New here but I have been reading the forum. Hope everyone is doing well.
I'm looking at a 2008 Argo Frontier 650 6x6. It has the 23 hp. Briggs. I ran it around tonight and seemed to run decent. When I turned the throttle it did have a slight hesitation and picked up. I was told they put a new carb on it and they paid $300 to $400 for the new carb and they had to get it at Argo to get the right carb because they couldn't find it anywhere else. It had been sitting a while before they got it running again. Also when turning to the right slightly it turned good but when turning to the left it took a little more turning the handle bars to the left side than the right turn took. Handle bar sitting turned to the left slightly when driving it. I'm thinking a slight cable adjustment for the left brake. Chains and sprockets looked good. Original Argo tires but a couple of them had cuts or cracks in them about 3 inches long. Rims had a few dings. Over all looks to be in good shape. Also I looked to see if there was a 3.3 stamped by the dip stick on the tranny and didn't see one. So standard high/low tranny.
Questions:
What is everyone's thoughts on these hours?
How thick is the side wall of the Argo tires? Maybe put tubes in them?
What else should I be looking at before I consider buying it?
What is a good price?
Thanks for the help.
