Newbie here---first question

[im4524]

Just bought my son a 84 Hustler.

My first two questions----
-Appears there is NO muffler...we have a 3 yr. old that does not want to ride due to the noise. So I want to quiet it down, as cheap as possible. Not worried if we lose a little performance. suggestions?

-Not sure if we need to adjust transmission, when we turn, should one wheel side lock and the other have power? I would think the 'non-powered' wheel should flow freely, not lock?

THANKS

Your Hustler is turning correctly. These are skid steer machines meaning that you brake one side to steer. As for the muffler, what motor do you have?

Welcome to the site.

If you could post a picture of it we could tell you everything you need to know about it. If its a 84 its either a 950 or 980I/c model.

That's an odd track setup. It has drive chains mounted outside the body. There's another 6X6World member that has that same Hustler track system, so it must have been a factory original.....maybe some sort of low production option. Regardless, it's very cool and very unique! Could you tell us some more about how it works?

Man ive been dying to see some good pictures of a track setup like this. Like Jp said there is another guy on here that has one like yours but he posted one picture and I that was it. Jp what kind of motor does this Hustler have? Im not up on the 2 strokes.
