Regarding the aforementioned Argo Magnum, I think it’s safe to say that it is the epitome of what an off-road machine should be. It is safe, solidly built, extremely capable, and most importantly SIMPLE in construction. For example, the 18HP Kohler engine is not dependent on 12volt power to run, its electronic ignition system is simple and ultra-reliable, it uses bulletproof forced-air cooling instead of complex and problematic liquid cooling, the fuel supply system is entirely mechanical and requires no breakdown-prone electric fuel pump, etc. Kdg’s Magnum appears to be the perfect Argo.
How do I know this? Because I basically rebuilt it from the ground up, upgraded various parts where the stock units were not up to my standards, and made a few top secret modifications to improve the performance of said Magnum to the point where I can confidently say that this is the best Magnum ever built and quite probably the greatest Argo in the history of all Argodom.
And yet there is no mention of any of this. Geez, what’s a guy gotta do to get some credit around here.
