I put on 2 new tires today and started servicing it. I greased every zerk I could find but I could only find them on the outside bearings. No zerks inside the tub. I had to pull the carb off and...
So I received the manual with the Argo. It?s a 1987 model with the 18hp Kohler engine. It only has 192.5 hours on it! A mouse has gotten in it and chewed a few wires though, so I?m going to have to...
Well I guess you can say I?m afflicted with the sickness now? I bought another project lol. My wife sent me a facebook marketplace post for a Argo. They were asking $1200 but I offered $1000 and they...
Quick update on machine. Still runs like a champ ,right around 160 hrs on it now. Need to do that axle service where you change gear oil for bearings. Notice I’ve got an axle seal starting to leak...
Great seeing everyone. Had a great weekend, wish wind would have slowed down, didn't ride as much as usual. Doesn't help when stuff breaks lol. Everyone take care until next time
With 2 of these kits I had all the bends I needed to make my exhaust in the size I wanted. The price was decent for mandrel bent tubing from what I've seen. I made the pipes 16 inches of 1 " O.D. pipe. I did this based on what the mower racing guys recommend. Actually they recommend 12 to 15 inches but 16 worked easier on my machine to get the exhaust to exit evenly. After the 1 " pipe I opened it up to 1.25" O.D. pipe for around 12 inches to exit the machine. The flanges I ordered direct from Briggs Part #692074 this should work on most Vanguard engines.
I had a local welder weld it for me. One note here I tried to have it welded off of the machine but it is next to impossible to get everything correct without tack welding it while on the machine. My first attempt ended up horrible I had to buy more flanges and if you look close the pipes are a little to the right of center because of what I had to cut off. Oh Well live and learn!
I finished it off with 2 RLV silencers for 1 5/16" for modified engines these can be purchased on any Kart racing website. To clamp them on I used 2 piece split shaft collars in 1 3/8" and these worked better than I hoped. I then used a standard ratchet clamp to stabilize them together.
I may attach a metal brace to the engine if it needs it
