This guy is in Ontario and has a set of 13" and 18" tracks, asking best offer. Shipping VIA Manatoulin transport would be around $100 to you.

thanks but i dont use the argo in the winter so i think i will pass.

[curtisbyrne]

got two chains on. just ordered two flanges and a winch hoop along with new brake pads,they dont make the winch plate anymore so has anyone fabbed their own or any ideas on how to make one? also the picture you see below of the bearing extension bolt holes,they dont line up with the frame and i cant thread them through what can i do to fix this?

For the bolt holes, it looks like you need to raise the frame from inside the tub so that they will line up. For the winch plate, search the site. I think there are a couple of threads with photos. I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to older Argos so I don't know all of the differences but here's a thread with a picture from ArgoJim: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/argo-...tml#post197612

Mike the one shown is for a Tecumseh body, the Magnum should be close to the Conquest as the front slope is similarly shaped.

Does the Conquest winch mount use a hoop tied to the frame as well or just a backing plate behind the winch?

[ARGOJIM]

All Argo winch mounts are tied to the frame with the factory kits, at least beginning with the poly bodies.

Here is a picture of a home built one I removed from Phil, guess it would work.

[curtisbyrne]
