I agree with rleonard, it is likely the control cable. Mine broke at the connection with the knob. To get by until I could replace the cable I pulled the cable out from the control knob end (the fitting broke) and I just move the louver using a set of pliers. A new cable cost was about $50 if...

I just picked up a new RTV-X2C and here are my reactions after loving my 2021 RTV-X 1100C for 1200 hours and 9000 miles. • First thing I noticed is how much quieter it is inside the cab. Very nice and not expected. • The sifting is indeed much improved. Just driving around it is easier and...

The stock dome light has a position for it to be turned on when the driver door is opened. I wired in a read switch on the door and a small circuit board that will shut the light off after x minutes (adjustable). Works great. It is easy to run the switch wire right to the dome light. There is...

This method allows for the light to automatically come on when the gear selector is put in reverse. The parts you need are highlighted in yellow. I then made a simple L bracket that is attached to the vertical member just below the dump body with a 4-5 inch LED unit.

Easy solution for lack of backup light - I purchased part of the back up beeper kit and then instead of the beeper I made a bracket for a LED light. It works perfectly - If interested I can send a list of the parts you need to order to make this work. Took only an hour or so.

If you can find a used BOSS V-Plow that would be the perfect. I've had two RTV's (X900 and now X1100C) and the BOSS plow works extremely well. I'm in New Hampshire and I plow almost 2 miles of hilly dirt roads and I've never had a problem keeping the road open. I have a F-350 with a 9 foot...

My 2014 X900 had the transmission flange at the muffler bracket break and it took some argument to get them to cover under warranty. I had had it for several months and plenty of the warranty was left. At first they said someone must have stepped on the tailpipe!

I did not see any residue, but there may have been something. It was not going to come off without. a puller. Anti-seize is on it now!

FYI - I just found my muffler rattling badly and upon investigation I found the two bolts that hold the muffler bracket to the transmission missing. I had heard a funny rattle while driving, but the minute I stopped moving to investigate it would stop. I suspected the muffler but it seemed...

A few years ago posted about what I have done with mud flaps for my X1100C. Try this link: https://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/threads/mud-flaps-for-x1100c.19066/

It has been a while, but I have finally found the issue with the mode control - the cable got a kink in it at the control knob and when I tried to straighten it the cable broke. A new one is coming. The biggest problem with this issue was getting the steering wheel off! I drove it for almost...

The hub is plastic with a metal splined insert. I've soaked it in penetrant and driven it for many days with the nut loose. I have yet to figure out how to use a puller on it as it is plastic and odd shaped. The "skirt" that hides the tilt mechanism makes it impossible to hit the hub from...

Interesting - After trying to figure out what has gone wrong, I found the recirculating/fresh air slide would also not move. This time I found the cable housing clamp not attached at the slide end. I snapped it back in place and it works fine now. I suspect that is what is wrong with the vent...

Thank you very much - This confirms I was right in thinking I have to remove the steering wheel. The item you circled looks to me like it is the blend door and above that is the vent control, but in any case I need to remove the entire upper dash piece and that remains a problem. I really...

Thank you Smilingreen. Nice photos! I don't know how my cable would have been compromised as nothing has happened or changed recently. I tried to get to the actuator but so far haven't had success. I can get to the temp actuator but have not been able to get up to the directional actuator...
