    RTV900 thermostat housing

    Wow, I forgot all about this. 11 days after I posted this I laid it over at 5 mph and broke my left leg just above the ankle. Two surgeries and a bunch of rehab later I was able to walk. I was off work for about 3 months. I hope your after repair luck is better than mine..

    Another newbie with questions. Any advice much appreciated!

    I live in Florida at about 68' above sea level so I can't help you with the altitude question but I will offer this. I have a 2007 RTV900, it had almost 2000 hours on it when the hour meter quit working. I paid $12500 new. We have a 650 ac hay & cow operation. The Kubota gets used every...

    ULSD or Heating Oil?

    All diesel nowadays is ULSD even if it is dyed off-road red. New tractors have Tier 4 emissions and it would be an expensive disaster if somebody put regular diesel in a modern tractor.

    Found the coolant leak

    From the above mentioned site - which is great, thanks for posting - 1G471-72860 and a google search of the part number brought up several places selling them. It's about $34 before shipping.

    Two Questions

    The wires for the headlights are yellow and brown. Yellow is the source, brown is the load. I do not know if they have a stripe or not.

    Weed Wiper and RTV

    I was very interested in this thread, so I bought one. The one Ms. Collie has is from New Zeland, but this one - probably a copy- is made in Arkansas. I weed wiped about 20 acres yesterday, I used 1 1/2 qts. of dawn dish detergent, 1 1/2 qts. of Glystar and 1 1/2 qts. of Element 4 in 15...

    Universal joints help

    But on a more serious note, if you will release the boots that cover the splined shaft joint then the bumper will drop all the way off. Mark how these were because the shafts must be clocked properly when it goes back together. Also, the boots over the splines are not optional, but you can use...

    Universal joints help

    +1 on this. Because of how long it takes to take this thing apart and put it back together this is not the place to cheap out with aftermarket parts.

    Universal joints help

    Jack it up by the frame, loosen the u bolts that hold the bumper to the leaf springs. Seems like there is a comprehensive thread on here with pictures and everything. Its time consuming, but not difficult and does not require any special tools. Probably one of the poorest designs in the...

    I promised pics when done

    The crowd goes wild and begins to chant "blueprints, blueprints, blueprints...". Actually, have you considered patenting & marketing this? The only change I would make is some type of safety stops so you're not resting on the cable. If the cable were to break and it collapsed where do you...

    Oil Cooler being added to RTV

    Timing is everything. Did the same thing for a Vermeer hay rake. Didn't have to pay freight and didn't have to pay shop assembly fees.
