Mine wasn’t a true "Gator", but it was made by the same company and called a "Champ", and did have a "Gator" winch. It came with a bent tongue and an axle that was scrap metal, with the axle seal surface shot and one spindle bent badly.
I straightened the tongue, and since it was for a ‘special’ boat I was building, gave it a new oil bath hub axle, then had to space the fenders out a tad further to accommodate the new wider axle. Trying to work smart rather than hard as I get older, I took it and had it sandblasted, and when they said for $400.00 they could powder coat too I said done"
Ran all newwiring and LED tail lights, and replaced event bolt and nut, even the bushings for the leaf springs, and I was able to dump the rusty 8" rims and upgraded to 12" rims.
