Finally third time was the charm.
I used an old Harbor Freight vacuum pump, a canning jar, couple spare fittings and some hose.

I took the hoses off the pump I got from Amazon (this pump worked...

I have a 2020 850 and have not had any belt issues while running tracks.
We put on a bunch of miles ice fishing last year and only greased bearings and oiled chains as recommended.
Everything is...

Agree with tbone9 completely.
Never take a chance when you know it is unsafe.
The one time I had it happen it was a surprise on a very cold 10 degree day.
Snow covered pressure ridge near shore...

Ice fishing is what I bought mine for.
It is the best ice shanty ever.
I put a bait cooler in the back along with the pack and a K-Drill and it is mobile.
It saved us on a unseen open slush spot...

That is what I do with mine. It is also the garage for it.
I did do an aluminum one with extra height as well as the roof wont fit the standard height trailer.
That helps with long hauling.
I...

We have had the Aurora 850 in the water a few times. It gets a lot of looks and comments.
I did remove the top and fold down the windshield and we do not have a ROPS.
It doesn't take much of a wake...

If you are running a windshield and or cab may want to look at a cargo trailer.
The tops are not rated to haul on an open trailer.

I did a 7.5'x14' and it fits great with a bit of extra room....

I would say try it on a trail before you buy.
I have a 2020 Aurora 850 and there is not a single good way for a passenger to hang on to anything.
My wife hates riding on trails in this, so now used...

I run the standard Argo rubber tracks on the Aurora and have no issues on ice.
I pretty much only use the Argo for ice fishing exclusively. Best ice shanty ever.
Sadly it sits in a trailer for most...

I will check the next time it is out of the trailer.
I have not tried it with the wheels on yet.
Hate to admin it, but didn't know I could until the last time I had the tracks off.
Still learning...

Thanks. I have the pliers ordered. Should be here tomorrow.
On the Aurora I have an easier time reaching the filter location from the front under the hood than through the firewall.
Hope to try...

So after a bit of persuading I got the tube for the pump down the dip stick tube.
Pumped out the oil and worked pretty well.
Then I went to try to spin off the filter.
That is a bit tight. Never...

I added a LocknLube to my pistol grip hand pump gun and it has made life much easier.
Stays on zerks when you want and releases easily after.

I have the $20 amazon pump in the cart.

Thanks for all the responses.

Perfect that was what I was planning to do. Didn't know if a cheap Harbor Freight one would do the trick or if I should go bigger.
What ever I get I can use on the outboard as well.
Thanks for the...

What do you all use to drain your oil? I see many options available.
I have a 2020 Aurora 850 that is in need of an oil change.
This will be my first Argo oil change.

Guess I need to check a few things on the Huntmaster 850.
I had a wheel loosen and come out of the track, but that was on me.
I also noticed that it does not hit close to 3mph on water.
Barely...

I bought a LockNLube for the grease gun after my first service. This makes it much easier and I didn't pull out any the next time around.

I also pulled out about half the first time around.

The...

Right or wrong I run 3Lbs in my Aurora tires with the Argo rubber tracks and that seems to work well.

My Aurora 850 with the Briggs Vanguard does fine.
I have not seen any overheating issues at all. Winter or summer.
I also have not seen the need for heat while going on multiple ice fishing trips....
