Hi! Just found this site by accident but was surprised that there are other Ranger V 's out there. I still have the Ranger V that my dad bought in the early 1960's. Yes, it still runs and I use it to set ups the tobaggon run for the grand kids.

New to owning an argo 8x8, just bought an old model for a project rebuild with a tecumseh ohv 160. Wondering if any one could help with the year. Model HTB3375. Also looking to increase the horsepower on a engine swap possibly to a 23-25hp. Are the briggs or kohler motors an easy swap? Thanks for the help.

I love mud. I built jeeps for 20 years , then got too expensive. Moved on to 4wheelers. Now I bought an aatv. It's pretty cool

Hello I'm, muddy from south carolina. I recently bought a perfectly rebuilt 6x6 and looking to sell.

If anyone interested in buying contact me for pics. Like new 6x6. Upgraded motor to 18hp double overhead cam. New everything, and extras.

Good morning all. I've been lurking around here for a while and always had a facination with Argos yet never owned one. I've had numerous atvs over the last 40+ years but never an Argo. Until now. This is what I just brought home. I have a feeling it is just a stepping stone and it's only a matter of time before I move into another one. For now I'm stoked to begin using it and seeing what these things can do.
Thx.

Hello 6x6 World, I’m here to introduce myself my name is Cody and I live in Alaska where I was born and raised. My dad had a BigMax 2 440 jlo as a kid and I loved that thing. It was such a blast to take out fishing or hunting or just to play on the beach or anywhere. We got a Coot later, and while it has its good points, really is a piece of junk compared to a Max for having fun / reliability. I was disappointed when he sold the Max and had looked for another one for many years until I found one close, a mid 70’s 340 JLO. The motor was tired from being a pipeline survey rig (running 40-50 miles a day, for 3 decades!) I was running my own OHV repair shop at the time so took it apart for a full rebuild and health issues and marriage issues got in the way of completion. I am back in the game and hope I can provide some value to the community here. I’ll get some pics up here soon.

Hi my names jeremy.just bought a Max iv. I absolutely love it.but unforchantly my transmission is stuck in reverse and I'm trying to figure out exactly what year it is.dude that sold it thought possibly a 93 but it was given to him so he wasn't sure.insight on common transmission issues with the max iv models?I think it might be a shifter fork broken.also insight on locating the serial nber would be helpful.thanks. also insight on transmission parts/ new transmissions if they even are on the market?I new to the amphibious world so I can use all the help I can get.thanks.

Welcome to the site. You can find the serial number by the key. Look under the Max category first thread “ sound off “ you can compare your serial there and get the year. The t 20 trans is very common in the amphib world. Check the easy stuff first. Linkage, movement, and connections. Remember it’s a little temperamental to shift. Rocking the machine slightly and pulling back a little on the sticks helps shifting.
