Plugged a pressure gauge into the charge pressure port. I'm only getting 20psi. Checked the charge relief spring like the manual says. Looks fine. Now what?

New to me rtv 900. When I got it it would barely move under full throttle. Figured it wes the wear plates on the hst motors. Replaced them, now I get no movement at all. Even tried switching another complete valve plate. Hst motors were all in good shape. Changed the trans filters as well...

I swapped it with another one I had

Near as I can tell it was bad seals in the valve body where the bottom shaft runs throught. Oil was leaking past the seals and draining out the small drain hole in the bottom of the valve body.

Older RTV 1100 that I'm working on. The alternator is charging but the charge light on the dash stays on. Any ideas?

Got it fixed. Took the hst apart to find the front motor pistons badly worn. The face of them were pounded out flat not convex like they are supposed to be.

Changed oil and filters - no change Pulled out forward and reverse relief valves - no issues seen Pulled charge pump check valve - no issues apparent. Any other ideas?

New to me RTV 1100 Will drive forward and reverse up until maybe 20% throttle pedat movement. Anything beyond that and it stops moving like the hst pressure dumps. If I come back to idle it will move again. Jacked up the back wheels and disconnected the servo rod so that I could run the...

Trying to sort out an oil leak out the bottom of the hst on my x1100c Appears to becoming from bottom plug #90 in parts diagram attached. Replaced the o-ring on it and it still appears to be leaking. Not much, but a sweat shows up around the plug after just a couple of minutes of sitting...

I had several of these failed transmissions apart. Usually a failed bearing on the swash plate. When that happens it won't move at all. That's why this one has me puzzled.

Purchased an old rtv 1100 with suspected tranny issues. Engine runs good. It moves fine until I press down on the accelerator more than about 20%. If I do that it stops moving all of a sudden like the hst pressure is dumped. If I let it go back to idle it will start moving again. Any ideas?

It's not the coupler or hoses. If I switch that cylinder to another valve it works fine.....wondering if one of the solenoids is weak and not pulling the valve all the way.

Just got an rtv x1100c with front quick hitch, 2 function hydraulic control (v5232) and blade. Hitch with go up, but not down. I can hear the solenoid make a noise but it won't allow oil through the hose. Had one like this awhile back that had a switch wired in so that when activated the hitch...

Solved. Removed all of the fuel lines from tank to lift pump and made sure they were clear. Replaced spring clamps with hose clamps. Previous owner had a longer fuel line from the lift pump to injector pump which made a loop. Replaced that with the short piece it is suppose to have...

Troubleshooting for a friend Kubota rtv x1100c. They were having issues with it randomly shutting off when they were using it. Said it would run fine for a couple hours and then randomly just shut off. Said if they left it a couple hours or overnight it would usually restart. Problem is now...
