and seals replaced. Runs like a Deere again!
Recently had led lights fitted in the workshop, they’ve improved the lighting but found something to also help under the machines. LED strips have worked out great.
Had a lot of fun bringing some life back into our 6500D. Spent some money for sure, but definitely a good investment to continue using it as a winter machine.

Thanks @sportsmetals for getting this to me. Certainly will help to maintain the shoe a lot easier during changes on bedknives.
Shout out to the turf techs that shared this, I wouldn’t of known otherwise! 👍
Bringing a set of units back to life. Bushes were worn so ended up wearing the yoke arm and rod. Thankfully drilled a 19mm HSS drill bit to save the yoke arm so a bush can be reinserted with a rod. Saving £900 that can be spent now on something else 👍
Had a divot party yesterday then the members came into the workshop for some snacks being served from the vehicle lift. Afterwards a tour of the machinery, demonstrating the grinding room, stock room and cutting unit set up with discussing topics. Was really cool to see and do
