  • looking to put new tires on hustler

    hey guys back with another question!!! Looking for new tires on my machine. It currently has 21-11x8 will 22x11x8 fit it? It looks like it will just make it buy the skin of its teeth! Its and older machine with the 440 in it. thinking its from the mid 70's
    any input is greatly appreciated!

      The earlier Hustlers with the 440's have the muffler which exits between the two left rear wheels. The 22's will be a tight fit there because of it. Now if the body is plastic (HDPE or poly) you could relocate the muffler and run up to 25" tires. If the body is fiberglass, then 22's would be a tight fit but they should fit. Just be careful at high speeds, because the tires will expand, especially if they're soft, and they'll eventually rub through your tub. Also, for AATV advice, your best bet is to stick here to 6X6World. We all help each other out to promote the hobby because we're such a small tight knit group. Richard Clark is in it for the money, and will often try to sell you something at a very high price.

          He is insanely overpriced, he offers very little to no customer support/service, and the many of the parts are really low quality. If you ever need any driveline parts like bearings, belts, flanges, seals, sprockets, or chain, the guys at Buffalo Bearing take real good care of us 6x6World members. They'll give you really great parts, advice, service, and prices. (716) 874-1720. They great folks to deal with.

            Cool man!I just saved them to my cell phone.Would they have axels by chance I have broken the same one twice with in the last week. First time I welded with a 110v mig and it cracked,the second time I used a 220v stick and I hope this is going to hold.He wants 100 bucks per axel

              They don't do axles, but I have an original equipment Hustler axle that I'd sell you for half of what Richard Clark charges.
