Hate to bring up an old thread but I got some updating to do. I had this thing for about a month and a half and decided to change the oil. Did so using some oil recommended by the rhino forums and some of my own research. After I did it started smoking. After checking all I could from the outside I tore the motor down. It turned out the rings were close to lined up and the oil ring had collasped. After honing and getting everything ready to put back together I had received the wrong ring set (was shipped .50 over sized). I got the shop to overnight the correct ones but that was still a couple of days since I was working on the weekend. Fast forward to present and I just got it reassembled last weekend and have put a few miles on it so far. While it was apart I decided I didn't like the faded green paint. Not being a hunter or a need for a greenish vehicle I changed the color with Krylon fusion paint. Sunbeam/Safety Yellow. Here are some pics of the new color.
