Confession for the benefit of others: I just now noticed the belt missing for the alternator. It's broken and laying down in the bottom. My lights and instrument cluster were destroyed in the crash, so there's no warning lights and apparently not much battery drain. I'm impressed the battery...

Update: I can see numbers next to the relays, so if this diagram is the same for my year, it tells me which one. However, I put a paperclip in the connector for the temperature sender (on the thermostat housing), and the fan comes on anytime the ignition is on. That's perfect, because I can use...

Hi, I found a box of relays just above a box of fuses, but there's no cover on my relay box so I don't know what is what. My radiator fan isn't turning on, leading to boiling water out of the radiator overflow bottle. I took the fan out and thoroughly cleaned the radiator, and I tested the fan...

Looks handy, but just remember the people in that seat are going to get crushed in a rollover, and will experience much higher side to side forces than the driver (farther out from the pivot point) trying to throw them out the side of the vehicle in certain bumps. You can't judge the side to...

I have a 2011 RTV 1100C, and when my engine is off, I can turn the steering wheel with resistance trying to turn the front wheels but not with enough force to slide the tire on dirt unless it's moving. The result seems to be that I can steer a little, but if something wants to make the tires go...

Looks good. Can you tell me what you do with the mirror that appears to point down into the bed? Are you able to see what you're backing up to? I'm thinking about upgrading from my 1100C to an X1100C for the better suspension. Do you take yours on rough terrain? Have you ever been in an old one...

I have a 2011 RTV 1100, and I broke a rear axle because both sides were shot when I bought this. I've bought all new bearings, seals, and two new axles, but I'm stumped on how to get it back together. I usually just pay the dealer whatever they want for these things, but this job was going to...

My dealer told me I don't have suspension, even while he had it for service. When he wanted $1800 for the two axles ($420 for both from SuperATV), I didn't keep asking about more parts. I was able to find the bearings and seals for $28 each side, although one side showed up missing a seal. I...

I live in Alabama, outside of Ft. Payne. I have a 2011 Kubota RTV 1100C. It's the older style rear suspension with about 2" of travel, and U-joints instead of CV joints in the rear end. It does still have leaf springs and shocks, but they barely move.

The wife won't let me put out poison, and she's not wrong. It seems like I can get some of the population with anything I try, but not all. I keep switching trap types and bait types. I'm interested in trying the red hot spray, but I can see myself rubbing my eye after working on the rig...

Are you looking at the groove worn in the face of that part, and saying that's the metal you found? I'm not doubting you, just asking. What part was able to hit that, or was there something foreign in there? Just thinking of a water pump impeller, if it contacts, that's because a bearing isn't...

I don't have turf tires, but I did buy new tires on amazon and kept having to add air because I like to run over honey locust trees whenever I see them. my jeep tires are thick enough they don't care, but everything else does. I put a gallon of Slime into the tires, more or less evenly...

2011 RTV 1100C. Very worn out, like me.

I broke a rear drive axle u-joint, so I have it all apart and I discovered that the passenger shock was mounted backwards and had broken itself. I'm guessing the factory did that, but it could have been the previous owner. It was obviously wrong because the bump stop didn't even point at the...
