20 Plus year old hustler first part breaks

ok, but be easier (for me) with the rod and LH die

Buy 316 SS round stock, then do not worry about corrosion

The ease which you cut thru the part would suggest the part was tempered

It cuts at the same amount as the rod from lowes. In any case, if I have a problem with it then you will be correct with your assumptions

Maybe if this one doesn't last

Made it a tad longer (mistake) so had to cut it down that tad.
Installed, adjusted and no issues. Time will tell if any develop

Looks good

Did find out that a brand new die cuts a whole lot easier then a 40 year old one , but the 40 year old one still did a good job
