Picked up a Hustler Sport 42" 18 HP Today

[jakesmurray]

So my uncle picked this up today. It is three years old and very well taken care of. The original owner serviced it every year and kept it very clean. I think it was a good buy. Is there anything I should be aware of on these Hustlers- maintenance or usage wise? Thanks...

Nice mower you will be happy with it.
The engine has a fault. It likes to suck dirt and grass in under the cover. Take the engine cover off and clean the cooling fins.
And keep a good eye on the oil.

Make sure the rpm's are set at 3500-3600 rpms. Use good oil, keep cooling fins and machine clean. keep air filter clean, change fuel filter every year and it will treat you very good for a long time
