Hi all! Appreciate being allowed into the forum. I just bought a 2003 Argo Conquest about a month ago and have tons of questions. I’ve been reading the forums over as much as possible to find answers, so hopefully I don’t annoy people with repetitive questions.
Thanks!

I'm new to this site and to AATVs. I'm an old retired army guy and have tinkered with machines most of my life. I've been sort of interested in AATVs for a good while and found a 74 Hustler near me so I brought it home. I live near a small town in northcentral AL. Learned a lot from snooping on this forum so I worked on it for about two weeks and got it driveable. It still needs some mechanical help and much help in the appearance department but I've found so much info here I think I'll be able to get it just the way I want it. With a little luck.

New to the forum, just purchased a 2017 frontier S 8x8 with tracks, from Wisconsin. I tried to sign up before buying an Argo, but by time I was approved I bought this 2017. Found out they are not allowed on our trails and registered as a boat. Which is fine, I need it for my land anyhow. I have a mechanical background as a machinist and aircraft technician which will come in handy with the Argo.

sounds like a great machine ..and you will have no problem keeping it in good shape . welcome , j.b.

Hello Folks

Just joined the forum.
From Newfoundland,Canada.
Just purchased my first argo 2021 Frontier Scout 8x8 700
Awesome rig, useless without tracks here now in dead of winter lol. Soon Tracks .
Owned hundreds of bikes and lots of skidoos. Excited to have an argo in the family.

Welcome, congratulations on your new rig. I agree, they need tracks, I’m loooking at Adair tracks. I’m surprised Im not dead from the workout I got getting stuck in the snow first day I got mine. She stayed parked. Now that it’s melting here now, I’m enjoying poking around with the Argo. Good luck with your 700.

hey Everyone,

Well Just got a hustler dont know what year or model as Not sure how to tell.

It needs TLc as it looks like it been out in the weather for some time, needs chains bad they are rusted beyond belief an well Tires look like slicks. It was cheap so I know that will be a big expense.
What is a good source for the 21x11x8 tires and what works best for mainly off road little to no water use. But if it did see water will still propel it foward.
Also What size typically are the Chains in this beast. need to order a roll of the stuff and some masterlinks

[OpelNut]

Well Got a hustler project. Pretty complete just abandon since 81 and left outside to die,
Got to re-wire, an the tires looK like slicks. Wonder if its possible to make the Kohler FI so Carm adjustments for Altitude could be a thing of the past.
time to dig thru the posts to see what I can learn about this beast. First Question is what size Chain does this thing use all of mine are rusted solid!!

I have owned ATV’s all my life but now bought a Max IV and rebuilt it from the 23hp Koehler to new oring chains and idlers. This site has been very helpful and would like to thank everyone who posted. Gonna send pics and vids once I figure out how. It runs great and all my parts have come from 6x6 site except for the oring chains.

[Shawn beale]

I just bought myself a heavily modified 73 terra-jet 400E
As I don't have lots of knowledge on these, I thought I'd search out others who might have one. I found 6x6 world. I'm on vancouver island 😃

Hey there,
Thanks for having me. I farm part-time in Ontario Canada. I needed a tracked vehicle for spring maple syrup. Bought a1994 Magnum. Was in decent shape. Needed a new brake blower, brake service and now the transmission clutch. But it had new tires and decent plastic tracks. I custom built a cab this winter, had custom vinyl panels made and upgraded to LED lights. I think it's the perfect machine. Had 320hrs when I bought it. Hope it works well for years to come.

Well went to pull the plug on my hustler Kohler 16 hp. and well busted off. So easy enough pulled the head off to make it easier to remove broken plug an piston wont move up or down (frozen) will let the whole mess soak a bit and see if I can free it up. Got seafoam filled crank case and some in the piston jug. will see. otherwise it looks like a rebuild or replacement. Its a k341 what are the things to squeeze a bit more power out of it. Figure I will replace the carb with new so I dont have to rebuild it as it seems as frozen as the motor.

Where is a good source for upgrade cam, header or any other upgrades in performance. Or shall I just be happy with what it is?

Thanks suppose I should start a re-build thread. If I knew where or how to/

Zach Kerber machine and design, Midwest super cub, carrier performance, vogel manufacturing should get you a good start on Kohler goodies

Also you will likely get more responses and info if you post in the engine section. Lots of good info there too.

Thanks for letting me join. I've been lurking for a few years while waiting for an opportunity to purchase an argo and a few months ago I picked up my 1989 Magnum 8x8 with 270 hours. I've already replaced all of the bearings on the axels and idler shafts, done some electrical and brake work, and now am just looking for a set of tires to replace my worn runamucks. I have experience using argo's for work in the past, but its nice to own my own machine for hunting and exploring.
