Yes, I know my shop AND my Argo are a mess right now
I found it suprisingly difficult to make this vid, but I think it turned out OK. I think I covered most of it, but did miss tightening the inner brng setscrews.

Argo Bearing and Seal Replacement Video
I pulled my tracks off the other day, and found that I had 6 loose outer axle bearings. A couple of them were not too bad, and all of them would have been fine for a while. However, I had the parts and (I thought) a bit of time, before I was supposed to go for a ride with friends, so I replaced them. I ended up in a bit of a hurry. You won't find any white shop coats and clean hands in this vid, but if you want to see how to change a brng and seals on an Argo, you can check it out.

For anyone new to six wheelers, this is a short video showing you how to adjust the chains in a Max II. There are eight chains that need to be adjusted.

The ones in the front are adjusted by pushing the adjusters down. The ones in the rear are adjusted by pulling the adjusters up.

Do you have a grooved axle and a shallow wallet? Well, here's the ticket for solving the problem without burning up the Visa card.
Repairing a grooved axle on the cheap: 1. Remove the axle. 2. Clamp it firmly in a smooth-jawed vice, with the groove about 6" from the jaws of the vice. 3. Using a wire brush in a 4" grinder, clean all the area in and around the groove, making it free of rust and gunk. Use a flat file gently on any high spots. 4. Use paper towels and wipe down the...09-15-2010, 09:07 PM -
Well, I finally got this little project started
. I think everything is going to work out good, but there is still some testing to do. I ran into a couple little issues, but nothing that can't be dealt with.
Sorry about the length of the vids, it was hard to keep the time down on a project like this. I have only uploaded the first part so far, but PT-2 will be edited into this post tomorrow if possible.
I have to say here that I'm NOT SURE if this will work with ALL Conquests. I have noted that some ...

i've needed to redo the seats in my wild wolf for as long as i've had it. the seat back was the original and shot, and the bottom was something i had quickly thrown together. last week after months of my son begging me to take him for a ride in my old bronco, i finally got the back seat down from the rafters of my shop and bolted it in. later that night it dawned on me that it would make a pretty good seat for the Wolf. i checked with the place i'd gotten my seat covers form when i built the bronco...04-13-2010, 09:57 PM

General - Purchasing your first six wheeler can be exciting and it is something that many of us remember well; Seeing it for the first time, the test drive, towing it home, taking it for a spin around the yard and realizing how quickly you can tear up the grass. But it can also be an intimidating process especially if you are not purchasing new. For some, a new six wheeler is simply out of the question. Whether it is financial concerns or simply that the six wheeler you are looking for is no...02-28-2010, 01:23 PM
