bell 11 #1 Posted November 2, 2009 I have been wanting a early RJ, but my pockets aren't deep enough. Luckily, I did some trading with Devin (fritz) today and ended up with this jewel. I now have some major research to do... I know very little about these beasts... Luckily I got a running/ driving one to start out with. :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040 #2 Posted November 2, 2009 John, You don't want that old mower, you should go get yourself a nice box store mower that you will not have to work on I figure I would be a nice guy and take that one off your hands.. Like I told Devin, it is a nice machine and the sickle bar to boot !!! :scratchead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bell 11 #3 Posted November 2, 2009 LOL... I would maybe trade it for a good "snapper".... If anyone has a belt guard that I can copy, please let me know. A detailed drawing with measurements would be just fine. I'm heading out to the shop to take it for a spin again... These things are FUN to drive (once you learn to drive them ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whfan74 2,015 #8 Posted November 3, 2009 What a keeper! Be careful with that brake! Looking forward to seeing what you plan on doing with it! :ychain: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bell 11 #9 Posted November 3, 2009 Well, right now here's the plan... I'm going to put new rubber on it, all the way around. AGs in back and tri-ribs in the front. Repaint the wheels. General touchup and fixing the minor stuff. I want to do a full restoration on it, eventually... but I'll be happy to just have it in good working order until I can tear it down for a proper resto.
