I had a 790 for about 10 years. Engine was bullet proof. Frame ground from battery was always an issue. Finally put a new longer ground lead on it and moved it out of the battery compartment to the frame. It was easy to adjust the hydraulic bypass pressure with a cheap shim kit installed...

Has freon been added to the system using a can and not a gauge manifold with a vacuum pump connected on it? Systems are factory charged, after a 30lb vacuum is applied to remove any traces of air. When adding freon from the can from the auto parts store, the line does not have an vacuum...

Changing the transaxle oil isn't going to fix your problem you described. You need to remove the transaxle, drain the fluid from it and open it up. You have at a minimum, a gear failure inside of it somewhere. If it has been run with water and metal contamination in it, you will probably need...

Sounds like you need to pull the transaxle and crack it open. Train the fluid first and see how much sparkly stuff and/or metal chunks is in your oil.

Do you want to go really fast? Buy the Polaris. Do you want to trail ride with of the other UTV's? Buy the Polaris. Do you want to pull and haul loads around your farm and woods? Buy the RTV. Do you want a tough, dependable work horse that will traverse on all kinds of terrain and sip fuel...

Have you pressure washed the inside of the sleeve connector? If you have, dont. The inner sleeve has to be able to move out when you pull on the hose. If you are pressure washing them, the lubrication for the sleeve and the balls has been washed out, making your pull release that much more...

My farm has been soggy wet this year so far. So, I am being over run by everything. Including poison ivy. We went 8 days straight with rain in the middle of June. The past week, it has finally dried out enough I have been able to do a bit of dirt work around the farm without loading up the...

But...........it's on it's own trailer and they can deliver it to you........think of the possibilities of what you can do with a trailer delivered to your driveway, with a piece of junk on it, thrown in for free........:sneaky: Is the glass half empty or half full?? :boobies:

Glad you finally found the problem and devised a way to get the steering wheel off of the splined shaft. Did it look like they had possibly put some type of loc-tite or glue on the hub?

It sounds like you either ordered the incorrect rings or they sent you the incorrect rings. Third option would be somebody had been into this engine before, changed out pistons and sleeves with a aftermarket set.

The past year, he has brought home a bunch of big boy toys to use on the weekends around the farm. I think I will keep him around for a while.....he is turning out to be quite handy.....:beer:

6-10 ton vibratory. Son-in-law works for a CAT dealership. He can bring home a demo unit on a weekend.....

We can get millings down here in Tn. They are doing so much interstate construction and resurfacing, the plant has a massive pile in one of the side lots. I don't want to put any down until after I build my equipment barn. I'll need a couple of trucks of concrete for the slab and I don't want...

Asphalt millings are a great topcoat, also. The rest of my farm lane has a 2b gravel base, with 7" deep asphalt millings applied and rolled in. Just like pavement.....until the 80,000 pound cement truck rolls down it during the rainy season.

I top coated my drive close to the house and parking area with crusher run. It's a mixture of crushing fines and small stone. Easy to spread, level and back pull, packs in like cement when water is sprayed on it while compacting. Don't try to compact while dry.
