Hi Jeff, welcome to the forum.

Hey all. Been dreaming of owning an argo for quite some time and finally got my opportunity. I traded one of my rifles for an older 8x8. Not sure of the year, late 70s ish maybe. It needs a little bit of work, some body issues that could use some plastic welding and the tires could use replacing, but it dives well and it's allot of fun.

It has a tecumseh motor, a snow king, so thats not ideal, but it's newer and it runs, so I'm good with that. I think next year I'm going to pull it in half and do some work. But until then, it's awesome.

I think this forum will be very helpful in my argo adventure

Hi Seth, welcome to the forum and congratulations on picking up an 8x8.

Hi Ken, welcome to the forum. There are several Aussies on the forum. There may even be someone semi-close to you. Be sure to post some photos of your build to the gallery when you start. We love looking at others' projects.

Another Aussie !

Hi All,
So I turns out I purchased an 8 wheeler 😃.

Try to refrain from throwing cabbage ( I'm probably going to be boo'd of stage here) but I bought a Bonai , one of the Chinese ones second hand and extremely cheap but still think I can have some fun with it 😁

[cunneenio]

I haven't found much on here about them but if anyone has any experiences about them I would love to hear about it, good or bad .
Also I'll let everyone how it goes , I have also been thinking about the idea of changing it to screw drive

[Mike]

cunneenio, welcome to the forum. We won't hold it against you that you bought a Chinese Argo knockoff. I don't believe anyone here has posted about theirs if they have one. Let us know how it holds up.

Frank, welcome to the forum. A Bigfoot is a great machine.

Hello my name is Josh and I'm new to the site. Just upgraded my garage with a Max IV so I figured it was time to meet up with like minded folks! Looking forward to being a member and reading some of the super useful tech stuff.

Hello Everyone, I am Michael. first off I want to say I love My Argo. I am a paraplegic and the Argo is the perfect off-road vehicle for me. it is all hand control operated and it is small enough that I can get all around the engine to work on it and be completely independent. I can hunt in it, I can fish in it, and I can get back to enjoying the outdoors. I am a certified welder and certified Mechanic. I live In Winchester Tennessee a beautiful part of the country with lots of trails to ride, and lakes to fish.

Finally started restoring my ATTEX 208TT. Fell in lust with it when my brother first bought it. He intended on restoring it himself but 25 years later it was still untouched. I finally convinced him to sell it to me for $75. Been gathering parts over past 7 years and have put aside my other hundred or so projects and started putting it together. Itchin to get it done! I will post pics soon.
