First time poster here. Thanks to all who contribute, it helps a great deal.
I am rebuilding my first Argo. It is a 1985.
When I bought it, I thought I would just build a new seat for it and go enjoy....Right. Nothing works like that.
It has a Tecumseh 16 hp and after I got it going a bit I was very disappointed with the lack of power. I read a post on here regarding putting in a 10 hp diesel from Princess auto. I was inspired and the engine was on sale, so I bought one and pulled my Tecumseh.
I found a gear puller and tried to pull my clutch off....and broke it. Oh, so there is such a thing as a clutch puller? I should have read deeper into the forums first. I checked with my local Argo dealer here and new clutch is $550 (Grande Prairie, Alberta). Too much for me. I found a used Argo that I can buy for parts ($400) and I will use a CLUTCH puller this time. Or, thanks to a poster on this forum I found a new clutch for under $200 that looks like it will work. I could really use some expert opinions on this.
206095A - Model 94 1" Bore 1 3/16 Belt
Can you guys tell me what you think of this clutch?
It seems okay. the bore and belt size are right. I just want to make sure I am not missing anything before I buy it.
Thanks all
PS. I recently bought a throttle cable from these guys for something like $2 and change. So cheap I bought 2 of them. I got 2 throttle cables delivered in the mail for about $12. Not bad quality either.
