  • Hello Just joined group. In the process of looking at an Argo to purchase. Other than motor, appearances, would anyone be able to tell me the differences between a Magnum or Conquest, ie axle and bearing durability. My price range keeps me between these models. I know the hp difference, trouble finding if there is a difference on chains, bearings, axles. There is a local magnum, traveling a bit for the conquest. All in very nice shape. Look well taken care of. Thank you for any info. Looking forward to getting into these machines. I’m pretty sick of side by side and quad issues.

    • Welcome Nessy. Sorry for the delayed responses, traffic is a little low lately. If you look under the how to section and go to general, there is a buyers guide that may be helpful with pointers on what to look for. In my opinion the one in the best condition with the lowest hours would be the best choice.
      What it lacks in ground clearance it makes up for with traction.

      • Hi Everybody, My name is Brad and live in Tulsa, OK. I'm 55yrs. old and on disability as of a couple months ago. With the thought of I can fix anything and always wanting a 6x6 bought a Scrambler with a few issues (steering, brakes, wouldn't start...) a couple years ago. Found this forum and the manual I needed. The steering and brakes work off hydraulics and needed to reverse bleed. So I bought a large grease gun took out the insides sealed that end and filled with power steering fluid. Found the farthest grease zerk and pumped it in. By damned it worked but all grease zerks leaked afterwards and wouldn' hold. So when I got done filling one I removed zerk and plugged. One by one got done all plugged and now all holding. Works well now!! A couple weeks I found an Attex 400 Chief no spark and picked it up for 500.00. I thought it was a steal. Should be going in a couple of weeks. Lets all PRAY!! I try to research as much as I can because I've noticed in forums people don't like questions asked more than once. Please try to tolerate if I do post a question. I'm just old. Thank you Brad

Hoping to get any opinions. Not sure how to post any pictures
