Hustler ATVs

[jpswift1]

Here is my Hustler 980 BIG FOOT. These machines had a deeper tub so they could fit 26" tires on a 12" rim. They have a stronger frame, front and rear bumpers with factory fog lights, and lower gearing than the standard Hustlers and this one which I just bought recently has a 694cc Briggs flat twin engine which were used from around 1982-1985. It will be really nice when I have it done and I will have pictures up soon. By the way, as for size this machine is a little bigger than a Max IV. If anyone else has some info on Hustlers it would be greatly appreciated!

Jeff, you really do have quite the collection man. I love that you can have the 26" tires on there. Thanks for posting everything for us. by the way, I added the hustler forum so I moved this thread there.

Thanks Mike. Good call on moving the pics. This information is just a tiny bit of what I have. Wait until a week or so and see how much stuff will be on here, especially with all of the things from Mike C, Don K, and Dan R. Lets make this the best 6x6 site out there!

That is a sawweett hustler. What kinda tires you planning on running??

[jpswift1]

Thanks! The tires that are on it are the original equipment Goodyear 26x12x12 Super Terra Grip. I thought about going to a 28" mud tire but I think I'm just going to keep the 26's on there because they are great in mud and are very good in water as well. A lot of those mud tires give you little, if any water propulsion.

A outlaw atv tire would actually provide alot of water propulsion, and be excellent in the mud.
