Hi guys I am looking at a 1999 Argo Response with 245 hrs in good condition the owner says it need seals before hitting the water. It has a 18 hp vanguard engine $4100 is this reasonable what are the pros and conns of this unit ? My brother has a 2014 Argo 6x6 with a 23 hp engine seems like the 8x8 may be under powered.
If it leaks or told it needs new seals jack it up probably needs bearings. How do the chains look and the chain tensioners? Jacked up wiggle the tires if movement then bearings will need replacing.
I haven't went to look at it yet guy says his son said the seals on the front left leaked slightly but he had it in the water with no issues also said chains and sprockets were in great condition could possibly need adjustment but it all works great.
Can the responce handle 25" tires?
Any issues known to plague this unit?
No-go on the 25" tires. Stock are 22x10x8 Runamuks. Betting the chains and bearings have not been changed with 245 hours on it. So keep in mind the bearings and chains might need replacement soon. Rear bearing extensions are an option on the responce.
