    RTV 1100 Diesel runs hot.

    Is there coolant in the reservoir? My two RTV's (2014 X900) and (2021 X1100C) both arrived with very slow coolant leaks that I initially saw via the level of coolant in the reservoir dropping slowly. I found two slow leaks where rubber hoses clamped on to steel pipes. Difficult to find and...

    RTV Daily uses, What did you do today with your RTV?

    I can see that with the longer bed it is easy to have the load not forward enough. The machine can certainly handle that load, it is just seems a bit too far back. I am always amazed at how well engineered RTV's are. I've had two over 11 years and, while I am respectful of the machine, I have...

    Two questions from a ‘newish’RTV owner.

    I put 11,000 miles and 1,700 hours on my 2014 X900 and never replaced the battery and had no starter problems. It always started well in winter when temps were below 10 degrees. I turned it off when I was going to be more than a minute at one spot. I checked my oil when hot - just gave it a...

    Repair of vinyl seats

    I would certainly place this tape on when it is at least room temperature, but I can say that at 0 degrees F it has held up well. The material does conform quite well to contours if not really sharp. You can get a sense of how well it has worked on my tractor and RTV seat and they are not flat...

    Repair of vinyl seats

    My three-year old X1100C with 6,500 miles (800 hours) developed a crease tear at about 4,000 miles (my X900 did the same thing). I tried to make a repair using Permatex Vinyl Repair Kit, but that was only marginally successful. I finally decided to try Besezx Leather Repair Tape and after a...

    Replacement of Halogen headlamps with LED

    Thank you all for your advice and recommendations. I went to the ALLA site and they suggested three of their lamps to consider. I ended up purchasing the ALLA-880-ETI-56 W - 6000K Xenon White for $20.00/pair with free shipping. I went with the less expensive option as I have LED lamps on the...

    RTV Snowblower

    I would love to have the blower on mine - although I love the V-plow. I am looking forward to hearing how it works for you. The dealer I was going to purchase one from said they gave up selling them as they were "problematic" and they did not want to deal with them.

    Certificate of conformity

    It might be something to do with the registry of vehicles - a set of standards that must be met for any vehicle traveling on public roads. In my State every vehicle must meet certain requirements for what the vehicle will be used for - ie, agriculture, public transportation, commercial...

    How much oil?

    Here is something I generated so it would be convenient for me. I usually purchase two 5 gallon pails of the SUDT-2 to do the job. It takes some time to do the entire fluid change. Good Luck. Fluid and Filter Chart RTVX 1100C UP DATED: 7/2024 Fluids Location Type Quantity Frequency...

    Replacement of Halogen headlamps with LED

    There is an older thread about Beamtech’s 880 LED lamps but the link no longer works and I’ve not found a source with the same spec’s. Has anyone had recent luck sourcing a good headlamp replacement? I did try a set (can’t remember details) that worked but we’re not as good as the original...

    Intermittent wiper for X1100C?

    Yes - that is the one I used. I believe I purchased it via eBay. I was going to check my records and let you know but you beat me to it! Good luck. I love it. Especially when it is snowing .

    Mice in RTV

    Other than installing the hardware cloth over the air intakes for HVAC and engine air I spray the wire harnesses and heater hoses, etc. with capsaicin. It works and, if under cover, lasts quite a while. I use the capsaicin spray made for spraying fence post to deter horses from chewing on...

    Parking Brake Alarm

    No kit - just a beeper and a bit of wire and connectors. I used 3M Scotch Loc connectors (two port and three port) cut into the green/black switched ground from the parking brake switch and one of the pink switch "hot" wires. I mounted the beeper with velcro to the firewall behind the wire...

    Preventing rot on dump body

    I did the same, but getting the debris out should help as well. Keeping that area dry and allowing for air flow should add years to the life of the bed.

    Preventing rot on dump body

    I was just blowing out the tiny joint between the head wall and bottom of my RTV X1100C dump body and realized that in just two years quite a bit of material has accumulated in the rail under the joint between the head wall and the floor of the dump body. With the dump body up I blew compressed...

    Parking Brake Alarm

    I have occasionally driven off with the parking brake partially engaged, and although I have realized it not too soon after, it is easy to do - especially if the brake is not pulled really tight. To help prevent this I installed a noncontinuous beeper. It does work and although a bit of an...

    Replacing Door Damper on X1100C

    Try heating the socket portion to get it to expand. A MAPP torch should work.
