Hi everyone.<br>
<br>
I have just started volunteering at my local park and have been asked to have a look at their Gator. It has several problems that need looking at and i am after some help with finding some possible solutions.<br>
<br>
First off is a loud scraping/grinding noise that only happens just before the gator comes to a halt when using the brakes. I have changed the transmission oil (from the look of it it has never been changed) and replaced it with the correct grade from JD. The noise is still there. I then tried going down a hill with the engine turned off, i braked - the noise disappeared. I then looked at the primary clutch and found the rollers had large flat spots, could this be the cause of the noise, like the clutch is not disengaging fully when braking?<br>
<br>
Secondly is the steering rack. When you turn to full right hand lock the wheel will keep turning and the wheel "jumps", like the pinion has over run the rack and it bouncing on the last tooth. Is it possible go buy the internal components without the cost of buying a new rack?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
<br>
