RTV900 worksite fixes.

[kenta]

The tractor man came over last night and had the box with the upgrades or problem pieces. It turned out that my RTV was in the 20,000 numbers so I did have most of the parts. The hood past the graphite test so it was the right glue. I had a spark arrester on the muffler already. I had the white dot on the radiator cap. I didn't have a dip stick for the dump hydrolic so he replaced the cap and gave me one with a dip stick. I was a quart low on fluid. He checked the welds around the muffler, but with 10 hours there was no sign of cracking. After the fluid change in the summer we will check that again. The nuts were tight on the linkage for the gear shift. Last, but not least the steering wheel had a little play in it and when he took off the cover he found the big nut only finger tight. That was a good fix. So all is well in Vermont, but the RTV won't see too many hours till spring. I complained a few weeks ago about the hood not fitting well. The problem was not the shape of the hood fitting well, but it didn't lock tight so it was loose. The Kubota man was not sure about an adjustment so he took off the hood and it does slide back and forth so after a few tries we got it to close nice and tight. That about sums it up. I am now in the market for mirrors. Anyone know of some mirrors that would bolt to the frame on both sides, like truck mirrors. I'll check Curtis, but the dealer didn't know if Kubota had them. You would think mirrors would be an assessary with the RTV. That's it for now. I live in central Vermont and we have very little snow. I bought a B-2910 with a snow blower last winter and cleared the road 3 times, but it keeps melting. This is not the Vermont winters I know. Seems the snow is out West. Happy Kubota. Kenta
