    So what does the A/H stand for. It shows up when you are looking at parts diagrams

    Starting threads properly

    The serial number for the machine itself is 13160 and as previously posted is a 2012 Kubota RTV400ci. This may be a little after the fact now, as I have figured out both the engine and clutch problems, and it is now starting, running, and driving fine now. A couple of questions I've asked in...

    Will try to improve my posting technique and use paragraphs. I understand how this may be more readable. As I mentioned previously, I wondered if lack of responses was that few or nobody else even had one of these machines.

    It is. And upon further research about this cam/ ACR automatic compression release, I've found that early cams did not have this feature, and later was superseded by a cam and different part number that did have these additional parts to provide the automatic compression release. As I mentioned...

    I will post the serial number of the unit (side x side) as you suggest. I do understand the alert notifications that shows up at the bell icon on forums such as this, and watch for them. Thanks for your help.

    I'm certainly appreciative of your response to, at least, let me know that other members are seeing my posts.

    Starting threads properly

    Posting here to see if I'm starting threads or posting correctly for this forum. I realize the title of the forum has tractor in it, and that is probably the primary topic of this forum. But I've posted numerous questions about a newly acquired RTV400ci UTV that I'm doing repair work on, and...

    What is an acceptable, readily available trans fluid for the Kubota rtv400ci other than what the owners manual lists, Kubota UDT or Kubota UDT-2?

    2012 RTV400ci clutch removal

    Am removing the clutch on my 2012 RTV400ci to do engine repair that I posted about earlier. Am trying to remove the drive clutch bolt and it is really stuck. Can someone verify whether this bolt is conventional right hand threaded, or does it happen to be a left hand thread. Want to verify...

    2012 RTV400 CI no compression

    Upon further looking at the parts diagram provided on the Messicks website, for this machine, in the engine section, the page 160000 view shows the cam without the afore mentioned parts that I'm wondering about whether or not they are missing. If you scroll down to the bottom of the engine...

    2012 RTV400 CI no compression

    By unit serial number, do you mean the serial number of the side x side itself? Was hoping to find a parts diagram or manual for the engine itself, as this issue really has nothing to do with the rest of the machine. I might add, what does the ci in the machine name stand for, and what does the...
