- In this video, we address the body sag which eventually inflicts older Argo's by building a new body support frame.

Great repair on this ARGO, well done!
Thanks Donn! Hopefully the next video won't take quite so long. Congrats on your new building by the way, it's really nice!
Nice video looks great and what a fun project..looking forward to the next vid god bless
*You done an excellent job designing and making the framework Bennett!* 😁👍 Sorry to hear about the file transfer problems, it happen to us all though. Glad you could recover some of the footage however. Happy wrenching my friend 🔧🔩
Great to hear from you again Zane, I saw your community post a while back about the price of metal. Are you getting a chance to do much wrenching yourself?
@@RustRehab not really, the off camera stuff has been keeping me way too busy 😔 Hopefully soon though
Awesome job ,I can't wait until the next video
Thanks Mark! The engine repair in the next video was definitely not in the plans, I hoped to maybe build an enclosure for it over the winter instead, but it was worth doing for sure
nice, waiting for other videos (truck maybe)
This has been a really helpful video! Mine sags also and the tracks rub. I also want to make a cab for it and that will need more support. Your setup looks really solid!
Thanks! So far so good on that support. I just picked up Southey old Argo, an I/C, and the body on it is so bad that it rubs even on the tires with no tracks. I bought it for parts originally, but it actually might be good enough to restore
@@RustRehabit’s incredible how little has changed to the frame of them over the years. It’s like the old chevy small blocks.
Interesting & from the Mastercraft stuff... obviously Cabadian.
I haveca slightly newer conquest 8x8 with Kawasaki. We use it to drag moose out in season. I really want to do similar to this but doubt if it will be this year. I want a bale lifter hoop & a winch mount behind the seat to run it. The idw being to raise tge moose head over the rear & make it easier to drag....
Moose hunting was my first big game hunt, and has always been my favourite whenever I can get a tag. When I build my enclosure, the plan is to run some pulleys (or just have a rear winch) routing the cable off the rear top of the enclosure so that I can hook it to a big game animal and either get the head and shoulders off the ground for an easier drag, or just to make it easier to get that animal in the back. That's the plan anyways, we'll see if I can get around to it maybe this winter
Great idea
Nice work!
Thanks! Hopefully it will be useful to other Argo users
It will for sure!
“…aaand also laziness!” Lol
