Hustler Restoration Question

[Dan67]

I got the grinder out with a small cut off wheel...All done! I'll remove the tranny tomorrow and out with the frame. I talked with a guy this past week thats going to sandblast the frame for me. I'll slap a great paint job on it then back in after the tub is clean!...

Once you get the frame back go over it inspecting all the welds and look for stress cracks. If you don't weld you should take the frame to a machine shop and have them fix any cracks or bad welds before you repaint it. I'm glad I did on mine and I had some metal added to reinforce it.

Update fellows! I just finish the tear down. the Hustler 950 is totally taken apart. Everything is socking with a degreaser. I'll power wash it Saturday. The frame appears to be in good shape. I'll send it off to the sandblaster next week. Now its time to buy all new bearings...inner and outer. I'll post some pics this weekend.

Hustler? Pay attention to the trans mount and do one of the few upgrades posted on this site.

One of the best upgrades you can do that will really help is the T-20 bracing. I think just about every hustler owner here as had to upgrade the mount to keep the t-20 from twisting out. Check out this thread http://www.6x6world.com/forums/hustl...st-husler.html

This is what I did in mine.
