    RTV 900 Moves in 4wd but not 2WD

    Bordercollie et al, The Diff Lock was frozen and but now is free, lubed and working properly. This is the first time the machine has had this capability since my ownership. This machine is a Tank/Beast! I have read many articles about lack of speed but for my needs it is perfect with the...

    RTV 900 Moves in 4wd but not 2WD

    Thanks for the guidance folks. Got everything changed out yesterday and have 2WD working again; even climbing hills in 2WD low. Took the better part.of the day getting parts cleaned and doing the U Joint "phasing" wasn't so simple working solo. Rear axle hubs were from Messick's and the...

    I have 1980 hours on the machine. I am the second owner and purchased in 2016 on a US Gov auction. Init was operated by the National Park Service. U joints do move wobble when turning wheels by hand. Just thinking that splines are worn to the point where the wheels engage only sometimes when...

    RTV 900 Moves in 4wd but not 2WD

    Sir, all of you are a wealth of information and I enjoy reading the various threads that you direct me to. Do you think the worn U-joint would involve "no" movement whatsoever or do is it likely that something else is going too? All of you seem to be very handy, i.e. mechanics/machinist which...

    Got the machine off the ground today and noticed two things: 1) inner U joint (right rear) noticeably worn with tons of play. No idea about condition of in the inner U joint. Tire turns when placed in F and R when off the ground; 2) tons of play on lt. rear wheel hub. I think the bearing is...

    RTV 900 Moves in 4wd but not 2WD

    Greetings, I am new to the forum. Have a 2005 RTV 900. Machine moves in 4WD but not in 2WD. Engine revs fine in 2wd but will slowly engage and move slightly. Any assistance in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thx Wayne
