The one with the tracks looks cool to me. I'm curious to see how the suspension inside the tracks hold up to snow and mud.

Another option would be to use heat wrap or a heat reflective barrier to move heat off of the trim. Header wrap can be had for cheap and stailess steel zip ties can be found at your local lowes/home...

Good news! I found a complete shell in great condition. CarGuy (steve) gave it to me. He was a great guy to talk to and also had some cool machines to show us. Now I can do my axle swap on this frame...

i wasn't suggesting reusing bearings at all but, gathering info and pictures to show the actual difference between them. I was thinking about reusing good axles from other machines that are being...

Ok. In my recent searching for axle swap info, I've noticed that all the info is out there but just in a million different threads. Is anyone interested in helping compile info from different models...

Today I took off the upper tub and floor covers. It does have welded sprockets. It might be easier to weld the hub to the axle after I do the chains and bearing cages. Even if it bends an axle I...

Does whipper offer anything that might work? I'm going to build a set of tracks and bearing cages for this winter and would love to upgrade to a 5 lug non-pinned axle. This is what my hubs are...

id have to check again but i believe that they are welded

I emailed Mudd-ox about the release of their 21" vendettas. Not only did they email me, but they also called me and told me that it may be several months until the release. They certainly gained my...

Spookum, thanks for that link. For some reason it never came up in my searches. It might just be easier to buy a maxIV as a second 6x6. I was just wondering what was involved in the swap. I need new...

I like that patch work I have a few tears in the back by the drain plugs that I plan to patch. Looks very similar to your tears. Thanks for sharing.

Do you have access to a tig welder? it might be better to use an aluminum frame to save on weight. Steel might be too heavy making the machine sink lower, defeating the purpose of the spacer. Maybe...

Welcome, I am also fairly new here. This site is full of great information and extremely helpful people. What model of Argo are you getting?

I have read a few threads stating that an upgrade would be to use splined axles. I did a search but can't seem to find any threads with anyone upgrading to them on a machine as old as mine. I'm not...

Simple answer for me....Kids! I have 4 children ages 4 and under. Side by sides are expensive and don't float. My kids love our argo. we let them out side to play and all of them run over and sit in...

I recieved an email from argo my machine was built on Oct. 13, 1973. What is everyone using for chain tensioners? Mine has none on it now and the chains are starting to slap around. I'm going to be...

Steel C-channel is a good idea. You can make a support that runs to the frame. I told give you the added space you need and eliminates the dreaded, evil, no good, grandma's butt looking tub sag.

Cool I'll check it out. Thanks again Mike!

If you tie it into the frame you can eliminate the lower tub sagging from the extra weight of the spacer.
