1100 PROBLEM

We are about 70% finished rigging one of our 1100 (so for we have installed the following: raised air cleaner like on a 900, custom rearbed 60" wide 68" long, mattracks M3UR tracks 13" wide).</P>


Took the 100 for test drive this afternoon (about 1.5hours). We drove on gravel roads, dirt roads and flooded rice field with about 1 foot of water in them with no problems.</P>


When we got back to the shop all gauges on the 1100 showed no problems. When we got out of the 1100 we looked back at the 1100 and found a large leak of oil coming out to the rear of the cab. We checked the leak and determined it was a motor oil leak. We checked and it looks like the leak is coming from the hose that runs from the oil filter to the motor. When we checked the oil level in the motor and wefound the oil stick at the bottom of the the oil stick.</P>


We have used rtv on the farm for years and have never had this problem. We are at this time assuming that a sharp rock or stick hit the oil line. We do not know if the this oil line is in a different place on 900 or not. Will let you know .</P>

Was the clampthat could of been alittle loose, for I have heard of two other 1100's that there the clamps on afluid line, don't knowwhich line they were talking about,(ours is a 900 ) being to loose from the factory..... After hearing about this a few months ago, went over my machine with a fine tooth comb, and checked all clamps & hoses >>>>></P>

You were right as to the cause of oil leak. We had a new hose made and all is well with the 1100. For what it worth the oil filters on the 1100 is not in the same place as the 900 oil filter. We checked all of the other hoses on the 1100 and could find no sign of other leaks.</P>


Thanks for the help and I think you and I have our rtv's in the same parish.</P>
