I wonder if something like slime tire sealant would help with the 'leak down' if a screw was a little too long?

I did a search for screw nailing the beads to the rims as they do on some race cars and didn't find any reference in this forum. Has anyone tried drilling the rims and putting screws into the bead...

I did it!!!...with the help of my teenager!

It would be nice if more people from Ontario would place a pin too. Thanks for reviving this tread!

Hi everyone.

I've been searching this web sight now for a couple of nights and can't find any reference to the depth of tread on a new at189 argo tire.

I've got a line on a set of used 25x12x9...

Thanks Mowbizz, I loosened them off a bit tonight and tightened everything up. Re-installed the brake calipers - not as bad as I anticipated it might be when I took them off. I'll keep an eye on...

Question: I've read many places about the 1/8" deflection on the idler chains but nothing is ever mentioned about how much force is used to get the deflection. I've now installed all new chains on...

White lithium grease - is that what's also recommended for the secondary clutch lub?

Thanks Snackmaster, I'll look for some chain lube with the wax base. Have you cleaned out the bottom with diesel fuel as a first rinse to get the really heavy stuff and used detergent or engine...

Well I like a productive evening! I decided to persevere and get the driven clutch off. I went and got some of the PB buster and put it on before supper and used some 'love taps' to remove it...

I've taken the beer brake and had a good nights sleep to boot! I'm not familiar with 'PB' - all I can think of is peanut butter (PB) and I'll bet it won't work :)
Thanks for the reply, I;ll give...

I've sucked the oil out of my big foot and went to change the filter and as the manual says remove the driven clutch for better access to filter and drain plug in 18 hp B&S.

The manual makes it...

Well I'm back 8 hrs later with a new to me 2001 bigfoot sitting in the lane way. Too late to get it off of the trailer and into the garage tonight. You can bet I'll be up with the sun tomorrow to...

I'll have to change my title to Getting serious about a 2001 bigfoot.

I let the vanguard 2 get away. Tomorrow I'm going to drive an hour and a half to look at a 2001 bigfoot with 500 hrs, plastic...

Thanks for the info on the Vanguard 2 extensions. It’s been 3 days since I looked at the V2 and I find myself still considering it even though some members thought it was too pricey. ...

Thanks Bigfootbob. Your experience with tracks on a big foot is good to know. If I end up finding a machine without extensions I would probably try adding them to the front axles only. I'm...

Thanks for the help. It sounds like the price is a bit high. It was really nice to see an older machine that hadn't been run into the ground and some recent maintenance items already done.

If...

Hi Delduck

It is definitely an Argo Vanguard 2. I'm thinking the extensions would be more important on the front corners but better on all 4 ideally. Thanks for the reply.
