    Kanlan v plow

    I have one of those cheap Lowes plows and it works OK. The RTV isn't the machine for deep, heavy and wet snows. Her but just ain't big enough. I have to break out the backhoe to move the big wet stuff and to buck back the accumulations of smaller snows.</p> Barrettare you down to gravel yet...

    splitting the transmission

    I got the parts, the parts manual, and the service manual from our host. </p> They were very helpful and gave me some insight into what to expect in the middle of the trans.</p> Best of all it is still running 25 hrs later!!</p> </p> Wade</p>

    Onfoot and his new RTV900 and snowblower!

    12,000 gal, I know, but the wife said there is no way she wants to run out of water.</p> Your hauling option seems fairly easy. </p> As far as using it as a heat storage tank, like you said we get more rain than you do and that means many more clouds.</p> I'm hopeing to get more time...

    Onfoot and his new RTV900 and snowblower!

    </p> <div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"> My panels are fixed at about 75 deg. I figured that would make the most of our winter sun and I'm hoping there will be plenty in the summer. I can modify the mount easily to drop the angle if need be.</p> About the water have...

    Onfoot and his new RTV900 and snowblower!

    That's one chilly looking turbine!!! Yours sounds and looks like a really great system, mine is a work in progress.</p> I hear you about where to put the snow, this is our lowest snowfall year since we got here about 5 years ago. I have a Cat 416 backhoe to buck it back when the Kubota gives...

    Onfoot and his new RTV900 and snowblower!

    Hello Onfoot</p> </p> Greetings from Seward, AK. Your snow blower looks like the way to go for those long stretches.</p> I'm building off grid also. The shop is mostly done and the house should commence as soon as the snow leaves.</p> I am installing 1845 watts of photovoltaic charging...

    Parts of your 43hr RTV you never want to see!!!!

    I'll be happy if I never need the manual again.</p> </p> On the lack of use theory, I agree in principal that very little use is somewhat detrimental. However in this case, this was a horizontal shaft with ball bearings, as such the outer race would hold some oil for the next starting in a...

    Parts of your 43hr RTV you never want to see!!!!

    </p> <div><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;">No there wasn't any warranty, it was a 2006 that had mostly carried around the wife and grand kids on the dirt road's in the neighborhood. I didn't find any stuff in the case that would have made the bearing fail. It was either a...

    Parts of your 43hr RTV you never want to see!!!!

    I found the bad bearing in my 43 hr old 2006RTV transmission. It was the first bearing on the input shaft, the cage was pretty eaten up.</p> I replaced the bearing and put it back together and miracle of miracles it works.</p> The shop manual left a bit to be desired but it worked.</p> The...
