Two New Things

man thats a mean lookin machine you got there.and that winch jeez you can pull yourself out of any kinda jam with that thing.we got alot of them plants down here twoguns.the funny thing is i went riding one day and yanked one of my boot guards off of my rhino it's now been two years and i still am riding around with just one.i have a rhino and i'm yet to make one part for it.i'm waiting one day i'm gonna rip a boot off.i really don't run through the bushes because of the missing guard i tend to stay on the trail or in the mud.maybe one day i'll get me an rtv that way i can make me some stickstoppers for my rhino.lol
 
Whatever you do DON'T touch that hogweed. It is worse than battery acid for what it does to skin. Call your county extension or ag office and they will have a crew take care of it. That is some nasty stuff for sure. We are having some show up here in Steuben county as well as feral hogs. The hogs are moving west from the Binghamton area.
 
i don't know about had weed but man they have something down here called crab grass .this stuff will light you on fire.whats funny about it is if you see the plant and touch it nuthing happens but if you don't see it and touch it it burns the heck out of you????

Bill,

I had the PA DCNR or DEP or whatever government office is responsible for its eradication out last year after finding it in several places (as close to 200' of my property and I was worried about the kids).

I had him meet me at the house and I took him to the closest patch. He said that it's not "Giant Hogweed" and therefore not being the specific Federal noxious weed they're looking for, they don't do anything with, or about it. We drove around and I showed him 10+ other sites. Same thing.

The town is now spraying what they find so long as it's not on private property.
 
Two Guns: do you just remove the two bolts that attach the tailpipe to the muffler, then wrestle the spark arrester piece out of the muffler? Izzat about it? Does the arrester than detach from the tailpipe so that the tailpipe can be reattached to the muffler?
 
Two Guns: please disregard my 6:40 pm inquiry about the spark arrester. I arrested it and removed it with extreme prejudice.
 
My 900 has 328 hours on the clock. The spark arrester looked about like the one in the pic posted on this thread earlier: lotsa black sooty gunk on the screen. I cut the s/a off at its base and remounted the tail pipe, but I haven't driven the machine enough to notice any difference in performance or sound.

In looking at the pic of your winch, which you posted on Aug. 14 at 10:43, I see you have the same piece of winch stabilizer located beneath the winch mount plate as I had. Where did you get that piece? I have no recollection at all of whether it was something I purchased separately or whether it was included with the winch mount, and I don't even recall where I got the winch mount. I have a Ramsey winch, so I'm guessing I ordered the winch mount from Ramsey also, but I can't find a similar mount on Ramsey's website (which is a pretty weak website, if I say so myself).

It's that beneath-the-mount piece that I torqued off my 900 last week. The piece is warped too much ... I can't get it flat up against the frame for remounting. If I knew where to get one, I'd order it. I may have to dive into the garbage can and retrieve my warped mount ... maybe a local machine shop can straighten it out.

If you know where you got your mount, please let me know. Many thanks.

ALL TERRAIN ONLINE

That is where I have purchased 90% of my add-ons from. They are more than fair. Prices are
comfortable. And the support is super. They are some great folks over there !!!!

1-877-896-7565

Let us know how they treat you.

........ also, great you removed the arrestor. I have no doubt that your RTV appreciated it !!!


..... jamie
 
Many thanks for the link to All Terrain online. I browsed their offerings and did not find the winch mount piece I'm looking for. The pix for Ramsey winch mounts show the flat plate mounts that go above the front bumper and attach to the frame, but they don't show that curved piece that mounts beneath the winch mount ... and that's what I'm looking for. However, I'm just guessing that the lower piece is included with the winch mount kit ... I don't think I would have ordered that thing as a separate purchase. And I see you have one on your winch mount ... so it must be part of the winch mount kit.

For what it's worth: you may want to visit a Fastenal store (or such) and buy a coupla 2", 12mm, fine thread, SAE No. 8 bolts and nuts for your winch mount. Remove the two OEM 1" bolts (they're SAE No. 7 bolts) and replace them with the 2" bolts ... then mount the 2 new nuts as locknuts.

The bolts are fine threaded. I don't understand why. Coarser threads have higher tensile strength and do a better job of resisting stripping ... counter-intuitive I know, but true nonetheless. Mine stripped right out. I've go pix on my iPhone but haven't loaded them onto my laptop ... guess I should do that.

Thanks again, Mate.
 
PS to All: While sitting out here on the back porch and enjoying a right hard rain on the tin roof, morning coffee, and surfing the 'Net, I remarked to The War Department how much I enjoy and appreciate this Kubota RTV forum. She asked whether I disclosed to everyone here that our RTV900 is "her" machine. Well ... ya'll know some of the smart tactics we men have to use on our unsuspecting womenfolk to purchase the things we "need."

So ... let the record reflect that "my" RTV900 is actually "her" RTV900. She just lets me use it.

Good post Heatwave. Been there done that. I know of what you speak. :thumb: :yum:
 
Heatwave, I laughed out loud when I figured out who the War Department was. After the salesman at my Kubota dealer sold me my RTV, I had to resell it to the boss back home too. There is a psychological force field around my house that resists all the "crazy" stuff I come home with. You wouldn't believe how "delapidated and unreliable" I realized my 4-wheeler and stealth cart had become just prior to getting the RTV. Now, the boss really likes the RTV. I may be in danger of losing it to her as well...

>>>>> and I hope she does get it. That way I will not feel alone. EVERYTIME a new rifle is purchased, she wants to claim it. ( She's a big hunter too )..... New deer stands, equipment, crossbows, bows, spotting scopes,
duck calls, blinds, and let's don't forget the knifes, Cuddeback camera's, or the Thermacells.

Oh yes, I created a monster when I showed her how to pull the trigger. But trust me, it keeps me on my toes as well !!!!
