New members, introduce yourself here

[mudcat]

Hey everyone I'm new to the forum and have a 96 vanguard for about 4 yrs. I've been going it solo mechanically and have made many repairs/discoveries over the yrs. I live in Ont. Canada and put er to good use in my play ground in Haliburton when ever possible. However I've been grounded recently by clutch problems. Maybe someone can help. I blew out my secondary clutch on an excursion in the fall. It's a 9 7/8" IBC 1" bore with a 1/4" key way which I'm informed isn't available any longer. I wan't to rebuild but need a spring (blue) and cam slider shoes and or a bushing. Does anyone know a cross ref.# or sled model I can use for rebuild kit that might fit. The source of the failure appeared to be a worn Spirol pin that holds the bushing in the secondary.

Hell from Idaho,New to this argo stuff,I bought a 1993 argo vanguard 6x6 to go looking for shed antlers in the back county.The machine was running good and it seems to have a sticky valve any ideas how to free it up?: Thanks for any help Karl

Try the fuel additive in your fuel if you are not using it now. This is cheap and may solve you problem. Run a tank of two. I keep it in all my machines.

Welcome aboard all new members. You have picked the right place to talk AATV. These guys and girls are great here.

As you have noticed site member have just came back from Ashtabula Ohio. Lot of chatter on site about it. It was great to meet members that we ride with on a regular basis and to meet new member. It was great to put a face and personalty to a site name. This is a fantastic group of people and this ride showed how this group works together.

just saying hello to every one

Hi I live in Australia, have had dirt bikes and buggies but I have always wanted a 6x6 ATV for hunting pig so I'm looking for a set of good plans so I can build my own if any one knows of a good website can you please let me no thanks Derman

[trebmaster]

DERMAN,
It looks like you found the largest website with the most info on AATV'S.
the hardest part for you will be a body if you intend to float it. most parts(bearings seals chains ect) are avalible at a hardware store. keep us informed and post pics of your progress

[brushcutter]

Welcome to the forums Derman. Don't know of a site that would have plans, personally, but seems like member Mudbug3+ had come across some a while back that used plywood for the body. You might send him a pm and get him to find his post on this. Other than that there is a wealth of information right here on this site and we are always willing to help answer any questions regarding these things. Some of the members on this site have already built their own. A lot of us have done at least 1 total restoration, which is kinda like building our own. Again welcome to the largest AND fastest growing Amphibious site on the web, and good luck on your build. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi Derman, Welcome to the site. I think there's an outfit in Australia called Edge Products or something like that. They market plans for a 6x6. Good Luck Mike D
