I'll also agree with BC and Arthuritis on getting a dealer involved. I bought my 900 a few years back from a dealer with 750 hours on it. I paid $6800 and it looked a bit rough around the edges. They had just taken it in on trade. The dealer said it needed a u-joint, seat repaired and couple of...

Wander around here and see how that one compares to these. I agree it seems high. https://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/farm-equipment/for-sale/list/?manu=KUBOTA&mdltxt=RTV900&sortorder=8&SCF=False

Seems the Blackwater has taken over from the Grim Reapers a while back. Can't argue as those that use the Blackwater's are experienced members. A couple thoughts, The aggressive tire will make a mess of lawn's etc, but I doubt that is a concern here. I found the best place to buy is Discount...

My 04 900 runs right near the cold mark if I just drive it around. If I haul a decent load in summer or plow snow in the winter I can get it up to about 1/2 way. The temp sender is new. It did previously get hot on occasion but that was due to a defective fan control that wouldn't turn on the...

This is a good suggestion but around here they won't sell seatbelts. My local guy says just a liability issue and he also said the new ones have an explosive bolt that fires and locks the belt forever in an accident and they cannot be sold. Worth an ask but the old days are gone around here.

You might try these folks. The streetrod/hotrod guys like Juliano's. http://www.julianos.com/Seat-Belts-s/96.htm You could convert to three point belts if you are driven that way. They have about every style and prices are fair.

Not sure from your post where you live but Welcome. If you have a Discount Tire near you, stop by and talk to them. A couple of years back, I was looking for tires for my 04 900. I asked here and then searched the web. Discount had little on their website but when I stopped in to the local...

I thought my 04-900 also had a bad sending unit as the gauge seldom moved above the bottom mark. When it did move it moved up rapidly into the hot range. I finally decided that the rapid rise in heat was due to a defective temp switch to the fan that did not actuate the fan when the temperature...

I agree with the orange color particularly if you are close to pubic hunting land or travel roads. I have hunted in Michigan for over 50 yrs and I gave up on public land years ago. Too many amateurs in orange and it only takes one. As far as deer seeing color, according to the Michigan DNR and...

Ask around about a used or rebuilt one or getting yours rebuilt. Google can be you friend here. Ebay has used for about $2000. Not inexpensive but better than a new one.

A service manual would help but the best I can suggest is to go to the Messick website, register with your email address and look at the parts diagrams. Hopefully, you'll see the exploded view which might help with understanding the disassembly. Hopefully, before you need to do that, someone...

Look at the skid plate under the engine. Looks like an attachment bolt.

Same question here. I've done cars like that but never saw a utility vehicle that seriously rusted. IAC, durn nice work.

It's interesting that more than one member has this issue as my 04 does just fine. I generally raise the plow before I put it in reverse as that makes the shift engagement easier with the lever but power hasn't seemed to be an issue. I guess I got lucky with mine. Kanook, Snowed yesterday but...

I plow a fair bit with my 04. I generally use 2-wheel drive unless I have deep snow which requires 4-wheel drive. A while back I pushed too far across the road and spun the wheels in 2-wheel. Engaged 4-wheel and it backed right out. Take the previous advice and look into filters etc. as my 04...

Many moons back, one of my engineers had a saying "If you want it to happen, make it happen" Good things may come to they whom wait but it might be in the next decade. Things do fall through the cracks. "MAKE IT HAPPEN" It keeps the angst level down and the blame game under control. Bob

BC, It would be a good option for Doc but I'd love to see a forum member get a good machine, as this appears to be, at a good price. Bob

When you go to pickup the 1140 just pick this up at the same time. https://www.dieselenginetrader.com/Engines/Kubota/D1105/90797 Just feeding the fire.

The question I would ask first is what happened. If low coolant, it could be a leaking hose or radiator which I would prefer. If low oil it could foretell a lack of maintenance and I'd want to know more about how it was taken care of and it's service history. My 04 900 has about the same hours...

Here's a fixer-upper that could be a nice vehicle for the initial cost plus the price of a new/used engine. If I were in the market for one I go look at this one in a heartbeat. Just over 1000 hrs. https://peoria.craigslist.org/snw/6047966525.html Add one of these and drive happy...
