Hand throttle for 2016 RTV X1140? I can't find one....Is it a unicorn?

So V4497 is the kit with a longer cable that is different from the 900-1120? Makes sense

I'm on with my local parts guy to see if he can get the kit. So, I'll see if he knows anything.

Don’t hold your breath

Right?!

I guess Kubota local doesn't use the same part numbers as Kubota national. Really?!??
He doesn't know how to convert that number so he has to find someone that knows how to convert the number. I don't blame the parts guy, I blame Kubota national for doing this to the local parts guy.
He says he'll call me back, at the latest, tomorrow.

I emailed my parts guy with the 1120 kit number V5243, he got right back with $99 on a stock order

Yeah, I'm afraid your parts guy doesn't understand how to order "whole goods kits". Kubota does a very good job of assembling kits for many, many options on all their equipment. If you took your RTV to a dealer to get a hand throttle installed they would use the same kit you are trying to buy. I've bought several whole goods kits over the past 6 years. Every one of them has used a part number starting with a V.

Hang in there. At least now you have the kit number to take with you if you have to change dealers to order.

Thanks all of my doom and despair is gone. (One of my favorite Hee Haw songs)


You are right, I CAN get what I am looking for. It just might take me a minute or two to get it into my greasy paws.
