Thanks for posting pics. You may wan't to post on the hustler roll call thread and also the older hustler model id thread. there should also be some good pics on the sight to help with your chain routing.

I sure will!

Mopars in the blood I see I am having fun with my 340 Dart I picked up

You know it! Can't go wrong with a 340, or any mopar motor for that matter.

To look at those pictures I'd swear it was a 900 as they are generally the ones with the 3 holes, unless maybe yours was a Kohler 2 stroke . That muffler looks like it has some sort of silencer or spark arrestor built onto it, as big as it is I'm surprised it's still there..

Im pretty sure it is a silencer. The new motor on the machine isn't run through it, so unless yall think it's a factory hustler silencer, I'm going to take it off and use it on my loud as hell max.

Got the new chains all on it and routed right. Half links solved the problem. It'll be ready to go with new gas.

I think I broke my max pushing the hustler out of the garage. More on that in the Max section under the Max II project thread.

The hustler was rocking today, not so much rolling though. It seems the clutch is frozen. The three small arms that thrust outward move, and the outer plate moves inward a little ways when hit with a hammer. I have no experience with fixing centrifugal clutches, what should i do to get it back into working order?
