Yeah the Hustler is surely coming along, with a issues here and there. I finally opened up the heads and saw that one of the pistons was seized. I later found out once I open up the block that I have a piston and the same connecting rod blown. Cory and I noticed that the timing points (one on the cam and one on the crankshaft) didn't line up. So the engine suffered a "Heart-attack" because of the previous owners knowledge or lack there of. I got parts on order and should all be at my house around the 30th of the month! 4 hours is all i need to get him running. Meka and I talk about you and the misses often, reminiscing about our wonderful experience at Busco, mostly because of your hospitality as well as everyone else's. We (I) opted to sell the Max II so that we (I) can get a Hustler 980, a machine that we (I) both can comfortably enjoy. In due time she will surely have her own. Well I hope you get some good footage of the first test run of the crush!

It was warm this week so i was able to finally get some welding done on the machine. The rear brace and the seat mounting assemble are now welded and will weld the hoop in place Monday or Tuesday. Been so cold that i can't work on it long at a time. Sent my T-20 to Don to rework he has a lot of spare parts for these things and he has finished with it except the center plate, had to find a donor mine was bad. I haven't had a chance to take pictures but i will next week of the changes. When the t-20 returns there will be a lot of advancement. Thanks for asking. It's 22 degrees here right now so i need a few warm days. Thursday it was almost 70 here, what a change!!!!
