    Another fuel gauge gone bad

    Not sure exactly, but you just need to take it out and move the float up and down and watch the gauge...it should move accordingly.

    HIGH AIR INTAKE ON 1140

    You got good advice...all RTV models need this kit except (maybe) the RTV500, especially if you run around on dusty/dirt roads.

    RTV 900 High air intake

    BTW, the RTV1100 kit was redesigned to lower the pre-cleaner to prevent it from hitting objects i.e. this redesign brought it below the roofline. Also, there was a foam piece added to the plastic intake tube (sandwiched between the this plastic intake and the cab) to prevent it from vibrating...

    900 muffler question

    Yep, the muffler will crack around the flange where it bolts onto the engine (exhaust manifold). I have seen this happen many times...it was a design flaw and I'm pretty sure it didn't get fixed till after 2005. They added internal stiffener in the resonator portion to help prevent these...

    Another fuel gauge gone bad

    Time for New Cooling Fan

    Yeah, it's amazing how much they mark up parts and accessories and go with cheap OEM components (so you have to buy their overpriced replacement parts).

    RTV rear bearing help

    Yeah, those propeller shafts are not the best but grease fittings on those shafts and where Deerlope mentions on the axle will help prevent wear and tear. You would think grease fittings or better sealed components would have been a no brainer, especially considering the environment these...

    RTV900XT

    Yes, it does take care of the issues you mention. It took a few years for the Kubota designers to get right...better late than never I guess.

    1100 spark arrestor removal pictures?

    Yeah, the spark arrestor is unnecessary unless you run around on USFS (government) land.

    Another fuel gauge gone bad

    It took Kubota awhile to get the gauges fixed, but I think they finally got them right about 1 year ago. The initial design was poor and the Japanese don't listen very well when improvements are suggested.
