Hi all
After lurking, reading, learning, learning and learning for months, it's time to introduce myself on this great site! I'm originally from northern Ontario, moved to the banana belt in 1990. Bought my first used argo last spring (a 6x6) after wanting one since I was a young kid, about 40 years ago. Our neighbour at that time was an AmphiCat dealer and is responsible for planting the AATV seed in a young boy's mind. I spent years with off-road motorcycles, specifically observed trials bikes. Through high school and for awhile afterwards, worked as a snow cat operator/mechanic and figured I would eventually have my own used Thiokol Packmaster or Pisten Bully. But that makes no sense around here in southern Ontario where having a place to use one of those vehicles is more or less non-existent. About 18 months ago I was bitten by the bug in a big way after I saw one of Rock Doctor's videos of deep snow fun in an argo. The versatility of being able to use an argo year 'round really appealed to me. Then when it dawned on me that with tracks on it I would basically have my own mini-snowcat, it was only a matter of time! A new argo is a bit out of reach, so I watched kijiji for months, teaching myself what to expect in the used argo market. Finally found a deal I couldn't pass up. Then, about 4 months after getting my 6x6, I purchased a used 8x8. Both were found close to home which was a bonus. Both now have supertracks, although I have not put them on the 8x8 yet. I've rebuilt the driveline in both units and am very pleased with how well these things work. I'm having a great time with them. I have learned a lot from this site - there is a wealth of information here, and many great people as well. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge-you've been very, very helpful. Cheers!

Hi Muddyriver71, welcome to the site. For the wiring diagram, look in the manual section of the site here: Max Wiring Diagrams. Also, use the search here on the site and you should be able to find some threads on the topic. Here are a couple to get you started:

New here. I remember when Popular Mechanics ran their first comparison on 6x6,8x8, coots and Pugs

Always enjoyed them.

I love those old Popular Mechanics with the 6 wheeler test articles from the 60's and 70's! I collected a bunch of them from garage sales and swap meets. You can find some more interesting literature here:

Hi seabear6x6, welcome to the site. Good luck with acquiring the Hustler.

I am a newbie to the 6x6 world, but I have been riding 3 & 4 wheelers my entire life. My grandfather and I bought a pair of 6x6's in need of restoration last weekend. His is as Hustler and mine is a ATTEX SUPERCHIEF 500. He will use his on the farm and I plan to play in the mud when the lake is drained in the winter months. I hope to meet some local riders here in East Tennessee. Also, I hope to pick up some useful knowledge to restore/repair our new "projects". I will begin building our house as soon as the weather allows so it may be a while before I can start on mine though. I am anxious to begin because I always enjoy spending time with my grandfather and I now have a son of my own to share a new hobby with. I see good times ahead! Happy riding everyone.
