two speed trans

[spits]

What is the advantage of the two speed trans for a 6x6 argo? Also what is a good used one worth?

[coosaridgerider]

I have a 2 speed in my argo and love it.The low gear comes in handy when your pulling someone out or getting out of a tough situation.I wish they made a t20 with low gear.I would say the value of that trans is $300 to $400 depending on how bad a person needs it.You never see ago trans for sale?Are you buying or selling.

Yeah, low gear is really nice for pulling or hill climbing. You never run out of power in low, you will spin all the tires first.

A few months ago, there was a SwampFox 8x8 for sale on Craigslist in Alaska with a high low range gear box coupled to the T20.

I'm buying the tranny for a spare more than anything. 200.00 will buy it. I am a the start of the track building process so I don't know if i want to spend the cash right away. I have to see how much the tracks will cost.

2 speed trans coupled to T-20

Evil8X8,
Do you remember what kind of 2 speed trans they coupled to the T-20?
Or, maybe a link to that E-Bay auction?
Thanks, David

Apex transmission

I actually thought about trying to use an Apex Trans. I wonder if it could handle 20 - 30 HP through it? The output turns the opposite direction of the input shaft.

Did older argo 6x6 have two speed?

I have a mid 80 argo 6x6 with the 16hp Techumse. It has a single speed trans geared fairly low. I can just about run faster than the machine. (although not for long 15 - 20 seconds) Did any of them come with a two speed?

2 speed

Maniac. I have two mid 80's argo's both with 2 speeds. One for sure is an 83 according to the dealer. It has double row #50 chain, the other not sure of the year has single #50 chain. But both have hi and low range.

I just picked up a 83(??) and the cable from the shifter for the High-low is not attched. Do you have a any pics of where it attaches. I must only be in low gear cause I can almost walk faster than it. I also have the 16 techumse do you have any pics of it too. I have a different carb and am getting the proper one but need to see how the cables and links hook up ..... trying to find the manuals but still looking Thanks Westy

[argohunter]
