Once in a lifetime barn find!!

some people just got all da' luck

that would be great, are you sure that you don't have the spacers in between the wheels and axles, i know that if i get super tracks for either of these argos i also have to get the spacers in order to put super tracks on. standard tracks do not require the spacers. that is what i was told from the argo dealers that i talked to about tracks.

hello eightwheeler.

i have the serial number from dads, HTB6821. just wondering how close they might be2009_0222_124204AA.jpg

2009_0222_121801AA.jpgi added this pics for you to look at, i think that both (your barn find and my dads) are the same model, let me know what you think.i don not have the engine hood on in these but it also looks the same as yours does.

Thanks Fella's, yes its the original color's, i have only seen one other of that color on the internet, and the crazy thing is it has room between the tracks and tub, usually these older machines dont have that much gap, i wonder if this was some sort of special model or something??

hello eightwheeler

i see you found a nice machine and accessories, i am a bit jealous though. it appears to be the same as the one that i am rebuilding for my dad. i wonder how close they might be by ser#. i will dig up dads tommorrow and post it here. i have posted a couple of pics of dads in the gallery. not 100% sure as to attaching them here. anyways nice find there.

Is that the original colour? I've never seen an Argo that colour.

eightwheeler ,


The Argo 8x8 that you recently bought was an incredible find! This is the kind of story that you hear about some times ,but sounds just too good to be true.

[mike bar]

good for you eightwheeler.I'd like to see the grin on your face when first saw it.

PICS ARE UP FELLA'S, had it out today, didnt check over anything, just put a new battery in and ran it all day, had a blast

[atvrider93]

i had to buy a new engine, make mounts, an buy a sprocket for mine when i thought it just needed a battery

[Rock Doctor]

That sounds like a real find, Congrats.

Waiting for pics.

re:8x8 find

NICE!!!!!! Oh did I mention I don't know you but still hate you.LOL I would be like the other guy and have to pay the big bucks.There are some good deals out there,just have to find them. I thought I was getting a decent deal on my6x6......$700.00 in parts later.... it will be a good machine but wasn't expecting what I got.

[eightwheeler]

Thanks fella's, yeah i still cant believe it either, i'm taking it out today for a nice run, still has the super tracks on it though and no snow so i guess ill see how it does in the mud
