    oil capacity

    If the level is between the full and add mark you are good to go. Overfill will damage the engine more than a slight underfill. Start it let it run for a few min then shut off and immediately check the level and note the dipstick. Let it set for an hour and recheck to see the differences. If...

    Rear Brakes Squeaking, but they are wet brakes?

    Rtvx 1100C? Yes the brakes are in the gear case outboard of the differential. If the brakes are to tight or are overheated for any reason the steel plated can warp and cause intermittent friction. Some cheap oils can break down the fiber disks cause swelling and do the same. Low oil in the...

    Very useful information. Thank you for trying the mix and match of the pistons in the rotating valve assy. And your results with resurfacing the brass valve plate. Your finding the source of the screaming is significant also. Many should benefit. Thank you

    2006 RTV 900 won’t move

    Yes the charge pressure relief. The poppet is for the high side. I vaguely remember another poster on here that couldn't get more than 25 lbs charge pressure. His problem was an incorrectly assembled charge pump.

    2006 RTV 900 won’t move

    It is possible for the hoses to come apart on the inside. It is also possible to assemble the charge pump backwards. It is possible to have some debris in the pressure relief valve and make sure the hst releif poppett isn't stuck partially open

    Advice on purchase of a Commercial Grade UTV for trail work

    As much as i like and admire the rtvx1100c i will just give you my honest opinion of your question. What you need is either a skid steer or another toolcat. From your description the rtv will just be grossly overloaded and will eventually fail. But knowing that it still is the best...

    2021 RTV-X1100C overheating / fan belt problem

    My ac compressor runs off of the same belt as the fan and alternator. I suspect you may have some sort of emissions that i dont have? Or a hydraulic pump for the accessories?

    2021 RTV-X1100C overheating / fan belt problem

    No i can't unless you take a pic of the driven unit. My x1100c doesn't have that arrangement but i also don't have a front drive or kconnect on mine. By chance are you outside the usa.

    2021 RTV-X1100C overheating / fan belt problem

    You have a front snow blower or a k connect? Take out the single cross bolt in the drive shaft and retract the shaft a little. Loosen the belts and replace

    2021 RTV-X1100C overheating / fan belt problem

    Loosen the alternator and replace the belt with a new one. Your water pump isn't turning. The noise you describe was probably the loose belt slipping. 96 hours? I have over a thousand hours on the oem belt

    X1100C Engine RPM

    Yep your not going to hurt anything at 3600 rpm. The engine can handle much more without problems but the hydrostat is a different question. I think above 3800 to 4000 rpm the pumps can't fill and will cavitation occur then destruction. But at 3600 your well in spec.

    Speed control and hard shift adjustments

    The stuff on the plug is just from the gearcase. It is normal. If you want to know what's in the hst you'll have to cut the filters. Make sure you drain the gear case and the tank because they are separate

    RTV X900G-A Bogs Down Badly

    Ok thanks. Your engine shouldn't bog down or die. So as others have said it would be good to start simple. Pull out the spark arrestor from the end of the tailpipe if it had one or if it is the other kind you remove the plug on the bottom of the muffler and gently tap with a rubber mallet...

    RTV X900G-A Bogs Down Badly

    The power train is a diesel engine that drives a hydrostat than in turn drives a gear transmission. What bogs down? Does the engine loose rpm? When this happens does it smoke? Are you on an incline and how is it loaded

    X1100C Engine RPM

    Sorry i don't have any current sources. The availability and prices of these have improved greatly over the years. My tool is manufactured by OTC for caterpillar but it is a service tool that has photo a magnetic and the pulse clamp. It isn't something you dash mount like on a tractor. I...

    New '25 rtvx

    Let it break in real good and most of the stiff shifting gets better. Note that i think the 2025 models are not straight cut gears anymore.
