In search of an input shaft for a old school 70s argo transmission. Unfortunately I've ripped the gear for low off my shaft... Been hunting around for a new one and so far all I've heard was good...

Old school 70s argo, turns fine when i fire it up but as things heat up it becomes very difficult to turn. Anyone have similar issues and if so what did you do to remedy this? One possibility i was...

Thanks.

Sorry no. I pulled my old frame, took the basic measurments and redesigned the rest myself

If you're worried about rust damaging the axles due to the sitting in water for so long theres got to be rust damage to the frame for sure. Those old frames are nothing but 1/8 inch folded sheet...

I just put an 18hp briggs in my 6x6. the shaft length was 2-29/32, which is shorter than the clutch. As long as the shaft goes past the centerline of the belt it is fine. A piece of threaded rod or...

Hey guys thought i might chime in with my 2 cents on this topic as i am a machinist and just recently finished making all new axles for my argo as well. First off, 4140 is a great choice. It machines...

Thanks for the comments guys. And yes there was just as much time spent designing it as there was building it, but the hours and hours spent, plus all the cases of beer all paid off and my design...

the maneuverabilty is why i love the 6x6. Sure an 8x8 is better in many ways, stability in water, smoother ride, more cargo space. but it cant match the fun of a 6x6. all depends on what you plan on...

Before bolting everything down i made a plate that fit directly under the power pack to put my bilge pumps. since i know it would be a pain to get at them if one died on my i put 2 in on seperate...

Big updates today. Its been a while since i last posted any updates, been spending all my time in the garage putting this thing back together.
the frame dropped in really nice. Everything went...

2 piece lock collars are a good and cheap backup to keep axles in place. i put 2 on each axle right up against the inner and outer bearings. used loctite on the lock collar screws as well. maybe this...

I wont be using the original ignition switch so i shouldnt have any problems. I will be using the the switch that came mounted to the motor i will just extend the wires so that they reach the...

Thanks coop. I'm gunna go ahead and move straight back from the existing holes and see how it works. If i have problems i'll have to change it down the road.
As for hooking up the positive cable to...

So i'm repowering my old 70's argo with a new 18hp briggs vanguard engine. The machine had a 16hp tejunksy in it originally. My concern is with drilling the new mounting holes in the plate. The hole...

Yea i gave it a couple coats of rustoleum. Started putting things together to see if its all gunna fit right. everything looks good, chains look tight and everythings lined up right, so im gunna weld...

Been a while since my last update, but i finally got a chance to get some work done this past weekend. Finally got the frame all finished up! i think it came out pretty good. More than twice the...

$48 from mcmaster? you gotta be looking at the wrong chain. I just looked in the book and standard double strand 50 chain is $11.25/ ft. mcmaster is where i buy all my chain, but try looking around...
