Tractor mfgrs are in cahoots with the lumber, garage door and trim makers to make sure they get $$$ from all of us hitting the garages. :) Actually, I think it has to do with the height and structure at the front of the hood (in case of rollover). Imagine a line from the top of the ROPS to the...

My woodshed is across a creek that's hard to cross in the winter. I built a small pole building on the house side of the creek earlier this year. Spent a couple hours yesterday loading it with firewood. Will finish stocking it up today. Oh, the RTV wasn't used. I can haul more with an ATV...

You're going to cut the ROPS off??? Not good by most standards. Remove it... OK if you have to, cut it off, no good.

I love backpack blowers but not on anything that has fins (e.g. A/C, Heat Pump, radiator...). I've bent the fins so that's no longer a place for that machine.

We just finished a mid-west trip. Flew into New Orleans then criss-crossed our way all the way up to MN. 2500 miles and 11 States. Last month we went out west and hit all the major National Parks and points of interest in CA, OR and NV which was another 2500 miles.

We're going to hit all the main military museums and sites (as well as other places of interest), from Huntsville down to the coast. We're going to cruise along the coast from approx. Mobile over to Apalachicola. We have a place on the east coast of FL, pretty close to Daytona so we're familiar...

I'd take that as a bonus! If you have to hop off the tractor while brush hogging to pick up a log, you don't have to shut the whole thing down. Also handy when running a post hole digger.

Anyone got any advise on what to do in Alabama or Florida panhandle? The Mrs. and I are going to spend a week there coming up soon. Will be traveling from the Gulf up to Huntsville then back to the Gulf then head east into central FL. Looking for out-of-the-way sites (I think we're going to...

7x14 - Is it a 3000# trailer or 7000# trailer? I'm betting on the 7K and also guessing it has brakes. Assuming the ramps aren't rusted through, I'd think they'd have no problem with the RTV. You're only talking about 700# per tire. As for getting out... First, I'm a firm believer of centering...

Don't feel bad. It happened to me once. Darn winter boot or snow pants moved the lever when I got on. Good news is you've given your tractor a good preventative maintenance electrical inspection. :)

Do you have a jumper box? If so, connect it to the starter solenoid and a good ground and try to start it. Check any/all connectors to the starter relay.

The box says "Safety Control Unit". Not sure exactly what that means for your tractor. When my tractor encounters the no-start condition you've mentioned, it's normally a bad battery connection or the battery cables themselves. Try bypassing the battery cables by routing jumper cables in...

There are over 750 threads here about the RTV's. Grab a cup of coffee and dig in.

And did the light go out???

Hmmm. I have a 2004 RTV900 and I've only run off-road/red diesel through it and have had no problems. You have an 1100 (different engine and didn't specify how new) so I really can't advise.

Hi Bob. Welcome to the forum. Your IP shows LA. Don't get many tractor people from the city. What enticed you to join? I'm coming out your way soon. Fly in to CA then drive all over, mainly to hit National Parks.

What's your plan to secure the cage to the forks to keep the cage from sliding off the end?

Isn't that your regular engine air filter?

Pretty unsafe if you ask me. @Doc - for gutters, I just climb on the roof with a backpack leaf blower to clean gutters. I can do 100' in about 5 minutes.

Welcome to the forum. I'd probably start with ebay. I did an internet search and there's sites that do sell parts. The entire grill assembly can get pricey. If you only need the frame or a couple of the screen parts, it may be a lot cheaper. I also saw there was a video on youtube that showed...
