    RTV floorboard preventative maintenance

    Hello all, I thought I'd share some photos of some of the work I did to prolong the life of the floor in the front of my RTV1140. This is a 2009 RTV1140 I bought used in 2014. It currently has about 860 hours. I removed the rubber mat, plastic and seat from the front. I used an angle grinder...

    RTV vs BX snow plowing

    We moved to our property in November and are now there full-time, so this is my first winter maintaining the driveway on a regular basis. Last fall, we got a BX 2370-1 with loader/forks, mower, and frame-mounted 60" hydraulic plow to replace our old Cub LoBoy and JD 425. Our driveway is about...

    RTV1140 Line-X

    We had Line-X sprayed on the brush guard and dump box of our RTV1140. There have been threads here and there that I have seen where folks have wondered if it would work. It works. We originally were only going to have the inside of the bed done, but the paint was crummy and it needed to be...

    Rusty screws on spark arrester

    I took a look at the two screws on the flange for the exhaust pipe/spark arrester on my RTV and they are rusty. I soaked them with penetrating oil, but I don't think that will do it as there aren't really any angles for the allen wrench to grab. Any ideas? Has anyone had to drill out the screws?

    1140 Roof/Windshield/Mirror install

    Picked up the factory plastic canopy on Saturday for our new-to-us RTV 1140. We kept the old plexiglass windshield from our Mule and recut it to fit the RTV. After 11 years, the plexiglass is fine. We used a special blade for plastic in the jig saw and taped the windshield where it was to be...

    Some thoughts on the 1140

    I finally got up to camp and put about 2 hours on the 1140 this weekend. The snow was so deep that I could really only drive it where I had plowed with the tractor. This was really the first time using it on our property aside from putting it in the barn when we got it in January. Still have...

    Used 1140

    In my previous posts, I have mentioned I am looking to get an 1140 this year. I was planning on a new one, but was open to used if the right one came up. I just came across an ad for a used 1140 from my local dealer. It has 500 hours. It looks like there is some rust on the bottom of the...

    1140 glass windsheild and metal roof

    I have wanted an RTV 1140 since they came out and I will have saved up enough to buy one this spring. I will be selling or trading in my Gator 6x4 and Mule 2510. From all I have read, I would like to go with a glass windshield which means I have to get the metal roof (it is not compatible with...
