Fully Rebuilt - 8x8 Amphibious Vehicle Argo REBUILD Ep.10

The last episode in the busted rusted neglected 8x8 amphibious vehicle rebuild. This time the chain tensioner wear blocks get CNC milled at my friend's place @blackloopcnc9415 . Since we ran into a time pinch I finished off the ends of the milled blocks at home on my manual mill. And I must say - these PE blocks came out nice. Who needs dealerships and retail stores when you have a CNC... :) After the tensioners were installed I split the chains into proper lengths and installed them. Since I bought this machine from an auction in parts it was missing a couple of things. One of the things was magnetic drain plug for the gearbox. I used the drill chuck in my milling machine as a jig so I could guide the magnet into a plug filled with resin. After the resin hardened I could release the chuck and voilà - a DIY magnetic oil drain plug. Then it was time to repair the backrest. Or that's what I thought... I ended up cutting the thing apart and completely redoing the cross bar. I cut up an old and hated spring bed end frame to get the proper bends from and it all worked out nicely. Super satisfied with the result. Then I installed the wheels. At first I thought that a wheel is a wheel but no! You have to match the air pressure in all the tires and measure the circumference of each tire individually. The tallest ones have to be installed in the middle of the vehicle, smaller ones on the ends. Also different tire pressure is used on the axles - 5 psi front, 7 psi in the middle two and 6 psi on the rear axle. So go figure, the internet told me this. After that I poured in some fuel into the fuel tank and cranked it up. But it didn't start. The fuel system had to be primed since it was taken apart and completely drained. After priming the Argo just sprung to life. Everything seemed to be working properly. It did for a while. And then things happened. Check it out! I hope you enjoy this as I did. Now back to the swingblade project. And yeah, go check out the winners of the poll from previous episode in the community tab. 8x8 ARGO rebuild series full playlist:    • 8x8 ARGO Avenger REBUILD   This 8x8 ARGO sparked the homemade tracked amphibious vehicle build series a couple of years ago that you can watch here:    • Tracked Amphibious Vehicle Build   My other videos: https://www.youtube.com/DonnDIY/videos Support me on:   / donndiy   Follow me on:   / donndiy   #donndiy #8x8 #trackedvehicle Welding equipment borrowed from Spetselektroodi AS, Estonia: Fronius TransSteel 2700 welder Optrel Crystal 2.0 Welding Helmet Hypertherm Powermax 45 XP plasma cutter
