Seals and bearings for the axles are good to have on hand but you can source those locally along with chains. The engine is not current production I believe so you may want to look into stockpiling parts for that. The unique items would be the chain tensioner items and the sprockets. Have a close look at the sprocket teeth when you can and see what kind of shape you're in. The transmission is a tank so shouldn't give you much issue. That said, the hystat steering unit would be a pricey replacement so hopefully it hasn't been abused too much before you got it. Always have a couple extra belts on hand. Check out the wear on the clutch sheaves too. Don't have a cheap source for state side parts unfortunately. Don't know what the dealer situation is like in Norway but there is a Norway distributor who might be worth checking with on those unique Argo parts.
just found a problem. I took of the 4 center wheels. On the second wheel from the front on the left side I noticed some oil/grease on the inside of the rim. I guess this could come from an axel leak or bearing leak ? Do you guys think I can use it as is ? I think the starting point is checking the axel oil level. There doesnt seem to be much play when I twist the axel.
Yes, definitely check the oil level. But since you have the wheels off, change the oil too and put fresh stuff in all the axles. Clean it up and see how the level is on that 2nd axle after a ride. Could be a leak past the outer seal.
