Hustler Walkbehind production dates?

[rob7233]

Hi, I was wondering.....

1) When did Hustler introduce the Hydro Walk-behind and how long was it in production?

2) How was it different than the Super Walk-behind and what was the production period on those. Are either of these still available?

3) When was the walk-behind lineup re-badged as the TrimStar series.

4) What was the production period for the ShortCuts and when was the last year they were produced with the footpads so you could stand?

BTW: I currently have a later 60"SD/23Hp Kaw(no pads) in very good shape but I was wondering how I can determine the model year/date of production etc. It's a Cool mower and a fun to mow with too !!

1) 1999 and we offered them until 2005 when the firs series of the TrimStar came out.
2) The Super Walk's were introduced in 2003 and offered till 2005 also, they had 23 or 25 hp Kaw's and larger tires and a dual exhaust.
3) 2005
4) The Shortcut went into production in 97 and were offered till 2001, the footpads were removed in the 99 model series.

If you can post or email me the serial # of the unit I can tell you when it was made.
