5 pointsI remember where I was and the feeling of dismay that such an attack could happen in the land of the free. I will spare you the details of the long day that followed at work but it is etched in my memory. The magnitude of this single coordinated attack on the United States of America makes it stand out but if we are not paying attention to the quantitative impact of the crime, creeping socialism, deteriorating morals, and injustice that is so pervasive throughout our society we are experiencing another 9-11 attack every month, it is just spread out over the entire country. We have an election coming up in a few weeks. I hope everyone will get to know the candidates and choose wisely. Local school board members are the key to our future as a free society, get to know their views on a variety of subjects. Local justice officials are also a key component of protecting our freedom. Get to know their stance on dealing with crime.

2 pointsI walk around with my head towards the ground in the back barn… it’s like a magic parts shed most times. We had a different project lined up with a K1500, and we planned on a 5 speed swap. We have the flywheel, clutch, pedal assembly, driveshaft, crossmember, all that. But it was for a K1500. The bolt up stuff underneath is one thing. The under dash stuff is another.

2 pointsIt should treat you fine. I have a neighbor who is a cub guy. Has a 1050 and a 1650. Both need major work. I've tried to get him to take one of my Wheel Horse's, but the Cubs are easier for him to get on and off of.

1 pointAdded a receiver hitch to the rear of my RJ-59 to attach a garbage can hauler. I have a very steep driveway and at 66 it is difficult to get the heavy trash cans to the curb. Worked better than expected and I still get joy out of driving my grandfather's tractor he purchased new. BTW this is how I learned to drive!

1 pointWould be hard for me to swap the 16 out for the 12, they are both great engines but there is just sumin about them 16's, torquey if that's a word. Understand though if someone wants to keep there mochine original as possible. The 12's is a lot more fuel friendly than the 16's.

1 pointHi! I'm looking to see if i can get some help with my grandfather’s RJ-58 Serial # 21259. The tractor has a Kohler K91 engine on it. I know this tractor has the original plow as well. I’m just looking to see what I can do to make the tractor last and keep it in good condition. I don’t know much about it.

1 pointIf this thing treats me good i just might lol. Full disclosure ive always kinda been a cub cadet guy. ...but it seems anymore any pre MTD ones people think are worth gold. I actually joined this forum a few years ago and bought an engine off a member for my old 78 yardman lol

1 pointHello Everyone, I redid my procedure and maybe being tired last night and with my eyesight not being what it once was everything turned out fine. Thanks for all your input. I did see those pushrods mentioned by Paul on EBAY if anyone ever needs them. Price points are all over the place. I am getting a little bit closer to remounting the engine on the frame. I redid the rings, re-honed the cylinders, cleaned the valves, and brought them up to standard clearances. I am hoping she will start up in a couple of weeks. Regards, Bob

1 pointIMO, once it's running those settings have no value. Find the center between rich and lean and then do final adjustments for acceleration and under load. When those are optimal or just a bit rich, set the idle speed and high RPM.

1 pointHoodstand wire wheeled and sanded. + Hoodstand cracks welded up. I have never had a Wheel Horse yet that was not cracked there. Hole drilled for foot control auto center spring to hook into. Hole is 11/64" and is 1.75 inches from right side and down .25 inches. Tires masked ready for wheels to be painted.

1 pointKilling time to go to the last tractor show so finished up a Onan I got from @Blasterdad at Pullstart's plow day. Should have left the heat shield off 'till after retorque heads run. I have high hopes for this being a decent shelf motor for the 520s. Hope you like the color changes. Just something different.

1 pointGetting ready to mount tires. I did this yesterday but the internet went down due to heavy rain so I could not post pics. Rears are Carlisle turfmasters that I got a great deal on last winter (I don't remember who from). This is the tool I use for all of my Lawn and garden tractor tire mounting and demounting. Rear wheel mounted on tool. New TR413 valve stem ready to be installed. Tool used to pull valve stem into position after giving it a light lube with dish soap. Valve stem installed. Tire bead and outer edge of wheel was lubed with dish soap then the tire was pushed on. These tires seem just slightly small so it is quite a push to get it on. Next step is to put a couple of clamps on the tire to reduce it's width so it is held down into the smaller diameter portion of the wheel for the tire installation to go easier. The tire bead, top edge of the wheel, and the tire installation tool are lubed with dish soap and the tire is popped into place. Tires aired up to 20 PSI to fully seat onto the beads Tires sprayed with Snoop to check for leaks. None found. Front wheel sat on tool. Front wheel clamped into place then the tire was lubed and popped into place. Again, harder than it sounds but it went on. Tube installed and the valve stem tool is screwed on so I don't accidentally knock it down installing the tire. Front tire installed using the same technique as for the rear with the clamps and lube (I know that sounds bad). All four assemblies taken outside and washed to clean up the tires and get rid of any dish soap.

1 point1828–1835 (Models): Ányos Jedlik and Sibrandus Stratingh built small-scale electric model cars using primitive, non-rechargeable batteries. 1832–1839 (First Carriage): Scottish chemist Robert Anderson built a crude electric carriage, known as the first self-powered electric vehicle concept, though it lacked rechargeable cells. 1881 (First Passenger EV): Gustave Trouvé fitted a rechargeable lead-acid battery and a small electric motor to a tricycle, successfully driving it in Paris. 1884 (First Production Car): British inventor Thomas Parker built what is widely considered the first practical, mass-produced four-wheel electric vehicle. 1975 (Wheel Horse goes Electric): with the introduction of the C-185, B-145, A-60, and A-65. Overview of the Bersey Cab Nickname: People called them "hummingbirds" because of the quiet buzzing sound they made and their yellow and black colors. Designer: Engineer Walter Bersey created the vehicles for the London Electrical Cab Company. Fleet size: The company ran up to 75 cabs on the streets at its peak. Speed and range: They reached a top speed of 12 mph (19 km/h) and traveled about 30 miles before needing a battery change. Rise and Fall Advantages: Passengers liked them because they produced no smoke, made very little noise, and did not scare horses. Problems: The heavy lead-acid batteries weighed down the cars. This heavy weight ruined the solid rubber tires and shook the glass battery cells apart on bumpy roads. Closure: High repair costs and frequent breakdowns made the business lose money. The company failed, and the fleet was pulled from service by August 1899. Concurrently in the United States, New York City saw the launch of its own battery-powered electric taxi fleet, the Electrobats, earlier in March 1897

1 pointHave used heim joints for decades. Have some of various sizes in a drawer. Running low on them so I use them judiciously. Also have various types and sizes of the rod ends. Quick disconnect and regular. Have used the quick disconnect many times and not had a problem. They do make it easy to reset toe in, especially if one end of tie rod is not adjustable. Plus they were free. Former place of employment scrapped them as overstock since no one was buying replacements. The mechanically minded employees snatched them right up. If they lasted forever on a lift truck , they will do well on a garden tractor.

1 pointYes it was built in 1959 and some of those later 59s came with that type of solid seat. They were all badged RJ-58 so if it still has the factory sticker it would read RJ-58

1 point@fehrrj58 As you can see you have lots help here already. Just take your time with your family time pice. We have a great source of manuals here and other info. I would take advantage of this material. And if you can become a supporter for $20 a year this helps post lots of pictures to help with your restoration or problems with the tractor. In the old days, the saying was a picture worth 1000 words. Good luck whatever you do to the tractor.

1 pointMost likely sediment bowl is leaking. Wipe any gas away and use a bright flash light to try and pinpoint the leak. Once you find it we'll suggest repair/eplace as required and replace the fuel line.
