Lots of good progress. Only one major thing left, which is mounting the radiator. A variety of odds and ends - finish partial body band, purchase belt and install, purchase primary chain and install, little bit of wiring, etc.20200315_181713.jpg20200315_181737.jpg20200315_181758.jpg20200315_182043.jpg20200315_182056.jpg
Dirtdobber,
Very nice job! You have put a lot of time and work into this Hustler and looks great! Hopefully you can get the radiator mounted soon and take it out for a test run. Nice machine
Thank you Rick.

10 feet of chain for fifty bucks is not a bad price, is it? I can get primary drive chains installed this weekend.
I had a little setback with my fuel pump. I reused the electric pump that went with the donor lawn mower from which I took the engine. Little did I know the pump has a tiny hole cast in it that dumps fuel out (its an in-tank pump). I made a mess when I hit the key, and now I'm waiting on a new fuel pump to arrive.
i always liked the way those machines looked . yours is going to be top notch.. the experience of that first ride is the the reward for a job well done ! have fun . johnboy va.
Not if it's American, he careful they changed the boxes. Sapphire is Chinese, will have RSC on it, true diamond will have a symbol on it.Originally Posted by dirtdobber
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.

20200321_065145.jpgAj you mean not if its Chinese?
It's the real stuff.
That looks American just be sure no other links are stamped RSC. Sapphire is made in Taiwan, also seen Tsubaki from Taiwan.
You can see the wax in that picture so you know it is new, many sellers sell stuff in open box and state as new when it is used spares in the new box. Maybe they don't know, maybe they do but that wax concoction is a certainty.
The difference between U.S., Japan and others can be 4000lb tensile strength and possibly half the hour life.
