Wow, she sounds like she has had a rough life, but it appears she has a good home now. Lots a TLC and copious amounts of cash with a little fun and some friends thrown in the mix... good for many years of enjoyment! Good luck and thanks for keeping us posted... RR

cool!i gots a hand grinder but no belt sander.will try grinder out on the spare.might also be able to trim it with a knife???????

I actually did that to one of mine, just a bit, while I was trying to solve the puzzle of "which one would fit where". I figured it out before I took that idea too far.
Now that I have some wear on them, it's not nearly as bad to juggle them on.

weird thing is its not all beat up and only has 368 hours on it.i think it did a lot of sitting with crappy gas and infrequent oil changes.engine should cost under 600 bux to rebuild,other parts and peices are slowly coming together.big contributor of parts was NCT.helped me out huge.

I'll bet it overheated, with so few hours and that kind of damage. Should not have hurt anything else though... Looks nice and clean inside, good pic.

anyone here try running different size tires on their argo?talked to a fellow that runs 22"-24"-22"-24" starting from the front.might be a solution to my tight tire situation.

[North Country Tough]

Dont suppose it would make a tinker D**** difference in the mud or soft ground,hard pack it would be a little tough on the smaller tires as they would be trying to play catch up,as far as drive train wind up it would be negligible at best since the tires that are trying to go faster have less ground force and would just kinda skip when they got a chance,hey Plott why don't you M/T out the ole lady's freezer toss out that turkey and left over Yule log fill it up with tires and shrink em down,works on certain parts of the anatomy might be worth a shot.ROALMAO NCT

[plott hound]

ha ha,the ole shrinkage trick eh.can run them big tires with dry ice backs on them.
