# How to Remove the Front Wheel From a John Deere Gator
John Deere Gators are small, gasoline-powered, all-terrain utility vehicles that have four to six wheels with inflatable rubber tires. They often have a rear bed similar to a pickup truck. Due to the uncertain terrain on which the Gator travels, flat tires are not uncommon. Like a car or truck, a Gator should not be driven on a flat tire if it can be avoided, and the tire should be changed as soon as possible.
