    RTV 900 Moves in 4wd but not 2WD

    The guys on here are first rate and most are real knowledgeable. I'm not to bad for an old lady farmer but don't remember some details like I use to. How many hours are on your machine? The u joints would look "broken" and just hanging (in my opinion) if they were the sole culprit. So...

    RTV 900 Moves in 4wd but not 2WD

    The rear u joints in the old models are easier to replace than they used to be just because the parts are more available. I replaced mine several times in the years I owned my 2005 and then 2011/12 RTV s. The first time I did the replacement wasn't the best but the second time was pretty...

    2008 RTV. 500 Starter spins but does not engage motor

    On my Roxor, the starter is sorta hard to reach with a hammer so I used a fiberglass round fence post (1/2" dia) to extend the hammer's reach. Also have used a wooden dowel rod. A few wacks and I was back going. Replacement starter is still on the shelf waiting.

    Think of trading the x1100c

    I wish my Roxor was automatic- lots of gates here and then moving cows are more complicated with the gear shifting.. I do like it though. I can't believe that I've had it 5 years this past April...

    front one piece drive shaft

    I had to replace the boot on my one piece before i sold it in 2019. The center floor panel is removeable to make it more accessible . Look under the mat and will likely need to use penetrating oil and the rap of a hammer to set the screwdriver in the head of the bolt. ( I think it was a big...

    New Headliner and Post Covers for John Deere 7210

    We've had a JD 7210 tractor for about 20 years. This tractor is the smallest in the bil's "herd" of tractors. He has 2 4020's that are parked and just enjoyed for the memories and then 2 larger JDs ( 6150 and 6155) that we use for clipping pastures and pulling the feed wagon in the winter...

    Kubota RTV 900 soft brake pedal

    Hi Bostonbob. I sold my last RTV in 2019 and the manuals went with the last one I sold. I'm really sorry that I no longer have access to mine so can't help with that. I hope someone else on here can find that for you though.

    Here's a "Talk About Anything" - II

    Ohhhh. That's makes me sad too. I once had an engine with no spark but with a little fine sanding of the rust on the flywheel, (magnitron area) I got it to fire. They don't make new stuff like the old tried and true. This one could be a golden nugget to a collector- sure wish I was...

    Remember Memorial Day

    I'll likely be working On Memorial Day, but plan to take the time to remember those brave soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedom. They never came home and so left many sad and lonely hearts . Never forget their bravery.

    2012 RTV400ci trans oil substitute

    Early in the ownership of my first RTV, I tried an off brand. It foamed - I quickly had to get a new filter and the Kubota UDT . Wasted my money on the cheap stuff.

    Front prop shaft

    What year model is it? . The early models had a 2 piece shaft set up running from the front diff to the rear transmission. they intersected at what was called a carrier bearing up under the driver's seat. They were changed to the one piece shaft in later years . For example, I had one of the...

    John Deere 3005 No start

    This has happened to me before - cutting off the compact tractor quickly to talk_- and then it wouldn't start. Nothing... First time it was because the pto was on and the next time I had left it in gear. If you have safety switches it might be something like that also. I'd wiggle the shifter...

    2007 Kubota 900 muffler

    I agree Smilingreen. If they cut off the spark arrestor it will be off balance and the tailpipe will eventually fatigue. Don't ask me how I know.

    Looking at Canopy Options for my RTV900

    I use the machines that I have owned strictly on the farm and not for anything else. Therefore I don't meet any guidelines but my own so aim for protection from the weather and that's pretty much it. If you are interested in making a farm service type roof for the RTV, you might possibly...
