I use a tach made for caterpillar by otc that has an injector line pickup on it but just for service. A photo tach works pretty good also as do those little laser type.

Change the hst oil once a year or every 250 hours whichever occurs first. Use only sudt oil. There are commercial units out there with many tens of thousands of hours on them that haven't been touched except for maintenance. Then there is the low hour machine that has the same oil waiting...

With 26 inch tires at 20 psi the extra diameter increases the ratio so i get 31 mph on good hard flat road. It will carry 28 on a grade. Speed checked with gps

Rated rpm is 3400. Set it at 3600 rpm for best performance. The hst is rated for 3800 rpm.

What year? I would check the half axles ujoints if an old model or the cv joints on the newer

Just remember that the throw on a push pull cable is fixed. You adjust by loosing the u clamp on the end and then moving the whole cable on each end. The clevis is just for fine tuning

An interesting note. The old models before the X series the hst speed lever had reverse capabilities that went unused. Some made a rocker peddle for the floor so they had forward reverse in all gears just like the tractors. Not possible in the X

With the bell crank in its detent your push pull cable should be at it's maximum holding the pedal up. The peddle must not bind the push pull cable preventing this.

Thank you. Your info and description is excellent. Your machine is creeping because the controls are out of adjustment holding the speed control lever in engagement with the servo i think. Test this by disconnect the hst speed rod with the lever in it's slowest or stopped position then start...

It is all in the x1100c workshop manual

The method i use came right out of the rtv x1100c factory service manual. The only adjustment to the servo is to center it so that the swash plate rest in neutral or in the old machines centered. If your machine creeps then the servo needs adjusted if it doesn't creep thennleave it alone. In...

John deere and caterpillar batteries are excellent long lasting batteries with great warranty. I have had similar results with napa premium batteries.

The rtv 1100 doesn't have a fan mounted on the water pump pully like the x1100c. The fan on the left side behind the cab must turn on and off in order to regulate the temp. Is your electric fan turning on and off? Also if the fan motor isn't up to snuff it can't move enough air. Have you blown...

Sticky shifting really isn't because of pressure in the hst. It is more because of gear lash friction that can be caused by the machine rolling up against the static hst or from the hst creeping into the gears tightening the lash between the gears. The rtv up until recently used straight cut...

I have had a few recall on my x1100c. There was some suspension issues at first and then the fire flap and lastly the floor mat. My dealer sent a man out for two of those and the other was done before i purchased. So recalls haven't been to bad for me. But my gripe is that it seems that these...

If you only have slight problems getting out of gear try pulling out of gear with no peddle and just as the machine has that last inch of roll

There's two issues with the pre 2024 rtv shifting. The first is the straight cut gears in the gearbox that as the machine sets on an incline the lash will be gone and there's friction between the teeth. This improves with miles. The second is mal adjusted hst speed lever causing the swash slight...

Starting the engine to raise the bed won't affect your oil level that much,just start raise shut off and check then wait a minute and check again you will see what i mean. The battery shouldn't be loosing charge just from starting. If you have alot of electronics radios amps etc then your draw...

I hope it is the alternator belt. It doesn't squeal in neutral at any rpm or peddle? Only while moving?

Very unusual for a lift pump to fail overnight. I'll gamble you are sucking air at the fuel bowl.
