Hello all,
I may have an unusual question. I have a custom camera crane platform mount that has in the rear two pair of 3"x3"metal tabs on each side with approximately a 1" hole through all 4 of those tabs. There is a hook in the front behind the driver's side. I am looking to remove the stock JD bed with the custom mount. Does this sound right... no matter the year of the 6x4 gator? TH or otherwise? I am looking to do what this video is being done: http://www.johndeeregatorforum.com/forum/showthread.php?10374-%28Movie-Production-Gator%29-Promo-For-the-Gator-Relocation-Vehicle-Off-Road-Jib.
It is for the Jimmy Jib Triangle camera crane. I have been encountering beach and golf course shoots that would greatly relieve the old fashioned 4'x8' plywood shuffle of shooting on beaches and sand traps in Florida. It gets old really fast.:Bnghd:
Can anyone tell me the size of the bolts I need? Unfortunately, my cell phone camera does not allow me to send or download pictures at this time. I am saving up to purchase either a used 6x4 Gator or a new one. Any advice on what I should look for on a used one? Or if new is better... is there discounts like new cars... special closeouts, rebates, that I should be aware of? I am looking at diesels. But they are a bit loud, I was wondering if there is a way to quiet them down. Any suggestions?
The attached photos are from the seller of the custom camera mount. Unfortunately, he does not know the year of his Gator and sold it before I purchased the mount. Maybe you guys can ID the 6x4 Gator's approximate year in the following pictures?
