Hello, my name is Tabitha. Joined this group because my bf bought a 1980 hustler tricart and we are clueless. Thought maybe this could give us some guidance.

where are you located??

Hello guys, I just got my first Argo Frontier, and I have been having a blast.. I am an avid duck hunter, and my property is swampy old creek bottoms. Not really deep enough to boat, to much for a ATV. The Argo gets me there, before that I have driven a 6x6 Polaris ranger, but was limited to were I could go. I have been longing for a set of tracks, and hoping the good people here could guide me along. This forum has been great for good information, glad to be part of it.

I'm thinking they're pretty close if you remove the gas tanks

Hey y'all. Thanks for letting me join. I just yesterday picked up a used 1995 Max 2. Going to be going through it with a fine tooth comb to get it mechanically sound, thankfully I love tinkering. This is my first AATV and I'm looking forward to getting to know everything about it. It'll mainly be used to do farm chores and get to the back of our property that is a bit swampy, and of course to let the kids have some fun. I'm mostly a lurker that reads a ton and appreciate the awesome amount of information that I've already found here. We are located in central NC, south of Raleigh. Thanks again!

whats up guys and gals. kinda new to the 6x6 world. I recently purchased a hustler 945 hk literally in pieces so I'm starting the rebuild process.. I was told the right side of the t-20 wasn't pulling as strong as the left so any tips or links to parts and rebuilding would be greatly appreciated

[CreekMud]

Thanks for the reply! That looks to be a pretty good deal. I am in western Kentucky, and deal with a swampy mud and muck that’s sometimes submerged under 6 to 12 inches of water; small creek channels and beaver runs, that requires a bit of swim ability. After a little research, I am siding towards Adar mud pros at the moment, unless someone could talk me out of it.

Hello everyone! LA here from central AR (Arkansas not Arizona). I have a 98 Bigfoot that i purchased the beginning of last year. Love the machine but have had to put a new motor in it. Only had 285 hours on it but had very little compression and wouldn't idle for anything. Since the new motor is in the only problem i have is a little leaking. Most of the use for my machine is duck hunting and accessing places on the property i have permission for that i cant walk too. I do not know whether its the tub of axles. Any info on how to diagnose and fix this would be appreciated. Love this group and amphibs.

Plain and dirty , easiest thing is pull out firewall and floorboards and float it in shallow water, he sure the plugs are in. The water pressure is the surest way to determine a small leak. At 285 hours I'd bet axle seals.

Thank you gentlemen!

I have an Argo vanguard 2 6x6 and restored everything but never touched the bearings. I just picked up a 1991 max II and have the motor out and bearings. I just ordered bearings and soon I’m going to get to trans rebuild.
