I finally replaced my front axels on my 1979 argo my question is there any reason why I can not drill a second hole in the axel and sprocket so I can use 2 bolts or roll pins instead of just the one. This seems to me that this would make the weak point of the axel stronger. Anyone have any thoughts.
It would suck, but you can move all your new gear back to the rear axel or what ever. I dont mind changin sheer pins, but the ones under the battery and under the clutch are misrable when it is cold and wet on a trail
That would be a great solution except both front axels only cost me $40.00. I hear you on trying to replace roll pins thats why I wondered about doing a doubel pin system up front.
Drill the second hole. use a 5/16 grade eight steel bolt in both holes. A friend of mine has a 1984 eight wheeler and he replaced the roll pins with bolts and hasn't had a problem since. He was replacing the roll pins continuously.
Left out one key problem the new axel is a little larger diamater then the old one. The bearings and everything fits ok but its snug so dry fitting is a little trickey I dont want to damage anything
Ok quick update the tempature droped 10 degres and now everything fits with ease maybe just dumb luck who knows, but with any luck I might be able to actually test drive it. I have only had it a year and have yet to see what it can do
