DOT 5 is a silicone based brake fluid that can't be mixed with other types of brake fluid. Dot 3 and 4 are not silicone based. Mixing the two can melt seals and O-rings and bring about grief. My old...

I just fixed two bead leaks yesterday and have to pop the tracks off today again because of a blown bearing. For the leaks I use a tire bead sealant from Crappy Tire, and yes, the Manitoba cold is...

You did a very excellent rebuild plott hound. You will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

That is definitely unique. Thanks for the pics. I may have to try that out. It will free up your right wrist while still throttling and playing with the tillers.

My operators manual says that my 86 8x8 is 975 pounds. I'm not sure if that is shipped or when the fluids are all full and 32 litres of fuel in it. It is just somewhere to start.

Hi Cyclone67, I've got an 86 8x8 and started putting new chains on. The system the use in the parts manual is in PLATES, meaning you counnt the plates of the chain, including the master link. Your...

I wish I lived a little closer, there are no other Argo folks around my place and it's not fun running with quads because they are always in a rush. I live a lot further south near Shilo. Too bad, it...

Wow,I never knew they could go that fast. Ive got a late 70's Polaris 440 in the garage that I rebuilt for someone who didn't bother picking up.Too late in the season to swap now, but maybe next...

Hi Argoguy,these buggies don't go too fast,my 86 8wheeler says maaaybe 20mph and the new ones don't go much faster, even with 32 hp engines. Too many chains and tires. They are giggle buggies. As for...

I'm with paquette, a heat gun on max and a puller will do the trick.

Planter Bob, I run the Argo version (13") on my mid 80's I/C 8 wheeler and they do everything well but swim. We had a lot of rain in Southern Manitoba this spring and I left the tracks on to get...

When you engage your tranny into reverse,take a look at the shifter shaft and make sure the lever doesn't have a lot of sloppyness to it. You will know when it's gears. Last fall while pulling trees...

Hi PlottHound, I got my 86 8 wheeled I/C for $2,000 with a custom built trailer,tracks and all the manuals. You can still get motor parts but I'm not sure about parts available for a rig that old....

I've never heard of a foot operated gas in an Argo. I've got a 86 Kb-I/C and use a twist throttle from a Harley. I'm not sure how a thumb lever will do becauase the throttle has to be able to move...

Tracks are excellent for swampy terrain and snow, up to 3 1/2 feet with an 8 wheeled Argo,but slow you down and they are hard to turn on hard packed surfaces and they don't swim at all.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I went to Canadian Tire and bought a transfer pump (double acting). One tube in the dipstick hole and the other tube goes in your drain pan. Absolutely simple and clean.

I have a 87 8 wheel I/C and was wondering where everyone is putting a bilge pump. It is a standard boat pump but seems to be too big to drop it in the bottom of the driver's side chain channels. It...

Hi watpress, I use an air chisel on all my stubborn Argo bearings and shear pins and have also started using grade 8 bolts instead. Much easier in the back country to change.

Hi Castro, would it be possible to get a few mor pics? I'd like to build a little more protection for my front end because I do a lot of fencing and sometimes make a lot of contact once in a while....
