Hi All,

Figured I would finally introduce myself since I've been a member on here for over a year now. I purchased a used 1999 8x8 response with 90 hours on it Jan of 2012 pretty much strictly for ice fishing. It's been working out great so far after I figured out the little throttle linkage issue but no problems otherwise. Planning on building a top for it this summer and also a set of new tracks made from snowmobile tracks over the summer. Also planning on ordering a set of track turners as soon as the ice is off the lakes and the summer maintenance is done just to make sure I don't need any other parts.

Just like to say thanks to everyone on this forum pretty much everything is covered which is why I never posted anything until now.

Thanks

Matt

Just found this and thinking about purchasing a used argo. Looks like alot of fun. Found an 80 model 8x8, looks to be in good condition and runs well, no leaks or cracks, good tires. He is asking $3000, is that a good price. Any advice, knowlegde or any other hints to look at when i see the unit are much appreciated
Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum. Try starting a thread in the ebay, craigslist and more forum for questions on an ATV that you are looking at. Photos will help out a lot. Good luck with your purchase.

Get the 23HP Briggs Vanguard with a 1" keyed shaft and it'll bolt right in and give you LOTS of power. Sell the 14HP Vanguard to help offset the cost of the 23HP engine and you're set. Here's a link:

I just signed up today and love my old Argos I had a 1980 25 years ago and now have a 2001 and 2004 bigfoots I live in the bush off the grid in the Northwest Territorries and have tons of junk around gocarts,dirtbikes ,snowmobiles and an old harley.I like the argos the best.I live on prelude lake and am mostly alone so the message board will be cool .I love the vintage pics as well,good job on the restos.What the hell can I do to make that 2001 argo tranny stop whinning? thanks all.Rob

[Mike]

Hi Rob, welcome to the forums. It's good to have you here. For the Argo transmission whining, that seems to be a common issue with some of the lower geared transmissions. There's really not a whole lot that you can do for it.

i am a proud owner of a maxx IV. i have wanted a 6X6 for about 30 years and i got it. there is only one thing that is bad about finally getting one and he is two and wakes me at 630 and says "papa ride new toy" and i reply where is your helmet then he smiles lifts it up looks me in my half closed eyes and says i am ready, so he pulls me out of bed brings me my boots then says lets go. and i have to explain i need a uniform on before we can go he nods his head and says nope you got pajamas on LETS GO!!! so with that being said i guess i was wrong there aint no bad things bad about our 6X6.

i am wanting to find a group to go play with or maybe a club in the Oklahoma city area.

thanks Harvey

[Mike]

Hi Harvey, welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have a good riding buddy. Have fun with your Max IV.
