 Gator-tail reverse generations
Since in just getting back into the mud motor game I'm looking for some insight to which generation reverse is on these engines. Any help? The first and last pic is on same engine and middle two is on another unit

 Re: Gator-tail reverse generations

 Re: Gator-tail reverse generations
Thanks for the info aka. I agree the first and last pic does look pretty bad. It's a friends engine that he keeps outside in weather. The middle pics reverse is actually in pretty good shape.

 Re: Gator-tail reverse generations
Also I've read that gen4 is the best. Is it really worth the upgrade?

 Re: Gator-tail reverse generations
Gen 4 was very nice to operate on the one I drove the other day. You get to pull down on the lever more giving you a better grip.
