Hi my name is Cole Anger and im new to the site. I own two amphibious vechicles one is a 1971 jiger versatrek and the other is a 1978 argo 6x6. Theres nothing like an amphibious vehicle!! I live in clifford ontario and im 18 years old.

Welcome aboard!!! You should post some info/pictures/video on your jiger! Neat little machines and not many around.

Im pretty sure all poly bodies are 4 chain. I about 95% sure so could be wrong. Do you know what motor was in it? Do you have any guages or fuel gage? Electric start?

Larry is right, every poly body used a 4 chain frame. The 6 chain frames came in the ST model Attexes (with ABS bodies).

My name is Dennis and I am from Southwest lower Michigan. I am looking to purchase a 6x6 or 8x8 or perhaps a project vehicle. I want to know thew differences and the qualities of each before I jump in with both feet. I also want to know what the maintenance costs will likely be. I have been reading this forum for a few days and have found a lot of information. I would be interested in if you guys may have a used one or a project for sale?
Thanks

Welcome Dennis!!! Best bet is to drive some first hand and get a feel for each machine. Your pretty close to me and I wouldnt mind you testing out one of my machines. I also know a guy with an argo and Im sure he wouldnt mind either. Or you can wait for ashtubula time or some meeting of amphibs and take a gander at them all. Other then test driving I guess you just need to research each machine.

Once you have a good running machine maintenance isn't that expensive most of the time. Maybe belt, chain, tire or bearing. Little more if you run into trany or engine problems. Tires are a big investment if you need all 6 or 8.

You should visit the ebay/craigslist classified section. Frequently a couple of use members just scan everything and post all the good deals we find.

Welcome to the site and good luck on your hunt!

Hello, just discovered this site and this 77 yr. old is having a great time reading and learning. Not even a basic mechanical background but willing to learn.
I have a Max IV (1996) and enjoy using it. Little things occasionally crop up and need attention which I try to take care of with my limited ability.
This old Georgia boy will check this site very frequently. Thanks to all who share their knowledge!
