Remove Gator Roof and Windshield
At 2:29 in
TIS THE SEASON.....GOING TOPLESS ON THE FARM
What happens here
To remove the roof, locate and flip open several clamps or connectors positioned along the frame. The presenter notes that this step is easier with an additional person due to the size and weight of the roof, especially if it has attached accessories like lights. Once the roof is detached, unlatch the connectors holding the windshield in place and carefully remove it. The removed windshield and roof should then be carried to a storage location, such as a tobacco barn, to protect them until needed again. The presenter suggests that a full glass windshield with a wiper might be a preferable aftermarket option for some users.
Goal: Convert the John Deere Gator to its open-air configuration for spring.
