I have had my mower for a couple of years, but I'm hoping to figure out what year so I can be sure I get the right parts.
The mower I bought was well "loved" by it's previous owner. One of the things they did was regular washings, which has made the serial number on the foil sticker completely illegible, so I can't just check the serial number or model to date the mower. Is there any place that documents the changes between model years that will allow me to narrow the date to a smaller range?
Things I know
It came with a Honda Engine. It is currently on a replacement motor, but it is a Honda replacing the earlier Honda.
The deck is an XR-7. I believe it is a 60" but haven't specifically measured it.
It has Hustler Z stickers on the front of the mower. No mention of "Super". Was there ever just a Z model that wasn't a Super Z?
I have multiple upgrades I would like to look at if I can confirm a make and model. Are there any aspects of the mower that will help date it beyond the ones above? I saw a super Z listed in another thread with a Kawasaki Engine and listed as a 2009, so I believe I mine is older than that. The mower is an absolute tank and I expect it will last me the rest of my life with a bit of maintenance. I just want to do right by her.
