They used to have an Eastern Outdoors show at the Pennsylvania Farm Show building in Harrisburg, PA. There was a company there making the bottom half of an amphibious vehicle like the Argo. They use one sheet of material. It gets heated and vacuum formed in a vacuum mold. Then they put the formed body in a jig and drilled the holes for the axles. Those 8 wheeled amphibious vehicles used to be really popular in Central PA back in the 70's You hardly ever see them anymore.

Those 8 dimples holding the seal in place is factory. It was Argo`s way of grabbing cash when it came time to replace seals, they made you buy the whole housing. The newer design double seal at least you have a second chance at changing seals but its still designed to be a throw away..

Next time go to an industrial bearing and drive shop to get the bearings, sprokets or chains. There's no sense in paying that outrageous price premium. I live near Chattanooga TN and get my bearings from Chattanooga bearings and drive. I've been able to get bearings there anywhere from tiny R/C car when bearings all the way up to a huge multi taper self centering roller bearing about a foot in diameter. Bearings that are around the size that you would need for your machine only cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 to 20 dollars a piece. I'm here to tell ya, that company has saved me a small fortune allowing me to avoid the price hike of part suppliers. They usually are of higher quality than you would get from a parts warehouse. All their bearings are either made in the USA NSK or high quality made in Japan.

Hey RB, I was wondering if you knew where I could purchase 301cc hemi predator valve retainers? I can't seem to find any anywhere. I lost count of how many times I ordered some that I thought were it, but ended up being for the 212cc. Or if you have a parts motor that I could possibly purchase from you? I dont mean too be a bother. If you have the time too even read this, I would be truly grateful. Thank you for your time.

Red beard, I just found you guys thanks to an ACL surgery recovery. I’ll be riding the couch for a while. I’m researching Argos and they seem slow at 20mph. I can’t seem to find anyone that has hot rodded one.....Then there’s you guys supercharging V-twins. You’ve got to supercharge the Argo (because no-one else is doing it) You also mentioned you’re looking to sell it and here’s me looking to buy one. How can I get ahold of you guys to start that conversation? Thanks for what you’re doing,
