New members, introduce yourself here

[hiltoab]

Hi I just moved to southern New Hampshire on a few acres with a pond from the suburbs of Central Texas. My search for an inexpensive beater style ATV for myself and my kids lead me to a 1990s?? MaxII on Craigslist. I know basically nothing about 6x6 / skid steer vehicles, so thanks for allowing me into this amazing resource. I've already used it to clean my carburetor that was causing my beast to die under throttle.

Hello every one I've been on here for a couple of weeks and found this thread and thought I would introduce myself. I live in Alaska and am looking into making my first amphibious purchase. i currently am torn between a mudd ox and and argo auora 950 or conquest 950. i love the idea of how these machines work how reliable they are and where they will go. For the last several years i have been taking my Polaris 1000 high lifter 25-30 miles into the bush fighting it the whole time while i smile and wave at the gents driving argos as I swear one day I will have one! I have another thread on here about comparing the aurora mudd ox vengeance 40 and the argo conquest 950. Once i make the swap this will almost be a daily driver for me as i use my ATV/AATV constantly. Glad to be here and am looking forward to talking to you.

Hello All,

Newbie here from Ontario Canada

Somehow I have got it in my head to purchase a used Argo, preferably with tracks. I only go to my cottage 5 or 6 times during the winter so don't think a snowmobile would be worth it. Also I am not interested in paying trail fees, insurance etc. for something I would only use occasionally in the winter. However I do use the cottage a lot in the summer so an Argo might make sense as an a year round toy.
What should I look for when purchasing? Any tips appreciated. What is the better engine for reliability / power? What years should I avoid?

I used to live in Kitchener (about 1/2 hr from New Hamburg where Argo produced at ODG) but now live in Napanee with a cottag in Haliburton

Hello everyone. I just purchased a 1978 prairie bob cat. I have lots of questions about how to get power to the wheels. It moves forward and kinda backward but extremely hard or near impossible to turn a slow speeds.

New Argo owner from Michigan

Greetings from Michigan!

This summer I acquired a 2007 Argo Avenger from my father that's in need of much TLC. I recently found this forum and have been lurking / reading various topics. I'm looking forward to being part of the community, it seems like there are some great people here with a lot of knowledge.

Hello 6x6 members! I drove an argo many moons ago (like 5-8 years ago). I had a blast and always mentioned that i wanted one. Anyways, auction popped up near me in WI and i bought it. I might have even bid against a few of you. I believe i bought an ATTEX 440 thunderchief. Its missing the engine but i plan on getting this to running driving condition.

Edit... found the vin.

Hi 6x6 World members. New guy here in Western NC (Waynesville)just getting started. A great friend of mine put in my posession a Max IV that is awesome and in great shape. Only thing needing attention is shift linkage. It will rarely go in reverse. I look forward to getting in touch with the group for a little help and thanks in advance everyone.

Hi to all

Hi evveryone I'm not a new member but hoping to learn about 6 wheel atv.

[Outdoor Okie]

Hello everyone new to this thread I bought an old Hustler with a lot of work needed done to it but I'm willing to take on the challenge.
It was missing the motor and mounting plate for the motor and wondering what would be the best thing to.
I have a 22 horsepower Predator engine to mount to it, but I'm not really sure what I should get or if the original mounting plate will work for this engine. I also we'll need the primary clutch for the engine and wondering what I should use exactly on that
Thank you in advance for any help that may be given

Thank you for accepting me as a member to your 6x6World.com forum. I have enjoyed amphibious scramblers since i was young but could never afford one. Now i am old and and with help from all of you may be able to buy one.

Request for help.
I posted a request for help last week, and I want to thank Dave for coming down from New York and spending a few hours
educating me and getting my Max IV running and steering. He is truly a professional at master at these 6 wheelers.
Thanks again Dave and John for seeing my post. I took the Max IV out in the woods that same day with my daughter for the first time in 2 years. What a blast !
Thanks again !

Greetings all,
I’m new to the forum, have a MAX Buffalo truck. I’ll be reading and researching for a while before posting again. I’d like to add a roll bar, tread/tracks, and possibly a small winch. I’m also going to be adding a dump trailer of sorts. I’m open to any and all suggestions and opinions. Thanks for letting me join. Don

Hello everyone. I’m Chris. I currently live in Kansas but am looking to move to Alaska in the next several years. I got an Argo Avenger a year ago. I wanted the water cooled engine while it was still available. Since then, I’ve been digging into it as I figure out which features I want it to have. I’m just finishing my install of an Oiler, brake fan kit, and alternator now. These are sure different from anything I’ve worked on before but I must admit, I’m thoroughly enjoying the process.
