Hi,
My name is Mark. I am new to AATV's but I love all things mechanical. I just purchased my first 6x6. It is a Hustler 980. Although it appears to be in very good shape, it is a project. I was told the engine would run but giving the fact it is missing some components, like a starter, I am counting on it being bad. I hope the t20 is good but if not, just another fun thing to learn about. You can see pictures and follow my project on my blog 6×6 Amphibious ATV Project | Mark's Blog
While there, checkout some of my other projects, like my 72 T/A build, a couple of CNC builds, Quad copter and other random stuff.

I look forward to picking the brains of the 6x6 gods on here and hope to be able to share some learnings as well.

Hi Mark, welcome to the site. Congratulations on your Hustler. It does look to be in good shape. The good news is that, looking at your other interests, you are mechanically inclined enough that the internals of the Hustler will be very simple if there are any repairs needed. The T20 is also a pretty simple transmission to work on if needed. I look forward to seeing more photos as you get the Hustler up and running. :cool:

Thanks Mike!
