  • 18" Tracks Problems...

    Hi, i would like to know how many section of 18" track i need to install on a 1985 Argo 6x6 Vanguard with 20-11-8 runhamuk tires???

    I just remove 13" track with 27 link+1 halft link and they almost rub the wheelhouse and needed 7-8 pd of air to keep the tire from spinning in the track... I install the 18" with 28 link +1 halft link and i got the same problem... With the Argo in the air tracks are looking loose (6 " travel from tire) Did I need to remove the six tire valves, suck the air out and put 27 link...??

    Here we got a lot of snow... 8-9 ft in the front of the house, 4-5 ft in the back and 3-4 ft in the trails... That's why i need 18"... I tried them tonight and it was a challenge.... Next time i"ll bring the head cam to show you....

    try taking out half link...28 is the correct number of links...but your supposed to use 22" runamuck tires i think!.....27 links might work with your 20" tires though....not sure??? heres a link with size chart....almost positive his links are same size (exept for width) .....he recomends 21"-22" tires on vangaurd....

        On my Conquest 8x8 I have to take all 8 valves out and take a C clamp and pull the track together. Hope this helps. Cougar
