Rtv 900 overheated, a stick found the bottom hose. i'm not in the habit of looking at the temp gauge as it hardly bumps off cold. thinking it could have been 5 min to 25 minutes with reduced/no cooling on a slow trail ride. soooo it got hot. Few drops of water on the head sizzled off in a few...

checked over the rtv and one of the lower ball joints was loose. the ball joint is ok but its like the nut was not ever tightened properly before it was pinned. figured no problem i'll tighten that up. But the nut and threaded part both spin together and i cant see a way to tighten or remove...

anyone found a gas cap that works on the early rtv900's? finally got around to ordering one and it still doesn't fit right. Thanks, D

Have a 70's ford 335 with no glow plugs and no chains. Had some snow to move and after a bit of work and a small miracle got it started on a -16 degree morning. After finally getting it started it was darn near useless in the snow. It probably would have been less work to shovel. it was so bad...

Anyone know which of these fits the worksite hydraulic remotes? Surplus Center Thanks

So I have installed the hand throttle, and like it, the torque is "right there" when you are climbing, that's good stuff. No more stomp and release on the pedal to get over a hump. Anyone take off the "coast" mechanism or have a way to adjust it? I would like to try life without any of the...

Hi All, Just wondering how you replace the rtv fuel filter, took a look and if I pull the filter it looks like the tank will start to run out the hose. Do you put a clamp on the hose to keep the diesel in the tank? is there a better way? Also if there are any tricks to installing the hand...

I know it doesn't have a carb, just trying to have some fun. It's running ever so slightly rough at idle, and smokes when started cold. Only 100 hrs on it. Sound like it needs injector service already or is this all normal? D

Looking to put a hydraulic winch on the RTV and don't know too much about hydraulic QD's. What should I specify to mate with the worksite hydraulic QD's? FWIW i'll be using a milemarker hydraulic winch to do some light winching of firewood, rocks and small sawtimber. Yeah I know , not optimal...

So was rock crawling with the RTV, had it in diff lock 4wd and approaching a 3 wheel rock (3 on the ground) somewhere in the rear goes TINK! sounded sort of like when a stubborn bolt breaks loose, but loud. It was not the frame dragging. RTV seemed to go OK after that including diff lock and 4wd...

Hi there, Have large acreage of mixed woods in NH, (several hundred acres) last harvest was 1980ish before I got the property. Love working in the woods, although the rocks and wet make it a real challenge. Locating trails can be a challenge between boulders, but it can be done. Had a cruise...

Hi, So I think I have figured out what tire/rim combo I want on the rtv900. Dealer says its OK to go 26-12-12 on the RTV with bx rims, but will only put the R-4's on. (dealer owner runs this setup). What I want is the rims with carlisle tru power tires on them (4 or 6 ply). I think the bar tread...

Hi Everyone, Been lurking here for a long time, lots of good info here. I have an RTV900 with mattracks. This is a little awkward because I don't want to slam them, but I am having a problem with the tracks that the factory doesn't seem to be able to fix and was wondering if anyone here has run...
