    The term was "SOD BUSTER" and meant "farmer".  In the urban dictionary of today, "sidebuster" means "busybody".

    I don't have the answer but I know the term is sidebuster. On the Rifleman TV show Lucas was  always referred  to as a sidebuster. He didn't have to do anything and it wasn't a referral to his being a rancher. Someone would look at him without knowing anything about him and call him a sidebuster. I don't know what that means or why they would choose that description of him.

    I think a sidebuster is like a sidekick,or a friend..>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    that's what I thought

    maybe it meant a man's homey ; or maybe it meant a man who was bustin' broncs .

    I believe a sidebuster is someone who interferes in other people's matters. Matters that don't really concern him or her. Someone that buts in other people's business. 

    Do you not mean sod buster=Farmer

    It is not sidebuster it is sod buster ...... a farmer.......a man without cattle is just a regular old sod buster......The rifleman S3 E20 Wyoming Story part 1


    Lucas Mccain didn't like being called a sod buster.


    Sidebuster........a man with a rifle at his side that will bust you........Sidebuster.
