Check my profile pic. I built those tracks over the first covid winter. Ever since I have been trying to get stuck and can't. 1" angle grousers spaced 4.5" apart. Different then your setup but the...
Get some small angle steel on there every 3 to 4 inches. You will have traction for days
I have mud lights on my 84 8x8 alternating tread patterns. Rear most tires are in the 4 wheeler orientation and switches back and forth from there. They will keep you moving forward slowly in calm...
They are terrific in mud and swamp muskeg. They will move you in the water slowly if mounted the right way. I found that out the hard way with all mine in the reverse (argo tread) position and had to...
I use duro mud and snows on my vanguard 2 reversed tread with the knobbies cut off in between the chevrons. They work well in the soft stuff and keep me moving forward in the water. I also have an...
Should be all single 60 no? And on my 8x8, it's older but should be roughly the same I think I bought 40 feet of chain to redo all axles. A bit left over. Get some extra master links if they are not...
it's a great machine. Dead simple to work on. One thing I would suggest is to have some good 5/16 bolts around 2 1/4 to2 1/2 " long kicking around to replace the axle pins if they break. Bolts are...
I don't think a problem as much as something that just happens. The brake fan just helps to avoid overheating. Mine is wired to come on with the key. Been thinking about putting it on a switch for...
Ask what the motor is. I have an ic8 mid 80s with a kohler 17 in it. Brake fans came standard. It's fiberglass right into the firewall
I would check the high tension wires for continuity/bad connections/messed up heads where they connect to the spark plugs themselves. Sounds like when you wedge them around you force them to make a...
I've searched around a bit and come up with nothing... just looking at it there is only one way to do this and it's with the engine out of the machine. I agree the engineers realy should have come up...
So after some exploratory surgery... the stator is pooched, shows continuity between the two leeds, and the regulator im going to assume is done too, it melted the connection to the wire leading to...
Check the kill wire coming off the ignition coil hasn't become unplugged. It needs to make a connection to ground through the key switch to shut off
Howdy all, I'm working on a frontier 600 6x6 with the briggs vanguard 18 hp in it (not my own). I changed the battery because the origional was showing 4.7 volts on the meter and would trip the...
+1 to getting the tire wider in the track and getting the guides a little tighter. The less slop sideways the better. You just gotta get the balance figured out for your tire/track combination....
My tire guides are touching the tires both sides at all times. I would defidently cut the knobs off the inside of your track if they are causing the wheels to ride up higher.
I've been considering doing a switch for mine on my 17hp 8 I/C I can't see a down side other then forgetting to turn it on. But it would only take a minute or to to cool down the breaks if you...
Mine run nice at 6,7,6 . It's an argo vanguard 2. It's all about finding the balance between the tracks being not so loose as yo slip , and not so tight as to kill bearings and axles. In my case not...
When I built my tracks I went through quite a bit of trial and error to get them right. My tire guides are 3" so that may not be your problem. Getting the length right is probably the most critical...
Good catch with the brake pad! It's always nice when something is a no parts fix
