[plott hound]

thanks NCT,my capabilities are far from that of RD.yes the new owner got a sweet deal,i just hope he enjoys it as much as i did.

I know the feeling when you sell something you put so much time and money into.
Im sure the new owner will get many years of enjoyment from that machine with all the upgrades you did.
Did you sell the tracks with it?
I hope the new owner becomes a member of 6x6 world so we can see it in action.
I love the older style argos but they are very hard to find in Ontario especially in that good condition.

[plott hound]

yupper it was like my baby.and yes the tracks,top and windshield all went with it.got a few more parts here for it that i have to round up,then in the mail they go.

[eightwheeler]

well Plott someone got a smoking deal, if we could only pay ourselves for the ammount of time we put into fixing up our old machines i bet we would both be millionare's lol im sure the new owner will enjoy it as much as you have!!!

Yes, plott i know the feeling, when the 06 went down the road it was very hard to watch. When you have a tried and true machine it is hard to part with. Hope the new guy realizes all the upgrades that are in that machine. It has a completely redone bottom with splined axles and that is a major plus. Hope a member bought it or a soon to be member. We would like to hear of it's new adventures and maybe a video. Hope your new machine works out well my friend.
