    RTV900 Crankshaft Seal

    Hi All Back in 2019 I posted about this same issue. To fix I replaced the crankshaft seal and PCV vent with OEM parts. Two years later the drips on the garage floor started again and are becoming more noticeable. Seems that if the engine oil level is maintained between the two holes on the...

    HST Drain Oil Observation

    During this shutdown I attended to deferred maintenance on the RTV900 and BX tractor. The HST fluid was drained from both machines and replaced with Super UDT2 and OEM filters. The RTV HST oil was a clear amber color with just a few particles on the drain plug. I don't know the hours on the...

    RTV900 Crankshaft Seal FYI

    Had enough of the oil spots on a clean garage floor. The Kubota service manual does not mention this service...you would think its similar to a car...No? WRONG I experienced the same frustration, mentioned by another forum member, what a royal PITA. There is no room to use a seal puller and...

    RTV900 Bed Crane

    The RTV900 has proven itself on my property by hauling logs over rough/steep terrain. It would be ideal if I could skid tree debris to the chipper feed table. Would this be stretching the limits? Mounted in the corner at the front or back of the bed...

    Knuckle Case Leak

    Spotted oil seepage around the drivers side front wheel. Since the CV boots were shot I replaced both front axles. But after a test drive the steering arm is still wet with oil. Its seeping from where the front axle mates with the knuckle case. I cannot tell from Messic's site diagram which...

    Replacing RTV900 U joint

    Is there a thread that provides specifics about how to remove the front drive shaft on the RTV900? The U joint is kaput. I have removed the spline/yoke pin on one side but there is no drive shaft movement after doing this. Does this require removal of the center bearing support? Hard to...

    RTV 900 idle noise

    After climbing a hill to my mail box, with the engine idling, there is an intermittent vibration sound from around the front of the engine. Sounds rotational, like an alternator or water pump bearing. But I pulled the belt and spun both, there is no end play or pulley binding, the belt is snug...

    Leaking gasket.

    To all, Since installing the new head assy this RTV900 has been running great. Ample power to climb the hills with no loss of oil or coolant. Now the next issue....seems that the gasket to the RANGE GEAR ARM is seeping trans fluid. What sort of trouble may I encounter by raising this mechanism...

    Crap Sums it Up

    Hello again. Time for guidance from the forum. Purchased my RTV900 from an eBay dealer, with a 100% feedback ranking, however my purchase was not through eBay. I have purchased from this seller previously without any issues. He admitted that he does not normally sell RTVs. He took it in...

    4WD chirp

    Noticed this during the pre purchase inspection, but since the chirp was in 4wd only it was not high on my list of priorities. The chirp is in sync with wheel rotation but is intermittent. Heard a clunk from the right front when pulling away from a stop, a few times. It can be heard when...

    After a month of restoration work...

    Parking Brake P light ?

    Guys this is not working in my RTV 900, the bulb is good. From the WS schematic the wire from the hand brake switch goes directly to the indicator on the dash. This wire is open on my rig. Buried in the wiring harness its impossible to follow without cutting it apart. Is there any particular...

    BX2350 reverse jolt

    This was a hot topic back when the tractor was new, about 10 years ago. There is a significant jolt to the operator, when letting up on the go pedal in reverse. A local dealer said it was a common problem with that year BX and seemed to think the only solution was trade it. I have been living...

    Battery Tie Down

    Hello from a new member who recently acquired a 2006 RTV900 Camo. PO used a rubber bungee cord to hold the battery in place. Kubota wants $42.69 for just the holder. Did a search but found nothing helpful, maybe I am using the wrong search words. Can anyone here recommend a reasonably priced...
