Very Cool build. Any idea of the weight when finished? just wondering..
I'd say that it should be close to 1300-1400 lbs. Original machine is about 1000, I think.
I'd have guessed more. Do you have a pic of the grease manifold you're running all your lines too? I've got my conquest tire completely down and now would be the time for me to put in a central lube system.
I am likely going to just run individual lines and have a nipple for each line. Will be mounted on a flat piece of steel or something. I'm not that far along in pitting it all back together yet. Will likely be another few months until I'm to that point.
Gotcha!
Replaced the floor sheet metal last night. Old stuff was pretty banged up, and back half was pretty rotten. New sheet is 11ga. A little heavier, but it was free! Was a real pain grinding all the old welds.

Sorry for being MIA for the last little while. Moved shop at work, moved to a new house, and busy at work. That, and there's a few projects to get done before the snow flies (which sounds to be sooner rather than later).
All the Argo stuff I had at the shop is now at home, stuffed in the garage. While I haven't done too much lately, the machine shop did make my parts for attaching the clutch to the Yanmar. Feast your eyes!

Decided that a taper shaft is easiest, as cutting a keyway in the clutch was gonna be a real pain, and expensive. They modified the clutch for me and got rid of the goofy extension on the end. Haven't got the bill yet, but hoping it won't be too much.....
Nice, No half ***ed deal there:top:
Thats real fine looking pan and that clutch adapter is MOFO gooder...LOL
Looks like yer in for one terrific machine man...
The machine shop I used has a tendency for over building. It was machined from one piece, not a shaft welded into a plate. While I'm not planning to be 4 hours out into the wilderness, I don't want breakdowns anywhere. Might as well spend a bit more up front, so I can have many years of fun with it.
