Thank You! Came here because I couldn't get it to re prime after changing it out. Instead of removing the big plastic piece under the seats to get to access that one bolt, I drilled a hole through the plastic with a step bit and was able to access the bolt that way.
Thanks sir for this video. My 2007 model just started buzzing within last couple of months. Glad to know its just the fuel pump. However, think I will let a shop do the repair for time sakes.
Mr. Cobb , I got my fuel pump and both fuel filters installed successfully . The 18mm bolts on that back rail were hard to get loose but I used a bar over my ratchet for extra leverage and was able to crack em loose .The fuel pumps for these Gators has been re-designed since you did yours . They are supposed to have been improved and they do look to be built a little better . They are not black now , they are metal or stainless now . They are also longer , so I had to modify for that by cutting an inch off the fuel line going into the pump from the gas tank side . It is slightly bigger around as well , so I had to modify the mounting strap by bending it just right so I could get the bolt to start and then go on . It was kinda tough going as I never did a fuel pump replacement on mine . I had to replace a few plastic clips too as I messed up a few taking the lines off the big filter on the frame and then the one clip at the engine attachment . Also had to replace one of the plastic push plugs that holds the filter to the frame as it was bad . Once all that was done , putting it all back together was not bad . No more humming noise and it's running good . Wanted to thank you again for the video , it saved me a lot of money by doing it myself and your video is what made it possible . My tractor was filling in for my Gator until I had the time to fix it . So glad to have it back , life is easier with it . Oh , I had been having an issue with loosing coolant over time . While I had it apart I noticed that a water line was loose so I tightened that up . Checked it after running it a while and the leaking around the clamp looks to have stopped . I have a bad relay too that's gonna have to be replaced . The one that lowers the electric dump . The one that raises the bed works fine but the other one clicks and won't lower the bed . I had to remove the unit until I can fix it later . Have a good summer and I hope your Gator is still doing good . Thanks Man !
Great instructions. Don't you think that JD could have put an access hole in the plastic (above the bolt holding fuel pump) that would have made the fuel pump replacement considerably easier?
An access hole would have been nice. It would have been just mechanics labor hours. putting it where the filter and using a different shaped filter would have been great. If you know the fuel pressure, then running an small auto pump would have been cheaper and by pass the old pump.
Great job just wish you would have showed how to disconnect the snap lock on the fuel line, does it slid, press, or pull out, I can't seem to get it loose no matter how I work on it and don't want to break it,, to reassemble is no problem, getting it disconnected and off is a pain in, well.
Use a small screwdriver to pry the clip out a little or out, then you can separate the pieces. The clip are like latches and snap over the bulge in the tube/filter housing. Ford has them in a lot of places. The auto parts stores also carry them in may sizes (kit). I have also broke them, popped them across the garage and lost them.
Hi Reg my 620i wont run beyond idle even at full throttle. no idea what the problem is. it has fresh gas, new plugs, new oil etc. i'm guessing it's the throttle body? I dont want to spend $1k if i can avoid it....... help!
You could try putting your hand on the pump to see if it vibrates. If it does then disconnect the hose to the injector and run it into a jug to see if it pumps enough fluid. Then, no: fuel filter, power, or pump; yes: try direct feed the injector. There are replacement auto fuel pumps you can use to send gas to the engine (I have used them for pumping out a tank). Also, check for water in the gas.
The electrical side: connect volt meter to battery and see if the voltage is around 13.5+ ( charging). If above idle and below 12v, then the regulator is not keeping up. Another story, If needed.
@@reginaldcobb5456 thanks it seems like the fuel pump is ok. if i take apart the throttle body the engine comes to life so it seems to be an issue there somewhere. I'm going to swap out the throttle sensors tomorrow and see if that helps. any idea why I'd be getting gas in the oil? The EGR tube dumps tons of gunk into the throttle body too :( makes it smoke really bad
Great Video . Just wondering Mr Cobb , did you put in a new fuel filter ? The little one that goes just before the fuel pump on the fuel tank side ? I have a 2010 with the fuel pump gone bad . I was thinking since it's such a pain having to take all that stuff off before installing the new pump , that it might be a good idea to put in a new small filter as well . Thanks
Rick Brooks I think I did. I keep some of the small filters in the toolbox for other lawn mowers/ATVs. The larger filter had been replaced within the year. Hoped, the video helped.
I do not remember being sprayed when disconnecting the fuel lines. Down stream of the pump, there is only the fuel in the lines. Use a rag around the junctions you are separating. The fuel filter will hold a little more fuel. I will look at my Gator later today.
The unit whined. While running, use your hand over the hose in the area of the whining. It should change the tone ( a method to locate the noise). I also could feel the vibration on the noisy pump. Can’t remember if the pump plug is easy reach: unplug to stop the noise.
Reginald Cobb trying to figure out why my dad’s keeps dying, then runs fine for awhile, then dies. Fuel pump was whining then finally gave up the ghost lol. Guess I’ll be ordering one. He’s had nothing but issues. Think it was a bad pump from the factory.
Thank you sir. Your vid just saved me some time and money.

You said both fuel filters installed. Where is the second one. I know about the one after the pump.
Very thorough. Thank you kind sir.

Jump Start we've tried to get them off several different ways, you just can't get them off without breaking them.
Use a small screwdriver to pry the clip out a little or out, then you can separate the pieces. The clip are like latches and snap over the bulge in the tube/filter housing. Ford has them in a lot of places. The auto parts stores also carry them in may sizes (kit). I have also broke them, popped them across the garage and lost them.

How did you diagnose a faulty pump? Did it whine or quit pumping altogether?
The unit whined. While running, use your hand over the hose in the area of the whining. It should change the tone ( a method to locate the noise). I also could feel the vibration on the noisy pump. Can’t remember if the pump plug is easy reach: unplug to stop the noise.
