Ignition module, around 350.00 It's at the right rear of the motor, right by the starter.

You need a puller to get the clutch off and a special spanner wrench to unscrew the spider inside. The rollers are available only with the spider assembly from Deere. I have roller sets for 60.00 plus shipping.<br>

It is not left hand thread. The tool holds the sheave and spins the spider. If you can hold the spider, you can turn a large pipe wrench on edge and put it down over the spider on one leg and try to unscrew it that way.

Take the air intake hose off at the motor and see if it will run. If not, it's fuel...........if it runs, it's air.
Fuel could be the lift pump on the side of the motor. You could bypass the lift pump and rig up a fuel supply above the injector pump that gravity feeds the pump to see if the lift pump is bad. Check the suction line from the lift pump to the tank for holes or obstructions. Also the pickup screen in the tank could be plugged. You can fish the pickup hose out of the tank with a small wire with a hook on the end. You could also run a supply line from a can directly to the lift pump and eliminate everything from the tank to the pump.

Could be the neutral start switch on the top of the transaxle. Unplug the switch and run a jumper wire between the two connections in the wire and try to start it. If that's not it, it's the start relay on the frame. It's the one with 2 purple, 1 black and 1 red wires. Red should be hot all the time. Both purples should get hot in start position. Black is ground.

Transaxle fluid has to conform to J20C specs. Compatability listings are on the side of the fluid container. It is critical that this fluid be in there. I use Traveller from Tractor Supply, it is a little thinner than Deere's and seems to work well. If you have 90wt gear oil in your transaxle, you will have to flush it out.

I think you need a carb needle. They have a small extension on the top of them and this wears down after time through abrasion with the tab on the float. It is a fairly common problem with higher hour machines. I know you said you had a spacer on the float, that could possibly be askew and binding the needle.

The noise you hear is typical to all 6x4/4x2 transaxles. My belief is that the fluid gets contaminated easily and this directly affects the brake system. This should help your situation. Drive your Gator around and pull your emergency brake up and down with the button held in. Sometimes it takes awhile but sooner or later the groaning/creaking will stop. I think the braking surfaces get scrubbed off or cleaned up. When it doesn't groan anymore, stop and drain your transaxle and replace the fluid. The fluid must conform to J20C specs. John Deere Hyguard is the best, I use Traveller from Tractor Supply which seems a little thinner. I think you will find this will help and every time you do it, the situation will improve.

No adjustment on the clutch that will help you. Gator should start moving as rpms increase, especially the diesel 6x4 since it has the heaviest flyweights of all the clutches. You probably have a clutch roller problem in the drive clutch. They stop rolling and develop flat spots in them. Over time, as the flat spots get deeper, the moveable sheave moves farther away from the stationary sheave because the flyweights rest on the rollers, in this case in the grooves in the rollers. This increased distance requires more rpms to operate the clutch.Also the drive belt could be worn, making it thinner and requiring more rpms to close the clutch. You probably have some of everything.

The oil pressure switch reacts to oil pressure. When the motor builds up oil pressure the switch opens up and breaks the ground connection and the light goes out. If there isn't enough pressure to open up the switch, the light will stay on after starting. The switch could possibly be bad or your oil pressure could be low or the oil pump could have locked up. I would start with a new switch.

One of your tension springs is probably broken and letting the brake arm move forward and engage the brakes. There are tension springs holding the brake arms to the rear on both sides. They are hooked in slots in the turned up portion of the center frame ( other end hooked to brake arm). If you release those springs, with the emergency brake off, there should be between 1/16 and 1/8 inch travel front to back on the brake arm system. Pivot the brake arm coming out of the transaxle forward then backward and calculate the distance moved on the threaded brake adjusting rod. If over 1/8 inch loosen lock nut and tighten regular nut to achieve desired clearance.Replace springs.

The sheave is probably loose on the hub. The rivets loosen up on them and they rattle. I've actually seen all the rivets shear off and the sheave spin by itself. You need to take the belt off and open the clutch by hand to check it. Those clutches aren't much fun to take apart, you really need a press to do it.

Well, in defense of the dealer, most of them go by part numbers and I'm sure they are different. I wasn't completely sure they would swap until I did it. Also,in retrospect, I did it on a 2011, I can't believe they would change from 2011 to 2012, but I don't know. Also the dealer said he only ever saw that one cab, so I doubt if he knew they would swap.

I don't know of any test for the ignitor box. It would be nice if you could borrow one from someone with a 6x4..........

There is either a red/blk or a blu/blk hot wire coming from the starter thru a fuseable link.that is hot all the time. That wire goes to one side of the fan motor. The other side of the motor goes to the temp sensor, other side of the temp sensor goes to gnd. Sounds like you have another wire in the mix. You could have the side that goes to gnd hooked into something else. Find the hot wire and hook it up as I described and unhook the wire coming out of the sensor that doesn't go to the motor. If it will start and run, just ground that wire to a good chassis gnd.
