John Deere - Kids Gator - Gear Shifter and Lock

thingiverse

I needed a replacement part for my kid's broken gear shifter on their gator vehicle. This gave me an opportunity to practice using Inventor, which I had been meaning to do for some time. Based on my research, it appears that the Peg Perego - John Deere Gator 12v - Older Style and HPX version models require this same replacement part. I decided to print this part on our MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer, setting it up with a resolution of 0.2 mm and an infill of 20%. Unfortunately, my initial attempt at printing the shifter as a single unit did not yield good results, so I opted to break down the design into two separate parts.
