    Hand throttle on RTV-X vehicles

    I thought the instructs were pretty clear….except for how to attach that control-knob to the stamped-steel-mount for it… but my Son-in-law took it upon himself to do the install for me…. so I found the installation to be exceptionally EASY. (Get your daughter married-off to a handy type and...

    1120D - Steering When Not Running

    I the steering tires are “off the ground”…what does it matter..? The steering wheel is attached to a “orbitol” type steering actuator.…and the steering reverts to “manual” steer-ability when the engine or hyd’s are off. It’s stiffer…fells much like an older automobile with power-steering (pre...

    Kewl RTV add on's

    Yes…I mounted it by drilling 4 holes in the floor of the bed to install 1”x1” angle 22” long. The school bus seat sits inside the angles and 4 holes were drilled in the vertical portions of the angles. Lynch-pins pass thru those holes and matching holes in the legs/stand of the seat. One...

    My wife and I were sitting in the garden drinking iced tea and admiring our garden…. when the plastic owl, which as been on the fence for two years to keep birds off the peach trees….began to make a “rattling” noise …which made us look….just in time to see a bird fly out of the hole in the...

    RATS .. How to repel them from your engine compartment

    I toss “Tom Cat” blocks into the corners of my shop and garage where pets can’t get to them…but mice can. We find dead mice not long after. If you cannot prevent desirable animals from getting to them, then also buy the TomCat recommended traps to put the bait into. HBTexas…any chance your...

    Thread size and pitch for the RTV-XG850 oil drain plug?

    I don’t THINK so….. the OEM plug is a 1.5 thread…while the drain valve you linked is a 1.25. The correct Fumoto plug is: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/tools/f106n-fumoto-drain-valve-w-nipple-14mm-1-5

    RTV Recall

    When your unoccupied, parked RTV is sitting in the dark…. it is a hazard to other vehicles unless it has reflectors. THAT is why this qualifies as a Recall.

    Steering issues: Last week my steering locked up on my Kubota RTV 900 Diesel 2006. Any thoughts on where to start checking for solutions.

    With the engine OFF….can you turn the steering wheel at all? The Orbitol controller may be failed or blocked.

    RTV Recall

    I don’t understand why anyone not holding a stealth-job would not want to be seen by an approaching vehicle. With distracted drivers these days….it might Save Your Life.

    Need weather-strip help

    Call your local Kubota Dealer….tell them NOT to special order it for you…but simply include it in their next regular delivery… and call you to let you know when it’s “IN”. No freight will be charged.

    Is this how it should be?

    Lessee now…. it drives great in 2 WD … 4WD also….and runs up hills with alacrity just fine…. but spins it’s rear tires when pushed up against an immoveable object….Hmmmnnn…… I think you’d best let your “friend” wrench on it until it DOESN’T do what it was designed for. :rolleyes: (just...

    Buzzer for emergency brake.

    I addeed a “sonalert” to my tractor because I kept forgetting the brake…and the tractor has so much power it was easy not to notice. Loud and obnoxious, with a repetitive “beeping”:: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083J449DV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    new tires

    Anyone wanting to make hand-rails or such might find it easy to buy some 1-inch square tubing and simply insert it into the bed rails. This is what I realized when I wanted to make some passenger-security-rails when I installed a school-bus seat in the bed of my X900. (click on the pic to...
