Not sure about the 14hp, but my 18hp was leaking out the PTO crank seal. My bushing on the recoil side is worn and I think the movement wore my seal. Was pretty easy to change seal. The bushing on...

I have a well built homemade rack on mine and it doesn't like to float. In a swamp or little creek crossing not too bad, but out just floating around is pretty tippy. I don't use mine for any real...
I have a bigfoot, just tires, and its plows like nobody's business. I have a 60" plow and its ok, but would like to extend it to 6'. It doesn't wing the snow away from the machine like I would like...
Man I wish those were out before I bought my mudlites.
You might want to check out bar/lug trencher tires, they are chevron and I am pretty sure they swim.
Where I am the government enforces 5% ethanol in gasoline, Ontario Regulation 535/05: Ethanol in Gasoline. I have found now that a stabilizer is required in all small engines I run. Usually...
Has anyone ever tracked only two tires on a bigfoot? Was working on some math tonight and it looks like if I swap to 22" tires I can use a 121" snowmobile track perfectly. I know the tires won't be a...
I use bar oil, but it makes a mess, flings all over the place, my tub looks like the damn BP spill. Switching to something that doesn't fling would be a definite improvement. I have used motorcycle...
Rockdoctor has some very good videos and tips on here for some primary and secondary clutch adjustments, check out this link....
I bought 6 last year for my bigfoot, got a great deal on them at a local dealer. So far I haven't had them out in anything but snow, but the increase in traction in the snow is amazing. The increase...
In my neck of the woods Argos hold their value like crazy. I bought my 1997 bigfoot for $3500 and even though it needed work and wasn't in the best of condition it was a steal. Here is a link to one...

Have you ever done the bushing and bearing in a briggs? I have an 18hp vanguard that has the exact issues you describe. I had the flywheel off a while back and noticed the movement, I had...
It looks like 3 and 4 are the wires from the stator, if they are they should be 23 AC volts. Do they take off under the shroud headed to the flywheel? It looks like 1 or 2 is the output of the...
Are you looking for the ignition coil? or the stator? I believe G was referring to the stator coils. They should be outputing around 23 volts AC, like he says. The rectifier converts it to DC about...
I have pictures on here of my 98 bigfoot. I have a cage on mine that is incorperated, but I think you should be able to build something without. I think to get any strength your are going to want a...
I have a wiring diagram for a conquest, but am unable to get it small enough to be allowed as an attachment. Let me know if you want it and I should be able to email it to you.

I think there was a post about this very topic a while ago. I do not have mine registered or insured. It was my understanding that it did not fit into any class of offroad vehicle. I did however want...
I have heard of guys hooking a hacksaw blade up to an arc welder to cut with.
A co-worker of mine swears by "plus gas". I like my own concoction of diesel fuel and ATF oil. I use to use it all the time and was cheap as could be. Lately have used kleen flo honey goo, but am not...
Is it perhaps a 640? The 640 is a twin air cooled, electric start engine found in skidoo alpines. Not sure what years they were available, but my 1980 alpine has one, I would guess around 30 hp.
