This machine blows me away with the pulling power it has....



This is over 2000lbs of flooring that we pulled across a lake for five miles covered in 12 inches of slush......simply amazing!!!!

Thanks for the response XVR. I will look into some automotive paint polish next time I get to town.

Last week I broke an axle flange on the old Argo. The early style stamped steel flange is not up to the task.



I ordered all the parts to convert to the HD setup like on the new machines ( only on the front and rear ) The HD axles are a much hevier design with a 1/2 inch thick flange .....way stronger. I also converted to the HD bearing upgrade. Everyone has been telling me to use track tuners....so I will give them a try.

The HD upgrade was a very straight forward install. The only thing I changed was to install 90 deg. grease nipples to make greasing easier with tracks on.



The Adair track tuners are 2 3/4" and the Bolduc axle spacers are 2 1/2" ..... so adair supplied me with 1/4" spacers....great guys to deal with.

looks great XVR! Nice touch on the 90 degree zerks. So simple yet worth a million bucks. Especially if you don't have newer holes in your spacers and hub flanges, wheels.

I had some Dynamat left over so I put some behind the engine cover in hopes of making the ride a little quiter.



It made a big difference....much better than expected

I am doing a similar rebuild on a 1990 magnum. allot of work but worth the time

Going to give the old girl a yearly face lift.....first on the list is a new top from Argo

[XVR]

Also on the list is to upgrade the sound system.... adding two speakers, a powered subwofer and a 300 watt amp should get her rockin. Also want to spend some time to lower engine and transmision noise..... I have a few ideas.
