Welcome benny, lee55, wayne5, 55fishes, and 82shortbox. For those of you looking for parts or advice, repost your request under the type specific section of the forum to get better responses.

Lee55, when you jumped the starter, did you connect the booster cable to the positive post on the starter side of the solenoid, or the battery side of the solenoid?

Hello everyone.
I live in the northern part of Utah, I have a 1970 Muscateer with the big black box. I’ve had this machine for 17 years and am just now trying to get it water and trail ready. Was wondering if anybody has a breakdown on the transmission, basically on the inners of this trans.
I also have a MX 1 Chaparral that we recovered out of a field. This machine has been hammered so haven’t decided on what I’m going to do with it. The main reason for getting this one was for the trans, and putting it in the Muscateer but I don’t want to lose the use of the prop.
Thanks and have a great day!

Hi everyone

Hey guys. First post here. Been reading the forum since I decided to buy an argo.
I just picked it up the other day and I noticed after parking it today the tire is lopsided. I haven’t jacked it up yet to see if its a bent axle or something else. If it is a bent axle can I still use it like that? Or will it make things worse?
The argo is almost brand new. It was a demo. I had my kids with me so im pretty sure I didnt bend it. The dealer is almost 7 hours away so very inconvenient to bring it back.

I'm getting close to finishing a restoration on a 1969 attex. I'm down to mostly cosmetic stuff, rebuilt the transmission, replaced all the chains and bearings, cleaned and painted everything. It came with a seized engine and a "rebuilt 25 years ago" engine. Sadly the piston on that one grenaded.



The parts jug is ok but I need an overbore piston that I just can't find. I had a honda GX390 off a genset sitting around my shop. I turned the shaft to fit the original 30mm clutch, resprung it, shimmed the driven on the baker hill 5000 and it works great with whatever random 1-1/8" belt I had sitting around.



Here's the machine, it's spent some years sitting outside and now has a lot of greasy pawprints on it. Not entirely sure what to do about cosmetics, but it's a fun ride.


Anyone else in Maine? I haven't taken it on trails yet (because I still need to register it as an ATV and a boat...), but I'd like to go out with someone who knows the ropes. It's probably a bad idea to go out alone my first time AND the machine's first time in 25 or 30 years.
