Russ, welcome to the forum. Have fun with your Swamp Fox

Hey guys I'm new to the amphibious vehicle and I was wandering if there's a way I can find out the year and stuff like that the SN#8543. The guy said that it was a 2000 but I know better than that I think it's like an 89' or so.thank you very much for adding me to this website!!!

Fordracingdude, welcome to the site. I am assuming you are talking about a Max 6x6 with that serial number. If so, look at the thread at the top of the Max forum. You can use that to help estimate what year Max you have. Without even looking at that thread, I can tell you it is much older than a 2000, probably by 20 years.

Hello 6x6world,
I am new to owning an argo 8x8 and I am looking forward to using it for hunting this year.

Hello Argoman84, welcome to the forum. Have fun with your 8x8.

Newbie to 6x6
I have owned a custom build motorcycle shop for 45 years I retired 5 years ago
Bought a junk Swamp Fox a year ago and I'm just finishing it up now

Hi phantom, welcome to the site. Post some photos of your Swamp Fox when you get it done so we can admire your work.

Just picked up my first Argo tonight. Traded an old 4 wheeler i had for it. It runs and drives, has a polaris engine in it. Trying to figure out what year it is exactly, was told it's an 85 but i think it's older. Has some cracks in the tub i need to fix and a few other things.

Greetings All.

I picked up a Sidewinder from a forum member earlier this month. I've been spending most of my free time reading 6x6World.com posts and studying pictures. My machine appears to be a copy of the Hustler 950. 18 hp Briggs. Axles are keyed. T-20. 22" Rawhides. The machines operates fine but needs attention.

I've got the frame out and starting the restore process. I'm counting on the knowledge of the 6x6world experts to help me through the endeavor.

My plan for the little machine is access to my remote cabin in the summer/fall before the snow cover allows use of the snowmobiles.

Dennis, welcome to the forum. Good luck in your search for an Argo.

Derek, welcome to the forum. You gained two wheels in your trade so you had to come out ahead, right?

Greetings Brad, welcome to the forum. Good luck in your restoration. You already have a good looking Sidewinder to start with. Once you rebuild it mechanically, you should have a fun machine.

Just bought a new to me Argo last month. I had a Max when I was stationed in Alaska, enjoyed it much. After I retired from the Air Force in 2009 I came back to Albany, Ga. Got into deer hunting again and needed something to get me through a swamp. Of course everyone said I needed to buy a Polaris Ranger but I started to think back to my Max. Now I started looking around for a Max but came across a 2005 Argo and bought it. The jury is still out on the Argo, I found the steering cantankarous, tempermental, and complicated in relation to the Max. After I get through rebuilding the Argo brake system I may change my mind. But right now I feel the Argo inferior to the Max with the T-20.
