    RTV 900 Water Pump Replace

    Now to finish the job. Discovered a cracked cylinder head. Got it tore down and just need to get online and order a head. Any advice on installation appreciated. The replacement heads I am looking at are aluminum verses the original is cast iron. Any opinions? I have located it in cast or...

    RTV 900 Water Pump Replace

    Well no reply so I'll give the results. Yes you can access the water pump by way of removing the skid plate. Very simple and much faster than removing the seat components.

    RTV 900 Water Pump Replace

    In previous a thread it was mentioned to remove the plastic portion of the seat to access it. It seems to me a much better way to access it would be to remove the skid plate and work from the bottom. Any opinions would be great. Got to do the job as soon as my pump comes in.

    2006 RTV900 Starting Issue

    My 2005 RTV did the same thing and it was the starter solenoid contacts. Replaced the contacts and solved the problem.

    Another Drive Shaft Story

    Put the 900 back together today. Still not completely happy with it. This was a very bad design by Kubota. When they developed the one piece drive shaft they should have offered it to the owners of the ones with the old system at a discount. I used some of the ideas I got from this forum and...

    Another Drive Shaft Story

    Shaft is due in tomorrow. I found out that the 25" will not replace the 24". I am going to try and reduce some of the slack by copying some or Yanmar ideas they use on their front drive shafts. I'll post some pictures when I get started.

    Another Drive Shaft Story

    Talked with Messick's today and my serial# called for the 24" but they said it could be either one. I was going to call Kubota but the web site says they don't provide tech service. They just refer you to a dealer.

    Another Drive Shaft Story

    The only down fall with that is I was planning on ordering from Messick's. I'll check the local Kubota dealer tomorrow but I bet they don't stock the shafts. Like I said earlier if the extra length is in the shaft and not the yoke I don;t think it would help any. 1400hrs It may be the first...

    Another Drive Shaft Story

    I checked the front drive shaft on my new to me 2005 RTV today. I found the yokes and the joints bad. The rear yoke at the transmission had been updated to the kind that clamps onto the spline. When I called about the front shaft I discovered there is a 24" and a 25" shaft. Mine has a 24" shaft...

    RTV 900 front tires

    The tires had the same 6ply rating as the ones I took off (atv type) and the same 25 inch height. As loud of a pop they made when seating I don't believe they will come unseated. The terrain I will be using it on will be level to gently sloping. No rough tail riding for this machine. It will...

    RTV 900 front tires

    I just bought the 900. It seems to be a good machine. Been servicing it and repairing little things the previous owner had failed to keep up. I am considering a coast valve to improve shifting. It's a 2005 model with 1400 hrs. Runs and operates good. Just wanted to know if anyone had had any...

    RTV 900 front tires

    I was changing the front outer cv boots today when I noticed the front tires were worn a lot more than the rears. Not wanting to replace the rears because they still had 50% tread, I had a couple of 25x8x12 on hand that had similar tread left so put them on the front. It seemed to improve the...
