Answer my own question I changed temp gauges to a VDO and now have some temp readings to share. Normal trips around the farm the temp gets up to 205. One road trip between farms running flat out it got up to 215. Seems high compared to my other diesel engins but considering the indirect air...

Mechanical gauge I have decided to add a mechanical water temp gauge to my 900 and am wondering what the normal operating temp should be for this engine under load. BTW, can't use normal off the shelf gauge as the sensor wire needs to be about 74" and most are 72". Believe me, I tried every...

RTV 900 starting issue Not meaning to hijack this thread but I am having a starting issue that others may have as well. My RTV will crank just fine but if you don't depress the accelerator just a little it will crank forever and never fire. Just a little depression and you hear a click and it...

My used 900 came with a plastic Kubota windshield but it looks like someone tried to clean it with fine grit sandpaper. Has anyone tried to polish these windshields with any success? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks b/c. I have a service manual on cd ordered so I may be able to answer these simple service questions on my own. I have read through this forum for the last couple of months and find it to be very helpful, and without all the negative feedback often seen on similar sites. And I...

Thanks Realtree. Yes, I am talking about hydraulic fluid and I am replacing with the correct oil. Can't believe how dark the old oil was with just 400 hours. Probably the first time it was changed?

Decided to change the hydraulic fluid on my "new to me" 2007 rtv900 with 400 hours on it. I have seen on posts that there are two drain points but I can only find the one with the manget. Maybe a different model has two points? Also noticed the reservoir under the eeat did not drain. How do...

Berryman tire sealant Tired of flat tires on my tractors and RTV, I bought 5 gallons of Berryman tire sealant. I found a calculation to determine the ounces per tire but no where can I find the ounces per stroke of the pump. Short of pumping into a measuring cup I wondered if anyone on this...
