Hey guys, my buddy had been searching for a cheap argo for quite some time. Then stumbled across this one on his land! Could I get an ID on this unit? Cant quite figure out if its an Argo or a Prairie bobcat. It's 8X8 and has alot of parts that look similar to modern day argos as well.

Hmmm, it says ARGO all across the front but I'm not 100% sure
It's an old Argo.
Looks like Argo to me.
And personally......... I would not bother with one that old. But that's just me
I prefer the Hyd Brakes, newer style Brngs and Axles, and slightly heavier construction.

Does anyone know what year it might be? or is this THE prototype? ha ha ha. I looked all around the body and couldnt find model or serials or anything. Not even an argo stamp.
Well, it does say Argo on the engine cover.
Just sayin...
At a guess mid to late seventies. Plate should be on dash as far as I know. It says "ARGO" all across the engine cover !!! or did you miss that ??Originally Posted by Xplicit
As Rock Doctor says, there's better models out there, having said that, if it came for nowt and costs next to nowt to get running what you got to lose ?
nubs good eye!yep its a argo.
Looks to be post 79 Tecumseh as the gas tank is on the right and the molded vents over the muffler, probably has HTB on the serial number plate on the firewall if it has dual chains.
looks exactly like my buddy's 1982. 16 hp tecumcseh and double roller chains. The weak link's are the shear pins at the sprockets, he cross drilled and used a second shear pin. He still runs his every fall for hunting.

Just how lucky do you have to be to want something and find one lying around on your property? I'd be wishing for a pot o' gold next trip out I believe.
