I know this isnt a popular subject with all members but I just got a few steps closer to my engine swap project. This last Sat. I finally got lucky. I bought two f2560 Kubota lawn mowers and low and behold they happen to have d1105 engines in them. The d1105 is a a bored and/or stroked version...

Re: rtv and side hills - and leaking fuel cap Another problem I ran into today thats somewhat related to having a load in the bed happened to me today. I was putting my RTV up into the back of my above the axle utility trailer and had a full 50 gallon water tank in the back as I was going to...

I sure like the new features specified on the new RTV 1100 coming out, but I dont think its going to be across the board better. It just seems too big and heavy. When you start reading between the lines maybe you will see what I mean. While the RTV1100 quite a bit wider and longer, what really...

Yes I have seen the sight and often use it for information gathering. As you might already know If you click on the appropriate engine(s) one of things it brings up physical dimensions. Thats where my idea started. I just need to get a d1105E or preferably D1105TE. I just sold 7 or 8 D905s and...

My understanding is the only real difference between the d905 and a similar configured d1105 is the displacement. It would be similar to swapping in a 350 chevy in place of a 305 or 307,327 etc. I do see my model has the CA smog sticker on the valve cover that says it complies with the 2005 CA...

I know and respect that the stock RTV900 as a well built machine and realize it has power enough for its intended design, but sometimes it would be nice to have a little more. I have looked into the the turbo upgrade kit at $2995. and it looks like a nicely made setup, but I also know something...

I have a 06 rtv 900w which has the hydraulic dump. I know the new RTV900T has the tool circuit or extra valve to run all the external hydraulic tools now available. What exactly does this model have extra over mine and can mine be easily upgraded? Is it just another valve or does it also have a...

Re: This deisel gets great mileage! can it run a 12 kw generato or Woodsplitterr off the Hydraulic outlet? Yes 12kw is way off for output. I have had and sold a couple dozen kubota powered gensets and all of them use d905es in them basically the same engine as our rtvs. With this engine they...
