For anyone looking here is another resource that I made a post on in case it helps. https://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/threads/2008-rtv-900-floor-replaced.19739/#post-145949

Made a video showing the install process and what they look like after install. If you drive a lot on the road I’d caution you because these scatter a lot of light with the stock reflector housing.

Here are the 1:1 scale drawings. You can print these on size E paper or print the PDF in poster mode and tape the sheets together.

I haven't noticed a difference in engine noise, but it is quieter because the old floor rattled from the loose pieces.

Got to fixing the rusted out floor on my RTV. A previous owner made a repair but I wanted a project to practice welding. Don’t judge the welds 😆 I’ll post the CAD file here in a bit so you can use it with a CNC or print it out. I used 12ga steel which worked nice and is solid. My center piece...

Finished the small shield this morning. Happy to share CAD/CAM files if anyone wants them.

Replaced the rusted out and broken heat shield today. Back with 12 gauge steel. If anyone wants the CAD file I will post it. Next up is the smaller heat shield attached to the engine.

Yes, it is the kubota boot. I cleaned it and put some used oil on it

After further analyzing I realized the wiggling/rattling was coming from the male/female splined shaft being loose. Not sure if it is supposed to have that much play in it? I replaced the oring, cleaned and greased the shaft and that did seem to improve things. Also replaced the oil seal...

By the way, I responded to your earlier comments bordercollie, but seems my new member status limits which posts are immediately visible without moderator approval.

Pondering here...wonder if the CV joints in the front axles are the same as were used on the propeller shaft? If so, maybe one of the aftermarket front CV axles could provide the parts to rebuild the propeller shaft :unsure:

That is great info. Fabricating a new floor is on my list of things to do, mine is rusted out and repaired poorly. Seems as though this repair has stumped many in the past who are not yet willing to bite the $771 bullet. I am quoting a reply I just made, but is waiting for moderator approval. I...

Yes, that is the one exactly that I am trying to fix. The front joint on the long propeller shaft is loose so I'm not sure if even a boot replacement will fix it as the CV joint seems to be worn out. I'm wondering if anyone has found a source for the CV parts? I may try and pull the shaft off...

Ah ok, thanks for the link. The one I am trying to repair is the one that goes down the middle of the RTV from the transmission in the rear to the front differential for the 4WD

Would you mind a link? I've searched high and low, can't find one
