    Argo Beachlauncher

    Hello everyone.

    I have a 8 X 8 Argo based, beach launch vehicle.

    I know it's not what is normally discussed on this forum, but the entire drivetrain utilizes Argo components, so I would assume that common issues with Argo ATVs would apply to this machine.

    I have been experiencing some transmission issues with this machine.

    While traveling uphill, in either forward or reverse the transmission seems to slip, and at this time, there is a screeching type sound that seems to come from the transmission area. After the screech, the machine shakes, as though the transmission either slipped or something was binding it up and then released.

    This slippage also occurs when the right-side brake is applied.

    Because the machine is used to launch a boat, it always travels in a straight line, along the same pathway. I have determined that the slipping occurs at the same location on the pathway, leading me to believe it may be a chain or transmission issue.

    I have been told by 3 different Argo mechanics that it could be a sprocket, a chain, a bearing, or possibly the transmission.

    Does anyone have any knowledge of this machine, or can you provide any Argo related advice for my problem.

    I have included some pics for reference.

    Thanks in advance,
    Matt.
