Nice job Fred.

Very nice job Fred! Sounds like Carter is telling you he wants to ride

Great job Fred! I don't feel so bad now, I saw your rutted up yard, its just like mine. I guess that's a symptom to our 6 wheeler disease.

The stick conversion to the middle is the best conversion for a Hustler. It centers things and get everything balanced, it ought to swim good too.

Yeah, the misses was totally against it, but since I'm getting a load of topsoil dropped in and leveled out in a week or so and a new fence, she didnt feel so bad about rutting it up. I love the sticks in the center, it has a better feel, being able to navigate head on instead of leaning from the side. I didnt think about the improvement in balance while in the water,, I'm looking forward to testing it out.

Yeah, maybe, but he don't like the sound of The Hustler. He favors the MaxIV more, and loves sitting in it!!

Lets just hope that Carter doesnt like chewing on either of them....

Your cousin said that if Carter does chew it up the Hustler or Max that she is giving orders for me to take Carter over to your house next. I was told that she has your address & is not afraid to use it.
BTW this is Karen typing,,, lol!!!!

Thanks alot Joe!! I try my best to make my machine "Fred-Proof" as much as I can!! I believe it will prove to be quite reliable.

I just finished my custom 2-1 exhaust with the SuperTrap Muffler and I absolutely love it. I don't know if it's the sound but the exhaust feels like it has given my Hustler a new "HEART". This has to be the best exhaust that I have welded, both in looks and in power. The crazy part is that, I just did it,,,,, now math or secret recipe for optimum power or air flow,,, I just simple started measuring, cutting and welding. Here is the youtube link:

Sounds really good dude. I like the harshness, kind of like a dragster.

JAEZUS CHROIST that thing is loud! You must have some very understanding neighbors. Reminds me of my neighbor's dirt track car, my M I L freaks out when he fires it up during nap time. (hehehehe)
