I got a Hustler! (part 2)

[Guy]

Yep, closed the deal on my second Hustler, fourth 6x6!
This one Jet option Hustler - Amphibious ATV Pictures is a jet optioned 880.
chains roll, 2 stroke twin rolls, jet steering on the left, key under that, suicide shifter for the (yes it is) T20 trans on the far left floorboard.
Froze e-brake handle to the right of that.
Choke in the back seat and a big round knob not hooked up to anything.
You all love pics,and i love comments/input/constructive criticism!

See this pic? Hustler 880 :: Dirty pics,lol picture by testrun00 - Photobucket


not mine, but see the hump in the back? Left of the nasty looking T20?

On mine, the riding mower type battery sits there.

Not as rusty as some.

I feel lucky!

Got some time to work on the 880. I had drained all the gas and put in a fresh battery, so I squeezed the bulb primer until gas came out of the Tillotson, turned the key and the CCW twin fired right up! I think it starts easiest of all my machines.
I removed the angle drive that runs the jet pump from it's place under the engine and welded a broken ear on the jet engagement clutch and got that spinning again. Quite a unique setup.

Glad to hear the positive updates! I can't wait to see this machine all done. Could you please take a video of it swimming with the jet pump?! We'd love to see that and I'd bet that you'd be the only one on Youtube.
