Argo Ready to Go

[TBow]

I took my 8X8 Argo with me moose hunting the end of September and put between 20 to 25 hours on it. It ran good all week, but if you're a tinkerer at all, you see little things that you'd like to do to get things in top shape. So this past week I put my nose to the grind stone and got all those little (and some not so little) jobs all caught up to get the buggy in shape for November, which I hope will see some use.

Jobs checked off list:

1. Oil change (had to get a new oil extractor pump and modify it)

2. Replaced the old patched up right side idler drive axle with a new one I'd bought before going moose hunting

3. Replaced the two drive axle bearings on the right side.

4. Replaced all of the roll pins on the drive chain sprockets with new spring pins

5. Retensioned the idler chains

6. Lubed all chains

7. Replaced the broken exhaust pipe from the muffler to the exhaust extension

8. Replaced a couple broken body rivets

9. Replaced one damaged chain tensioner spring

10.Adjusted and tightened one bearing collar on a drive axle

So she's in as good a shape as its ever been since I've owned this old girl. So c'mon deer season and peak rut!.....and if she snows, I'll pop the tracks on it. If it snows too much, I'll throw the plow on it too.

Sounds like it's ready for deer season! Argo's are awesome, I'd love to own one someday.
