Removing Conquest Power Pack

[Ford]

I am restoring my Conquest. Would like to remove the power pack. Could someone be kind enough to give me some pointers? Thanks.

Remove the 3 bolts through powerpack frame, disc. battery cables, disc. exhaust, remove brake calipers and master cyl mount with sticks and cyl.s attached, disc. throttle and choke cable, unplug wire harness, remove dash support over trans, remove shifter handle, remove trans chains, disc. brake fan hose. Unless I'm forgetting something it should come out the hood opening as a unit.

Thanks, ArgoJim. I'm not in front of the machine now. Where are the 3 bolts on the power pack from located? I believe I've read that there are 2 in the rear near the transmission and one in the front.

Right you are, they all have 15/16 heads so should be easy to find.

I just unbolted my tran. and pulled it out through the dash. just made it eazer to get at all the other odds and ends. Then the motor and mount came out through the top.

Navigate to 6x6world home page. Near the top on the left you will find a list: brochures, ... Manuals, ...
Click Manuals and then click Argo. This will get you to a page with the service manual broke out. <click here and I will take you to the service manual broke out>
The instructions you are looking for are in the Engine section.

thanks for all the info. Being new to the site, I didn't realize that the manuals were online. Very helpful.

Ford, did you get the power-pac frame out OK, Please make sure to measure the distance between the center shaft engine to center shaft transmission, should be 15.35 inch. I am speaking from EXPERIENCE on this. If the power-pac frame is bent, this is where you would see this dimension smaller. Causing the belt to be slack & the clutches not functioning as designed. My machine would not climb hills like the other 3 machines I run with. Frustrating to say the least. I replaced both clutches, the belt twice, changed springs in the clutches, drive & driven, to sum it up, a lot of time & energy. I got this 15.35 inch measurement from an Argo dealer, mine was 15.00 inch even, bought a new power pac frame & swapped it out & wow am I happy happy with the way my machine performs now!
The power pac does not need to be out of the machine to measure, just thought I would give you something to look at while you had it out.
Good luck!

Thanks, that's good advice. I haven't been able to work on it recently. Hope to get back to it early next week. Appreciate your help!
