Good Looking Machine! Tub looks in good shape... I have a 980 Deep Tub apart in my garage....one of these days.

Hey Guys, I live in Nashville and haven't had the Hustler out on a trail ride in a long time, not a lot of choices close...too much rock and not enough mud in Middle Tn. If you all put a ride...

I built one of those a while back.....I put in a cam, stiffer springs, did a valve job and got rid of the governor. Cant remember if i replaced the valves to fit the new cam, i might have. I think i...

I found the part number for the Timken Bearing I used on the Hustler 980 resto. Fafnir G1103KPPB4 is the 1.25 diameter triple three ply sealed concentric collar bearing that will fit the stock...

Still have the 980? If so, PM me please.
Best,

Mike, I remember when you built this thing....bad-ass max. Really nice machine, someone will get a fun toy!

Timken does make a 1.25" bearing that will fit the stock hustler flanges, i used them on my 980 build after i worn out a set of cheap chinese bearings in about 15 hours of use. It's been a long time,...

Awesome, hope you are well Mike. I still need to see that bad boy Max you built several years back. Hope i can get out this year.

So 10 years after beginning the build, the hustler has found it's way back to Tennessee. Man I feel old, I can't believe its been that long. Thanks to Tony for selling it back and for some great...

Hi Folks,
As a 10-year veteran of this website, I want to share some thoughts and concerns. Let me begin by saying I have the utmost respect for Mike and the way he built and moderated this website...

Hey Guys, I built a hustler a few years back and sold it to Coosaridgerider in Alabama. I heard he passed away, really sorry to hear that, great guy. I am wondering what happened to the Hustler after...

Hey mike, I ran 26 tooth drive gears (2 on the axles) and 24 's as a final drive. It was geared just about right, even with the 26" ASX tires but my engine was putting out 60+ HP and about that much...

Thanks, Roy!

The engine, gearing and clutch set up give you lots of low end torque; you can crawl around at very low speeds much better than the factory set up. The power and speed is there only if you need...

38mph at 4000, that's about perfect. Very cool....glad you are enjoying it. Might want to carry a spare hat :)
I will did up those specs, and I couldn't find that extra throttle cable, it might have...

Hey Roy....great video!! Really makes me miss that machine, but glad you are getting out and enjoying it. Love the strait away shots. I never really ran it much after installing the dual carbs and...

Hey Guys, I have been running a comet duster drive and driven clutch set on my Hustler 980 for 3 years and never had any problems. The engine is a highly modified Briggs Big Block putting out 60+Hp...
