Ran into a fellow yesterday he`s my gas meter guy he`s got a J5 track machine -a hovercraft -& a Coot it articulates in middle gotta check these out he`s admiring my Bobcat --my restore is all done thank god .---What size are these chains .

@MrMrtiki Awesome, I jave no idea what a J5 is, but have had lots of fun in the past with Hovercrafts and Coots, lol.

Chains on this Argo are Single 60 on the back 2 axles and Double 50 on the front 2 and idlers. My other Conquest is a little older and has tha Double 50 all around.

I don't think I could afford to have someone else do it for me ;-)

great vids doc , i have watched them all and by doing so i've bought a 99 conquest, my question is what chain size does my machine have, ? i want to get spare equipment and tools  could you do a video of nessesary tools and parts for us subscribers?

[RockDoctor07]

I believe it was 99 that the conquest went from all"Double 50 Chain" to half "Double 50" and half" Single 60"

You should have Double 50 for your "Idlers" and front 2 axles, and "Single 60" for the back 2 axles.

Check out the ARGO Forum at "6x6 World. com" for Parts and tool lists. Very good site, I go by Rock Doctor there as well.

@MrMrtiki I have seen links that have a different style of "hairclip", (no split in one end), and also the links that have tiny little cotter pins holding the plates togeather.
