Hello guys! First time poster but I've been viewing for some time and love this forum!!
I have had my 825i for three months. My alternator went out and stranded me on the trail. As disappointed as I was, I must say I was impressed with Deere's quick response and service in taking care of the situation.
Here is my main concern and wanted to see if you guys had any suggestions... I work for a corn and soybean company so use my gator for work in the field. However... I want to use it for fun too!! The mechanic at John Deere told me the problem was that I had gone through some fairly deep water (3ft) and this ruined my alternator. I ride with several Rangers, Rhino's, and RZR's so this is the type of trails we ride. (By the way this gator goes through mud these guys have to winch out of!!! My buddies were very impressed.)
Have you guys had problems with this or is there anything I can modify to solve this alternator problem? I know I can if I have to but I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GO AROUND THE DEEP HOLES!!! I modified my air intake a bit to keep it above the water.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
