That is an excellent idea. :a1: I was getting ready to think of that myself.

The fuel injection timing (the only engine timing on a diesel) should not be the source of vibration unless it is grossly mis-adjusted and causing misfire. More advanced injection timing will increase power, reduce smoke, but greatly increase nitric oxide emissions. It should also reduce the...

My x1100CW also short cycles a cooling fan. I have not paid too much attention, but I did find it odd. The engine coolant rarely or never goes above 3 bars on the dash readout.

VA1100, yes, similar to mine except my my shaft was still connected to the "splines." So I would say in my case the CV joint itself separated. I have only 76 hours on mine, so it was a real disappointment. The only thing different that I did this time was roll my right wheel up on a snow/ice...

I owe everyone an apology. After looking at the service manual and reviewing the problem in my mind, I made an error in describing the problem. The CV joint near the axle broke. It looks like the "CVT shaft unit" is made up of 3 shafts, with two CV joints. The outer CV joint at the wheel...

Thanks for the comments. I just purchased a service manual, and will take a look at it to see if I can better understand what might have happened. You are correct that there is a castellated nut and cotter pin, and they are still in place. They did not fall off. And you are correct that...

I dropped the RTV off at the dealer today, and hopefully it will be ready to pick up in a couple of weeks. I need to check into the warranty, but I think the time has expired on my unit. Big snow is forecast for this weekend at higher elevations, so hope I can get it back into the property...

I am not very experienced at plowing snow, having spent most of my years in south Texas. However, the Boss V-Plot seems rugged, and capable of pushing the snow wherever it is desired.

I don't have that info here, and the Kubota is out at the property. I will have to check.

That is an interesting comment. Yes, I use a Boss V-Plow, and it does have down pressure, and will lift the front a little.

I misunderstood your question, thinking you were asking if it had been jacked up. You were probably asking if there was a lift kit installed. No, a lift kit had not been installed.

It was not lifted in the interval when the shaft came out. I did plow over some "drifts" that were maybe 12" or 18" high.

Had a disaster with my fairly new RTV x1100c. I was snow plowing and lost 4 wheel drive. The CVT shaft for the right front wheel came out of the wheel hub and was flopping around free. We tried to stuff it back in, but found a broken bearing race and some loose bearings. I am going to take...

Rat Zapper and/or rodent repellent I have used a rat zapper (Rat Zapper Ultra Rodent Trap - No touch, No see disposal - Rat Trap RZU001-4) in my barn/garage and it electrocutes the mice and rats. Quicker and more humane than the sticky traps. Too small for a larger animal to get in. Between...

I would guess that you have a broken spring in the injector pump.

From OP above: "The service classifications of oil descend thru the alphabet has been my understanding and that subsequent classifications always met prior requirements." I agree with the above statement. The later alphabet letters always have to meet the performance of the earlier alphabet...

The specification for sulfur in K-1 kerosene is very low, 0.04% or 400 ppm, as I stated above, https://www.cenex.com/~/media/cenex/files/fuels/data%20sheets%20and%20brochures/k-2%20kerosene.ashx or http://goodwayrefining.com/data/kerosene or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene. Yep, Jet-A...

It is true but misleading to say that kerosene should not be used to "cut" diesel fuel (No.2) in the winter. Winter grade diesel fuel (No. 1 diesel) is based on a kerosene fuel fraction, but kerosene and No. 1 diesel have to meet different fuel specs. Additive packages may be used to meet the...

My 2016 RTV X1100c came with Rip Saw 26x10R-12 tires installed all the around. These are very aggressive tires, which is suitable for my usage that involves a lot of snow plowing. I would not recommend them as the load rating is too low, 440 lb./tire. These were already installed on the...

That is encouraging information. I have been able to handle about 1' depths in the past with my RTV X1100c / Boss V-blade with 240 lbs. of sandbags in the back of the bed, but when the snow gets drifted to about 3' and crusted badly, it has become impossible. I am hoping the chains will help...
