Argo ATV: Tracks and Modifications

This is not my standard Alaska adventure video; rather it is a maintenance video. Adventures take toys and toys require some love from time to time. I have found very little content, in the way of Argo maintenance videos, to assist Argo users in keeping their machines on the trail. That said, I have published 3 videos in an Argo ATV maintenance series.
1: Argo ATV: How to Service an Argo
2: Argo ATV: Tracks and Modifications
3: Argo ATV: Axles, Barings and Chains
Each of these videos share my field experience and all repairs were made after consulting certified Argo mechanics.

In this video I share how to put tracks on an Argo, a repair on the belly pan/skid plate, a recommended modification to the hood, and the need for better lightening and mud flaps.

Very good presentation. I would assume that someone purchasing an ARGO new would be wise to improve the seal around the body pan as you have done. Sealing it against sand and gravel before it has a failure issue. Having been in engineering all my life I always look for points of possible failure. Please keep videos like this one coming.

Adair tracks need grousers. Great video thanks.

Your biggest upgrade should be to Alaskan Bush Tracks 🙂

Im having a hard time with tracks ive made lol probably gonna have to cave in for better guides. Not sure might just buy argo tracks at this point
Id really, like to put suspension on my argo. There used to be a kit to buy, but the company is gone from what i understand. Theres no cheap way to do it, need axles with cv shafts no matter what.

I know this is an old video but I have some Argo questions. Had an OLD argo I resurrected but after one season it was obvious it was going to be a money pit so I got rid of it & got a new 2016 Ranger 6x6. Very capable machine & love it, but when I moose hunting I find myself missing thinking of Argos... What year is yours? New is out of my budget. Thinking I can get 15000 ish out of my Ranger so that would be my price range. What year ranges are to be avoided? Looking for any first hand perspective I can get.

Great tips. Thanks! What made you choose these tracks over stock argo rubber tracks?

[sartainja]

You made that look too easy.
Great idea for the hood.
How up maintenance does the Argo require especially since you are in Alaska?

[tommycashflow]

Would you buy the same tracks.. again or something diffrent ? Thanks

5:06. $1k for a hood??? Good lord, I’m in the wrong business.

Those tracks are the worst kind to have as that dont have the ability to float on soft ground and in deep loon shit mud
