Thanks for the honesty! I'm using MFA's top end product (about $60 for 5 gal.) and not having any problems. Don't have your hours yet though.

Yeah... I've pretty much made up my mind to just use Kubota filters, initially via the kit. Not a lot of savings there. Went shopping for Diesel engine oil yesterday and decided to stick with the 10W-30 the owners manual stated. Since it was 15F out, during the day, I was a bit concerned...

Cool cool idea that never occurred to me. Use to build large aquariums and have a lot of PVC experience, this should be a snap.

Much to my surprise, and pleasure, the owners manual just recommends good old fashion SAE 10W-30, with CD, CE, or CF API service classifications. Odd, depending on which web page I look at, CD and CE are considered obsolete and CF may or may note be (it was the standard back in 1994). I...

That, of course, is the question! <smile> Also of course, I wouldn't be doing the cross reference, I'd like the parts store do it! Next time I'm in town, I may ask them just to see. Oh, it appears the air filter cleans up pretty well using a compressor. Any reason to replace it? That...

All - as I mentioned on another thread, I want to baseline my filter changes on my RTV900. (Short story: Had the dealer do this before, but lost my records, and economics now require me to do this myself). Found this guy on e-bay...

Post replacement report: the fluid was definitely emulsified - it looked like an off white salad dressing. I flushed with some Champion 4000 I had available (UDT rated), three times, until I couldn't see any more contaminates. Filled with the Champion and it sure steers a lot easier now! Did...

Great news folks. Two weeks have gone by and we are back at the farm. First thing I did, even before unloading the dog, was to hop in the Kubota and test the steering. It was 44F today and I figured if it was a ice problem, today should have fixed it. Much to my joy, the steering is working...

I actually feared the wife (always blame the wife when she isn't watching) added water, but it would have displaced some oil and raised the level in the reserve. Fortunately the reserve is right where it should be.

Super UDT TWO? I had to look at my jug and sure enough, the last stuff I bought was SUDT2. However, my owners manual claims I should use UDT or SUDT - no mention of SUDT2. I'm guessing that is newer stuff?

Yeah... it does now that you mention it. I'm still due, per the owners manual, for a fluid change, so will do that anyhow. Alas, if its just the key sheared, I would think I would be able to manually move the wheels when I have it jacked up, but no go with that, either with the engine on or...

No gear that I know of, which has me baffled as well. My running guess is ICE in the line, preventing any hydraulic fluid motion. Won't know until it warms up over freezing out here. Oh, this is based on the classic "oil and water don't mix" theory, which would allow the water, in this...

Thanks all. BoarderCollie: When either up in the air or on the ground, the front tires are immovable (at least by me and without the aid of anything like a sludge hammer). Once in a while, when turning the wheel, I'll feel a little bump - like a broken gear trying to engage, but that is it...

I looked up the process before posting, it seemed simple enough. The only question is what happened? Is it cold related? And what should I do with the old fluid? Burn it? (This is a farm, got to use it for something!) Suspect I should wait until its over 32F. Cheers.

Hi all - I have an approx. 6 year old RTV 900 with 420 hours on it. All was fine when I pulled it into its storage shed 2 weeks ago. Temp has dropped a lot since then, with a few nights around 0F. About 20F right now. Went to back the RTV out of the shed and noticed the steering was really...
