Hi Dave, welcome to the forum. Upload some photos of your Argo to the gallery if you get a chance so that we can take a look at your handywork. It sounds like you should be ready to ride fairly soon. I'm sure it feels good to be going back together with your Argo.

Hi folks... I'm Dave and I live in NE British Columbia. Bought my first 6x6 Argo in about 1982 and am currently just starting a restoration on an early 80's HTB 8x8. Pretty much done with chains and bearings, now to rebuild wire harness and then bolt it all back together for a test drive. I got some great info on tire replacements from this forum as well as a lot of other tips.

While you're in there bolt yourself a nice 4-5 inch fan, like the ones the school busses had for the driver, under the hood. Will make a big difference in the summer and shouldn't need to run with the hood off.

Nice pics by the way.

Good morning I'm Paul from the great state of michigan, my son and I have purchased a 1968 action age srambler as a project to restore, engine has been rebuilt so it runs pretty good tires not bad the problem were having is we cant get it to turn.Plates are both free, all fuild lines have been replaced and air removed. Tryed puttting spacers in but still nothing seems to work. Anyone out there have same problem or am I missing something? Thanks

You need to see if the Brakeing pads are in good shape ? You may need new pads ? That are Not very thick and tend to where out.

[paulalan]

Thanks
where would one go to have them replaced or is there place to buy pads and put them on our self

[wedge]

Some auto parts stores can have yours relined. I got some Terra tiger clutches done here in lower pa. I am sure someone here may have some good input on this as there is ALOT of great people on here.

Hey Everyone,

I live out on Vancouver Island in British Columbia Canada. I was visiting a buddy up in Northern British Columbia and I noticed under a bunch of tarps at the back of his garage he had a 2002 8x8 argo conquest. I asked him about it and he tried to give it to me, said it didn't run. Anyway gave him $500 loaded it in my truck stopped by lordco got a $16 dollar fuel pump (determined this was the immediate problem) and viola here I am. I'm a little handy but definitely not a mechanic so would love to hear all your suggestions. Just ordered a full set of tires and am in the process of redoing the bench seats (rats made a home in one). Also I have one track(13.5") the original argo plastic one so if anyone wants to sell me a single track I would be interested. I intend to use the machine mostly for moose and duck hunting with a little ski touring in the winter. Looking forward to hearing everyones stories and suggestions. Also looking for a windshield.

Cheers

Nick

Hey Nick, welcome to the forum. It sounds like you got a great deal on your Conquest. Upload some photos of it to the gallery if you get a chance.

Hi Bjorn, welcome to the forum and congratulations on picking up your Max II. If you need some help, start a thread in the max forum and someone should be able to help.

Now that’s a heck of an idea.... I was just looking at routering in some 1" slots in the hood but if I added the fan that would be a perfect match. I have two spare fuse locations on the new block....looking for parts tomorrow. Thnkx
