Maroon RJ58

Recommended Posts

Hi I am a first time Wheel Horse owner. It has the front plow and the AC-6 cultivator attachments. My guess is that it was the recipient of a DIY restoration in the late 1990's but not certain, based on the darker red, B&S engine and newer tires. Runs and drives perfect, everything works awesome.

I need a trailer for it if anyone wants the cultivator.

:text-welcomeconfetti:. Nice horse!!!  Looks like it might have a seat off of something else.  Does it have a stick supporting it in back?  Well worth $400.  Looks to be a 58 or 59 - someone who knows more than me will chime in soon.  Would love to have the cultivator, but you're just a little too far away.  Congrats - you'll love it!!!

Obviously, I am not an expert but I think its orginal...just tired or the prior owner was country fed. There is a pipe supporting it from the bottom. I am always internet horse trading, you will never know what I can fit into a Priority Flate Rate box ;) . A trailer would be a tuff move though, I think I will just keep an eye on the local ads and hopefully find something with the slot hitch and make it work. 

Can anyone tell me what the right side clutch pedal was used for? Currently it is floppy, not hooked onto anything. My guess was a mower deck?

I think it is to engage the PTO, for decks, and anything else driven by the engine

That pedal is used to release the index pin in the dozer blade so you can swivel it from the seat. A rope is draped over the hood and attached to the top corners of the blade so you can pull it after releasing the pin. "Old School"

Pedal connects to the pin with a small chain.

Use a piece of 1/2" thick flat steel about 8 inches long with two 1/2" holes, one in each end to fit inside the slot hitch. One hole gets pinned into the hitch and the other is used to attach the trailer.

I will get a picture of it for you guys that are curious. The weird part is that there isnt a different color paint under it where it is slightly torn. Could the maroon be original?

Remade sticker? Or is this what your tractors look like?

Looks like an original decal...

and a few signs of factory paint exposed underneath it.

I'm curious, did you ever try to try to un-crinkle the foil and see if you can get the 5th digit of that serial number?

      GMorning Gang,
             Last year I had purchased an old C175 with blown engine and all the attachments the owner had with it, including the FEL.  He gave me everything he had, or thought he had.  It was quite a pile, requiring 2 trips.  Of course, in the heat of the moment, it appeared everything was there, except belts for the most part.  He even had most of the original documentation.  Now I know what your thinking, and you'd be correct...... everything was Not there. And as we all know, it's the little things that hold up the project AND seem to cost the most money.... mot to mention the heartache.  But, I did find an engine, got the tiller installed and working, the plow mounted, the deck running.  Now for the Big hit..... The FEL.  I do seem to have most of it.... The bucket and arms assembly, lower frame, weight box. weights, chains and even the pump , with brackets that was still mounted to the blown engine.  The show stopper here is what is called the "Front Mount Assembly".  It mounts to the front of the frame, and the stabilizer arms to the posts attach to it.  It also has a couple of hose brackets that hold the hydraulic hoses from flopping around.  I did look around, and none appear to be available...Big Giant Surprise.  I can't imagine anyone parting it out, even IF they knew what it was.   But I pretend to be a welder and have Fab skills,
      (Sorry, that should have read Fab Equipment), So I'm sure I could Hack one together if I had measurements.  The grainy B&W photo in the manuals make it look very simple (Hahahahahaahahahah).....Anyways, is there anyone that would be willing to take a couple color shots And Measurements of their "Front Mount Assembly"?
      Or rough estimates, then I can Make up something clos, and tweak it after its installed.
       
      It appears to be the Ark style Loader, with the catalog number of 97-40FL-01.   The actual part number of the bracket is: WheelHorse 260932 (part #36 in the pix)
       
      Again, it looks like it attaches to the front of both Frame rails and loops around the front.  It attaches with 4) 3/8" bolts and would have the hoses attached to it.  It looks like it loops close to the front of the frame, meaning the mule drive would have to be removed, maybe even the Attach-A-Matic front bracket too.  And its job is to give the Brace Arms a place to attach to.
       
      Wish I had more info to give,  
      Can anybody help me out?
       
      Thanx in advance,  Have a Great weekend
      Jay

      Price reduced to $1,350. Please IM BillKC if you are interested or have questions.
       
      I have an RJ-35 and two RJ-58s for sale that need to go to a good home. Also included is a snowplow, three K91s, and two spare rear wheels w/tires mounted. I mounted a newer engine on the RJ-58 just to push snow and do some light mowing for fun. The RJ-35 runs great and fun to drive around and experience the beginning history of the Wheel Horse lineup. Someone before me started restoring one of them so it is a project. Paint is great but needs put back together. I also have a copy of Straight from the Horse’s Mouth (2000 copyright) that goes with these tractors.
       
      I don't have any way to transport these so Local pickup in Smithville, MO.
       
      Do not want to separate the lot. You can buy them all and sell what you don't want to other collectors.
       
      Thanks,
       
      Bill

      This is my 1959 rj-58 I bought from the original owner and the CBR-32 sickle bar that came with it. I replaced all the cutter knives on it.

      Ok folks first of for those who have helped me "THANK YOU", But here we go again. I inherited my father's C-145A and I have apiece of equipment I need to Identify. It does have a Wheel Horse sticker on the rear left side while facing the rear. Looking for what it is, model, what it's used for, how it's used and any manual someone might have for it. Don't think I would ever use it, might restore it back to the Wheel Horse red( provided it was red originally) which is a good question, what was it originally. Please see the photos. Does this piece look complete? I think it is a disc but I'm not sure. Thanks again!!!!!!!!
