So I have been working on a 1980(s) Argo T (Tecumseh 16hp) I haven't done anything to the transmission but I have worked on the engine and wheels.
I've driven it in the woods on dry ground for 4-5 hours beating it a little and it preformed well. Today I wanted to go spin the snow, so I fired it up in the garage and made it until the end of the driveway until the right 3 wheels stop being driven? the Left 3 wheels spinning as usual drive it back into the garage. There was no drag so I don't think it is a bearing? it was just like the 3 wheels on the right were unpowered?
Chains look fine but don't spin from the transmissions effort, certainly not broken. The brake/streering was off/disengaged although it drags alittle. Since the left 3 wheels run fine like. I suspect the engine/left transmission are still working.
So what is up with the other/right drive system? I understand that the Argo transmission is two transmissions in one housing so there could be a right only problem?
No noises or loud bangs, just malfunction? I wasn't pushing the argo hard. it should have been above freezing in the garage. I drove it around the yard yesterday without issue?
Where should I start looking? How do you check fluid?
