This morning our John Deere Gator (which made a brief appearance as Rachel’s Jeep in Spy Movie 2) wasn’t responding. Around here when something isn’t working people call in the six sibs repair team to fix it. We have fixed mowers, stuck doors, locks, and all sorts of other things with help from our dad (and sometimes by ourselves). It took John, Isaac and I about 10 minutes to take off the Gator seat, the speed control lever and the “gas pedal” and to figure out what was wrong. The trouble spot was a little switch that was attached to a little plastic “gas pedal” and was used to make the gator go.
After we got the switch fixed we snapped all of the floor board parts back together and flipped it over and re-screwed the seat that we had taken off to get to the floor board.
We then tested it out and it worked perfectly!
So our Gator is now back in active duty, ready to haul little boys wherever they might want to go!
