TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #2 Posted March 11, 2013 It's an RJ-58 or 59. True value is hard to declare - but it must be too much money or it would have already been bought by someone in the CT crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #3 Posted March 11, 2013 Looks like a rj59. If it has the correct motor and you can get it for 230, go get it! The belt guard alone is selling for about that. I would say if it has the correct kohler or clinton on it it would be worth 3-600 Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsholler 54 #7 Posted March 11, 2013 not sure how much risk you can take on, but I have had really good luck with Uship for moving stuff around. I got the tractor I have now brought from VT to CT for less than $150.. and great service. It is always a risk of course, but if it might be a way to put a few more dollars in the restoration budget.

VinsRJ 721 #9 Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) That has been for sale for a while and I'm sure that all of the CT and MA guys have contacted the seller at one time or another... as I aways have said previously, be very careful offering years of production on RJs just by pics. Just because it has a couple of parts and pieces from what looks like a 1960 year of production there is no way to tell from the pic whether its a 58 or 59. (The seat is not the correct color but, the rest of the tractor looks like original paint???) You need to look at the entire tractor and all of its parts (ex: front rims, date code on the tranny, possible serial tag, if the original engine... whats the serial number, the rear hitch, the lift arm indicator). With out the original serial tag you need to put all of this information together and measure with your thumb on the year of production. I only say this because there is this "hysteria" over RJ59's and I don't want you to purchase it on the believe that its a 59 for sure. It looks to be a nice RJ, thats what I would call it from the information I have in the pic. Edited March 12, 2013 by VinsRJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rooster 191 #10 Posted March 12, 2013 Price Price Price.... Here is how I value tractors... It's an RJ, I WANT an RJ, this looks to be a fairly well kept RJ...looks pretty sound. If it were close to me, and the guy shot me a price that didn't make my check book jump up and slap sense into me....I'd own it! Antique Tractors are worth what the buyer is willing to pay for them, or what the seller will take for them - whichever is more! He who has the money that matches his desire gets what he wants! whats with the blue seat and blade and STP sticker? Pinecone, if that price doesn't put you off the tractor...I would go get it! If that price scares you, maybe you should wait? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
