I installed an electric auto fuel pump in my Argo. I have it wired to the ignition and a switch. I love it. I only use it for start up and when going up steep hills. McCoy did the same thing on this Argo Bigfoot.

Getting started

Hi, Riverfox here. Iv'e always wanted an AATV ever since I saw one in a Popular Science magazine fourty years ago.(WOW). Finaly bought a 1990 Argo for the purpose of restoration. I'm thinking it would make a pretty good paintball tank. Anyway, I'm realy glad to see such a strong showing of people who love AATV's. It's gonna be a fun ride. I'll be bringing in some pics when I get the chance. Let the fun begin.... Riverfox.

Welcome to you new guys! Cody, if you will use the search function on the site and search for max vs argo you should find some threads that already cover the same question you are asking. It boils down to personal preference and the best way to figure it out for yourself is to drive each of them and see which one you like better.

Big hello from Canada eh!!!

hello, I have just purchased an older anphibious machine. I have never drove one until i got this one and i love it.I am from Ontario and have been driving other types of ATV's before but nothing that floats and can drive across swamps. My AATV is an 197? skipper. It's not in the best of shape but the 2 stroke 340 give me a thrill everytime i start it and drive it. I don't know a whole lot about these machines and i find it hard to find info. about them, so if anyone owns one or has innfo. on them i would love to here from you.

This site is fantastic. I am a first time owner of a 6x6 (Max IV )and have been finding a wealth of information regarding getting it back in good running condition.

I have had a lot of questions but have been able to find answers to most by going through the different forums about the areas in question.

Read about you guys talking about red and green springs on a clutch. Mine has a blue spring. Any thoughts.

My hats off to you Mike as administrator.

onlyonce ,

Welcome to the fastest growing amphib forum on the web. The Max IV you just bought is a great first choice for an amphib. It was also the very first amphib for me too. Its been a great machine since the day I bought it new.

Hi mike, congrat on your new Argo, i got some fuel problem also with my 18hp brigg.. I tried a small electric pump but it went of in the trail so i went back to a vacum pump sold by B&S(minkutzi or something like that!!!! ), original to my engine. Was my problem and now my machine work a lot better. if you need a number for the pump let me know... Do you speak french in NB...

Martin

Hi Martin. My argo has a 18hp kohler with a mechanical fuel pump which has about 100hrs on it. There is nothing major wrong with machine just some neglect.Got some super tracks and wheel extenders with it.I can,t wait to get this thing up and running. Trying to get used to computer. I do not type much,very slow.

P.S. Can't speak french,sorry.

New Argo Owner

I recently bought a 1988 6x6. I had an ignition problem and replaced the coil. Running fine now. I'm enjoying your website.

Hustler Newbie

What a great site you guys have here! I can't believe I didn't find it earlier. I've had my Hustler 6x6 for about four years now. I really don't know much about the machine that I have and that has helped to lead me here. I bought it barely running and managed to tune it up fairly well. I've had the trans apart one time because of shifting issues and it has always and still does need new tires. I'm really curious what year and model it is. It has a Briggs twin 18hp, I believe T-20 trans, 26x12x12 Goodyear Terra Tires, greenish brown body. Thanks for such a great site!

I been visiting the site for some time and realy like what is out here. I'm a Vocational Teacher for a heavy equipment program in N.Y. and I like to toy with a bunch of diffrent motor sports equipment. About a year ago I purchased my first MAX II and what a blast we have with it.

All my friends always ask me if I could find them one. the more I play with it the biger my interest in them gets. I look foward to speeking to others about these neat machines and would like to go to some 6X6 events.

Moose1963, You are so lucky to live and work in NY, It is the home of the Ribit Riders and they have many rides. I am many miles away in Eastern Ontario but I drive to enjoy their company as often as I can. You could contact President Jeff Mott at 716 693 1409 if you want to join a ride. Happy riding.
