All the years of work on Argos really come across as hard earned experience in this video.

Thank you for sharing If I had an Argo, hope to have a friend with your knowledge and expertise. 🤗⭐🏆🙏

I appreciate & enjoy your Argo maintenance videos. There don't seem to be many with your level of detail, so thanks!

I would have to pay someone to fix this for me. Hopefully some day I get in touch with my inner mechanic. ha ha Glad you go it fixed.

Nice shop !

You should always coat the axle with anti-seize also add some grease to the bearings using a needle into the top hole.These bearings always need more grease. The front sprocket doesn’t need the set screw tighten,it centres itself when traveling.Andy from Canada

this must happened a while ago in 2022. looks so sunshine and warm.

I just got a 950 huntmaster... OMG they are constant maintenance. 4 hours of riding and at least 6 hours of checking and adjusting after that!

It looks ready to hunting now.

It seems like problems always occur in the middle of hunting season. Bummer!

Well if I ever get an Argo I know who to bring it to when it breaks! Looks like you have all the equipment/machinery and knowledge to open your own Argo repair shop! 😁

A bit of a task.

You never cease to amaze me. Are you the Alaskan McGuyver? 👍

Hope this helps: I missed you removing the thrust bolt and inner bearing set screws initially. Anytime I am getting a bearing on or off the axle, wire wheel the shaft after you have it clean, then shoot some cheap lube (WD-40 etc) to help it slide off(especially when re-installing new bearing). Always pre-grease new bearings on the bench with a needle point tip. If anyone chooses to tap on the end of an axle for any reason, make sure you have a thrust bolt installed so you don’t stretch/deformed the end of the axle. When it’s time to tighten outer bearing set screws, never tighten until you have located the bearing properly. Best way is to insert axle (no sprocket necessary) into the inner bearing race and have all pieces (flange, gasket, bearing, carrier ring) in place and seat everything against body fully. Clamp outer bearing with a vise grip (just like old style outer bearings), pull axle out and then tighten set screws. The 4 flange bolts pull flange in, and the thrust bolt pulls axle in, roughly equal amount on both so that you do not side load bearing excessively. You’ll get a much longer lifespan this way. You’ll know it’s perfect when you can grab a lug stud with a finger and thumb and spin axle with very little resistance. Any time you need to remove or replace the thrust bolt in the end of axle, simply put a 9/16 wrench on it and turn the axle hub (outside the machine). No need to stand on your head and give yourself a stroke lol. Enough of that already when working on Argos. Conceivably, you could also install the outer bearing “set screw out” since it is symmetrical and there are grease channels on both halves of the outer race. This makes it easier (lazier) to locate bearing properly prior to tightening set screws. But, set screw “in” is better because of the flat spot ground into axle. You could even grind another flat spot to use the lazy method. Just a few helpful tips, hope that helps you next time! Enjoyed the video, Jeff, Alaska Bush Tracks LLC 907-354-5319 It looks like you are running a small wheel spacer with your tracks, is that the case?

What do you use as a solvent in your parts washer? I like diesel or kerosene but I've heard it hard on the pump.
