I know of two Hustlers that a guy has and wants to sell them. Year unknown. One would be for parts and other would be to restore. Has 2 stroke Kohler apart in box.
Running gear needs chains, bearings, seals and may need shafts. Rims are good but needs tires.
He also has an Argo 8x8 Year unknown Needs body work. Has good tires could use new rims and shafts, bearings and seals. It also has tracks but they need work. The power plant is out of the unit and together. The transmission has been rebuilt.
I have some Ideas about making a very good unit but I do not know what I should pay a basket cases. Can any one tell me how much they would pay for what some may call junk.
Thank you Ted

Buy by the pound. Really it depends on your mechanical ability to repair ,restore, or make a subsitute part. I have a full welding and machine shop so I can build one from scratch but if you only have a drill and a hammer I would suggest one that only needs a tuneup. Finding replacement parts or subsitutes takes way more time and may be a show stopper if you don't know sources. Never spend more than you could sell it for if you can't repait it.
