Another question regarding my "stuck head". Is it necessary to remove the glow plugs and injection nozzle holders BEFORE removing the head? That's probably a really stupid question but I just assumed that they are threaded only into the head itself and could be removed with the head. The...

Thanks, border collie. I'll try that on Wednesday which is my next opportunity to work on it. I guess it'll just take a little patience and working at it.

Hey all you helpful folks. I, too, am replacing my head gasket. I have the service manual and figured I would follow it step by step and all would be well. However, as you might expect, I struck a snag. I removed all the appurtenances, then removed all the head bolts in the order stated in...

Might talk to you about a tailgate as my next project down the road. I believe I will just skip that oil pan dent concern. Thanks, Peanut. : )

Peanut you had my heart racing pretty good there until that "deal of a lifetime" part. : ) Just let me know what I owe you. I'll be the talk of the town with custom made fenders. It's gonna cost me a lot more than I pay you because then I'll have to upgrade the rest of the RTV to keep up with...

That proves it! Peanut can make anything! Great job, Peanut. You da man! :a1:

You got that right, Two Guns! Man, I was shocked to see how much that little ole brake cyclinder was gonna cost. Sure glad I won't be buying one.

Hey folks! I just had a brake issue I thought might be useful to report. Again, I just bought this RTV used a couple of months ago. I noticed when I bought it that the brake pedal was soft so I figured I would need to bleed the brakes soon. Well, yesterday, I noticed that I had no brake at...

He meant "now" not "not".

Good one, Two Guns! :yum:

Sorry it's not more, Doc. I have gotten a lot of good help from this site.

I like the default blue color scheme because it has the image for the "Thanks" button but on the RedGray color scheme that image is missing. I realize the place to click is still there in RedGray but I'm just OCD or something I guess.

Doc, I promise I was going to make a donation this morning, though I had decided on a meager one, but I can't find the "donate" button. Am I overlooking it or did it disappear? I know I used to see it on every page. Oops! I get it now -- it's there for the "RedGray" color scheme but not for...

Hey ZZZ2D1, you'll be pleased to learn that I ordered two new tires for the back of my RTV 900. And you'll be even more pleased to know that they are rated at the load for the RTV. I'm waiting on them to be shipped now. Meanwhile, I'm just light-loading. : ) Also of possible interest to...

I put a big ole dent in my tailgate leaving mine unattended, engine off. I didn't even have enough sense to put the parking brake on that time. It was only a couple of weeks after we got our first RTV home. It made us sick! I learned that lesson though.

That's mighty fine looking framing, jwstewar! Only thing that would be better is if it were on my property. : )

Here's one in Florida that might be a fair deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261309255681?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 I didn't see any indication of the number of hours on it from the listing though. I emailed the guy and he responded that there is a picture of the hour...

Keep your eyes peeled. There's a good RTV out there for you somewhere. : )

Kelly Blue Book gives a retail value of $7,390 for a 2006 RTV 900 in Excellent condition. So considering need for tires, assuming all else is excellent, $7,000 would probably be a fair price...

Since you haven't gotten a response yet from the senior folks, I'll try to help a little from my recent experience in buying a used 2007. First, that's low hours so good chance it wasn't abused. I would ask maintenance history even though you might not be able to trust it. Also, look good...
