Do I NEED 8 wheels or 6?

[deereguy]

i test drove an argo conquest the other day. He was simply asking too much money for it. a 1994 (or 1995) with plastic tracks a heated cab and a complete set of spare wheels. He wouldn't budge from $6,500.00

Tomorrow i'm going to look at a different type of vehicle. It's similar to a cushman trackster.







I am hoping to pick it up for $2,500.00 if it's in decent shape. He's asking 3.5, but it's been for sale for some months.

here is a stock photo from google of the same machine in action.

Ah the old PPT. There are several members here with those. They are pretty neat, but they don't float.

I pulled the trigger on the ppt! I pick her up in the morning.

Price was $2,250. It has less than 400 hours on the meter.

Industrial Onan full pressure lube 4 stroke. The tracks look amazing, and all of the bearings/shafts have very little play in them.

It needs a littl restoration, but she runs great. The steering is not quite right but I think it's a quick fix.

Eventually I want to transform it into a mini snow cat. Like this:

This thing is amazing! I'll try to post photos and videos tomorrow. We took it through the swamp, over logs, and trees, through brush, mud, up crazy steep hills, ran over live scrub trees, and even climbed over a pile of logs. All without being able to steer to the right!

The brake caliper that controls the steering on right has a bracket that will require some welding.
