    Newbie with an 8x8 broken rotor

    Hello Argo enthusiasts,

    I just signed-on to 6x6 world.

    I've been doing a rebuild of an Argo 8x8 that came without papers, but I think it's about a 1997. It had been full of water, so I spent many nights freeing the chains, which are are fine now. I finally got the Kohler 18 running this month.

    The last of my problems are very seized brakes, which need rebuilding. I have them off the rotors and the drive train spins well.

    Also, one rotor is missing about a half inch off the edge, so I probably need to find a replacement, although it does pass through the brake calipers.

    My questions:
    1. Can a bad mechanic like me remove the clutch and broken rotor without too much dissambly? I am sooo tired of feeling like a diving duck , working upside-down through that small engine hood opening when I replaced a wheel bearing.

    2. Does someone know a source for the rotor?

    3. Can I find replacement seal kit for the brakes? I local motorcycle shop mechanic said he might do the rebuilding work.

    Anyhow, I would be glad to hear from anyone.
    thanks,
    Frank

    The Argo dealer will have the brake rebuild kit and post up your serial number maybe someone can tell you the year.. I have a 88 8x8 and it also has the 18 kohler so don't think its a 97.
