Hi 2810guy, I'v always done well dealing with Tirechains.com for chains and repair parts,hope this helps,jdh1

jik, Hi i've been using a stick on pad type engine heater for a couple of years now with good results. i'm in NY state so it gets pretty cold,0 to -10 quite often. It really cuts down on the cranking, and also engine noise on startup. The one i'm using is the Proheat model # 154 about $ 50.00...

EZ Chair, I have a wireless Ramsey winch on my RTV and I really like the option of being able to stand to the side and watch whats going on. I don't care to be in the RTV if i'm stuck because it's usually some off camber spot and i'm bellied out. No need for both me and the RTV to get hurt. Also...

TwoGuns, thanks for the reply, I might have to get one of those, jdh1

just wondering, do the high mount air cleaners take the same elements as the stock ones, is it just the air box thats bigger? jdh1

KT, in your previous post you said the filter that clogs was the one on the rear of the RTV, isn't this the suction, orange, filter ? My understanding was the one on the side , with the cooler was the HST, yellow filter. jdh1

BigBen, Good luck with your new toy, and your welcome for the advice, I hope it helped, jdh1

Two Guns, Mine makes a little extra noise in 4 wheel drive, I attribute it to " machinery working". but I have developed a rattle in the front drive shaft AT IDLE. If I put my hand on it it stops. I have the updated drive shaft but i'm probably looking at a early replacement. jdh1

hammerhead, I have a #3000 Ramsey wireless winch mounted " in the pocket". The advantages of the inside mount are ease of installing it, the mounting holes are already there, and untill you need it, its out of the way. I also have a snow plow and looking at Twoguns photo i'm not sure if the...

two guns, now i'm thinking maybe hydraulic return line? keep us posted,, jdh1

coobie, just wondering if you took notice what these clamps were connected to? I don't have my RTV here and i'm trying to figure out what antifreeze would be doing near the rear wheels. Maybe tranny fluid? jdh1

If possible I try to back up a little bit after I use the diff. lock, it will usually release the tension on the drive train and disengage it, just like locking hubs on a pickup truck, jdh1

grapeman, sounds like they work OK, I have ATV tires but I still spin them pretty good on the hills when its frozen. thanks for the reply, jdh1 PS, i'm probably not that far from you, in Spencer, about 15 miles south of Ithaca, so I know what you mean about the mud, especially the last few...

bigben, Like Twoguns, I have a Ramsey winch. Mine is a #3000 lb wireless model. I've mounted mine in the " pocket " in the front, using the mounting holes provided. It's a little tight in there but if you acess the winch from above through the plastic flap over the winch it's not bad. I really...
