The B&S works great, other than the mod to the hull. Love the power of the V Twin over the single cyl Tech that was in it. Still have to get a hood made for it to keep the twigs and stuff out of the...

Hey Nody, nice and clean installation. Have you put the top body back on yet? I have a 6x6 1981 that I installed a B&S 16 HP V twin into and had to modify the top section a bit to clear the rocker...
I agree with Malee and a few others that the price does keep some people out of owning a new or close to new machine or in some cases good used older models. So does the lack of advertising. Where I...
Yea my 16HP will pull over by hand pretty easy and the starter rolls it over pretty fast. Of course my engine has only about 45 hrs on it, so I would guess that it will get a little harder to start...
Congratulations on your new purchase and welcome to the AATV club.
Quite few places to run them. There is a new AATV club out of London.
Have fun and post pictures
Cheers,

"taking the Argo to periscope depth"
Hey Roger,
Yea your are right, I was the one who sank it. :embarrassed: I was already wet before it went under. But what isn't in the photos is that we we...
Thanks Ray,
I understand what you are saying, but I am the type of guy who believes in that when you borrow something, it goes back the same or better than when you borrowed it. I remember hearing...
Hey Bw6,
Actually the decal stated 150 lbs and Tim is 150 lbs. He moved back to balance the Argo out a little better, they are bit heavy in the front. He was on the front to pull start the engine,...
Hey Dezi,
Sorry I didn't make it to the meeting. How about letting us know what went on, or are you waiting until the ride at Ricks?
Cheers,
Al
Hey guys and gals,
I know Rick has been real busy lately and I noticed he hasn't posted here about his event.
It will be on Saturday April 24th at 56723 Jackson Line Straffordville Ontario.
It...
Hey Sharpie
Your 6x6 is a couple hundred higher in the serial number then my 6x6. Mine is a 1983, confirmed by Argo, so I would say about 1984 or possible early 1985. It has the newer upper body...
Hey thats pretty cool. :rock: About how much does it weigh? Looks like you can just move the Argo over it then lift. :adore:
Cheers,
Al
I use grade 5 bolts instead of grade 8. They are softer so as not to elongate the holes in the sprockets and axles. This setup has worked good for me so far. With screwing the sidewalls to the rim,...
Yep that's right. It is over about 2 concessions from my place. When you come down the Plank Line/Road you go pass my place on the highway.
I had mine out the other day with my boy and one of the...
Hey Dezi, looking really sharp there. You and Kev did a great job on putting it all together. Can't wait to see it out an about.
Cheers,
Al
Edited this one because I forgot how to spell.
Hey Dezi,
I will be there and will bring along my cuz. I have PM'd you today.
Cheers,
Al
Welcome mudbowl to the site from a fellow Ontarion :welcome:
I agree with the other posters here, that you have to take some time when buying one of these aatv's. If you are looking at Argo's, the...
I agree with you spits. I found it to be a matter of plan, measure, measure and measure first, then go ahead and work your plan. I too have to build a new hood for my 83. It has been mocked up and my...
Hey BW,
If Argo doesn't want the bearings and axles that you have designed, then I am sure there are hundreds of us owners who definetly are. I have seen your work and the BWII first hand, and...
Hey Whipper, way cool video. :adore: Those axles for the atv's, are they for your springer kits? The crankshft for the TF is that for someone local or do you do the cranks for the shops in...
