Description
For over a century, Gates has driven innovation in belt technology to power the machines that move you. Gates® G-Force C12 CVT belt drives are engineered to navigate the toughest off-road trails with power and efficiency. The industry's first CVT belt with carbon tensile cord also features a trapezoid top-notch and rounded cog design for superior flexibility and heat dissipation, along with a unique gum adhesion that reduces fiber pullout within the belt extending the life of the belt. Gates combines material science and process engineering to create innovative products that provide performance, reliability and the strength to withstand even the most challenging off-road environments. Continuous innovation isn't just what we do. It's who we are.
WHY G-FORCE C12 BELTS?
- STRENGTH: The first CVT belt utilizing carbon tensile cord for minimal stretch and extraordinary strength.
- FLEXIBILITY: High-performance neoprene with a trapezoidal topnotch and rounded bottom cog design maximizing heat control and flexibility.
- DURABILITY: Carbon tensile cords are bonded to aramid fiber-loaded rubber with specially formulated adhesion gum, resulting in increased side-load resistance, preventing belt distortion and edge cord pullout.
- PERFORMANCE: Gain optimal power transmission for faster acceleration, improved throttle response and consistent shifting performance.

Vehicle Information
John Deere Gator HPX Side-by-Side (2004-2026)
The John Deere Gator HPX, produced from 2004 to 2026, is a robust utility vehicle known for its reliable performance in various demanding tasks. This series is primarily powered by two engine types: a 617cc gasoline engine and an 854cc diesel engine. While horsepower figures may vary slightly (e.g., 20 to 21 hp for gasoline models), the core engine displacements have remained largely consistent throughout its production. Initially designated as HPX 4x4 (gasoline or diesel), John Deere introduced the HPX615E (gasoline) and HPX815E (diesel) designations around 2017-2018. These changes reflect continuous improvements in terrain capability, cargo capacity, and stability, rather than a complete platform overhaul. The 2025 and 2026 models continue to offer these same engine configurations. FAQ:
Q: How can I ensure the part fits my Gator HPX?
A: To guarantee compatibility, please use the year and model selector on this page. Q: Are parts interchangeable across all Gator HPX years?
A: Variations may exist depending on the year and configuration. Use our selector to find the exact parts for your vehicle.

| Air Filter | 200 hours or annually | Check element and dust unloading valve every 100 hours. Clean more frequently (every 50 hours) in dusty conditions. Primary filters may have longer replacement intervals (up to 1,500 hours or 2 years) and secondary filters are replaced less often. |
| Coolant | 400 hours or 24 months | Check level every 25 hours. With the use of John Deere COOL-GARD, intervals can be extended up to 2,000 hours or 24 months (concentrate) or 3,000 hours or 36 months (pre-diluted), or even 5,000 hours or 5 years after initial service with annual testing. |
Maintenance intervals may vary depending on the model year, engine type, and operating conditions. Always consult your vehicle's specific owner's manual for precise information.
