Hello 6x6 world. thanks for allowing me to join the group.I have an 88 magnum with the 18 kohler. It has charging problems. Is there a magneto or a stator.hoping it's not a big job to fix it.any suggestions greatly appreciated.

[Mike]

Hello hdgranpa, welcome to the forum. There is a regulator/rectifier that controls the current produced by the stator that is often the culprit of charging issues.

[hdgranpa]

Thanks Mike.I'm thinking i have to pull the engine for this or is the regulator outside the engine?

[Mike]

The regulator should be outside of the engine and easy(ish) to get to. Google the regulator and you should find several photos so you know what to look for.

Hello from London, Ontario!

Was cruising this forum and used up all the free peeks but I still don't know if I want a 6x6 or 8x8, but now I'll have to read through the forums. Trading in a virgin 2014 king quad 750 with brand new never mounted tracks to get a- what are these things? Aatv? One of them I think.

[Mike]

Hi Norbert77, welcome to the forum. Originally these were just called ATVs since they were truly all-terrain. After 3 wheelers and quads came around, we've used AATV to denote that it's amphibious. Either way is fine though. Good luck in your search for a 6x6 or 8x8.

new to the 6x6 wourld, just picked up a barn find Amphicat. Ruff shape but should keep the grand kids occupied as we go through it. Just some ?, first it has round rear vents can someone inform me as-to what year it may? Also has a simple small square aluminum gearbox, do not know if this is original, any help would be great. Thanks Gus

Hello olbeemer, welcome to the forum. For being new to posting on forums, you did just fine. If you need any specific information on your Play Cat, start a new thread in the "Other AATV" section of the forum and someone can help you there, just let everyone know what information you need. I hope you can get your PlayCat running again soon.


Hi Gus, welcome to 6x6 World. Try starting a thread in the "Other AATV" section of this forum with your Amphicat questions. Not everyone checks this introduction thread so you should get a better response there.

Hey everybody. New to the Argo land and loving it so far. Moved to Alaska in April. I now have two 8x8 older Argos in my garage as projects An early 70's tech engine and running
A 91 magnum getting close to having it going here soon.
Really in need of an exhaust system for the 91. I'm looking for a muffler and tailpipe if anybody has one I would love to get ahold of it.

Hey fishingraham, welcome to the forum. Have fun with your Argo projects and good luck during your first Alaska winter.

Hi, I'm totally new to this site and also totally new to owning a 70's Bazoo, I know nothing about these these machines and wondered if anyone could shed some light on them, their history and how many other Bazoos are out there.
It's running but needs new chains linked up to the front and some general sorting out..I'm in the south of England so if there's anyone out there with some knowledge please get in contact as I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers everyone .
