New RTV owner

[7TCUDA]

Hello, I just acquired a 2008 RTV900 with about 5600 hours on it and want to fix up some worn items. Mechically it has been well maintained but had been retired and sitting for a couple years.
In searching for parts, I keep seeing "fits A6, G6, T6 W6S etc. How do I figure out what this one is? VIN is KRTV900A81097061. It does have the winch and hydraulic box dump.
I would like to put a blade on the front and need to determine if it has the heavy duty front springs.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new (to you) RTV.
Those are just different models that came from the factory. They came with different tires, hydraulic packages (or not), orange or camo paint... The "meat" of the RTV is the same.
If yours is orange and has the hyd lift bed, it's probably the worksite model. If you have more than 2 hydraulic couplings out the back (under the bed), it may be a different model.
The winch was not standard equipment on any model so it's an extra.
If it has a cab, it should have the HD springs/struts to handle the extra weight. No cab, no HD suspension.

Thanks,
It is orange - with shades of rust in the box. No cab. I do believe it is a Worksite model. I just could not figure out what the various versions the ads refer to. As long as it is a 2008 year relevant part, I will order it.

Yes, it is a 2008. The 9th character of the VIN is the model year.
KRTV900A810

SWEET!!!

Wow! You still have it?

Yes. It was hit with one of our major hail storms a bit ago and now I am planning to redo the old bodywork over the next while using AMD panels instead of the hand formed work I did back then.
FYI... a battery story for you. This spring was the first time I have had to boost it ... the Mopar battery was put in Dec. 1994...

Nice Cuda. Always love them and their cool colors. Alway a fan of plum purple.

I'll guess that you kept a batter tender on the battery for it to last 30 years on a car that is not a daily driver. Right?

 

[7TCUDA]

Nope. I have never used a battery tender. Best part of old cars is no parasitic draw.
