The “main hyd tank” does indeed share the fluid with the transmission. It behaves as a “remote/auxilliary” reservoir.

Never mind. I’ve figured it out.

WHen I wrote “and the Main Hyd tank serves the steering and MAY serve SOME added accessories like plows, snow-blowers, bed-lift hyds, etc.”…. I ….MEANT …. To add that “I have none of those added accessories….only power steering.

Today I did regular service on my 2014 RTV X900, which included trans hyd filter and also the Suction Filter. The Owners Manual tells me 1.8 gals of hyd fluid (I used SUDT2) in the transmission….. and Another 2.5 gals in the Main Hyd tank (beneath the passenger seat.) My question regards some...

Your statement that “it barely farts when using starting fluid”….is distrubing. Kubota specifically warns Agains Using Starting fluid on their diesels. Why? Because it will easily bend a connecting rod(s) and then you’ve got a diesel that won’t run.

Pay a legitimate shop to fix it or sell it .

And, Oh yeah…. Japan holds more U.S. Treasuries than anyone and is threatening to Dump them onto the market. If they do…. any investments in stocks, etc will bottom …. and soon there-after Lyra, Pesos and Rubles will be worth more than a dollar.

While I have built a special roll-around-dolly type of storage rack for my PHD….. which takes up floor space …but I fortunately have available…. Many folks simply hang their PHD from a tree using a chain or come-along. That could be anywhere in the yard and not be in the way. A come along...

You’ll be glad you got your new tires in a timely fashion. Chinese and other Asian mfr’s are already shutting down production because orders have been cancelled due to tarriffs. Home-grown tires will jump in price not onlybecause of the shortage but because the new price will be...

The owner’s manual of my RTV 900X specifies how much oil is req’d with an oil filter… and if I put that much in it…it would definitely be overfilled. I was suspicious so called the dealer to confirm the oil dipstick PN…and the one I have is correct. I went to the dealer and measured the length...

I rented a one-man PHD from Home Depot one day to plant 10 small shrubs. I got One Hole dug about 10” deep before I had to stop in order to prevent broken wrists and torn rotator-cuffs. When one of those hits a rock, root, or clay…. it will try to Jerk your Hands Off the ends of what’s left...

Any chance you could re-visit your Amazon link… click on Orders / Returns…. and find the link to the part which worked for you….so the rest of us X900 owners can find it if our starters die..? Thx.

I bought my RTV X900 with very low hours/miles from it’s second owner… so Kubota would not notify me about a recall. (First owner put <50 hrs on it and decided it was the wrong model RTV for his company’s purposes, second owner <400 hrs developed a health issue and decided against buying the...

It finally died after almost ten years. Replaced with a WalMart Everstart of equal rating.

Old inner tube…tye-wraps or hose clamps.
