Help identify this Horse

Recommended Posts

Upper Canada

Hey Redsquare. I need help identifying this horse. I may go rescue it as it is destined for the scrap yard if it doesn't sell by end of November. It is hacked up but I still see beauty in it.

Interesting... the hood with ho fuel cap cutout would indicate early RJ, but the 3 piece trans would be later. Could possibly be one that was converted with the transmission kit?  @evanloock input?

 

Please save it regardless!!

I was thinking early rj as well by the looks of front axle.  The owner did say it was modified.

It's a RJ 58, grab it ASAP, it can be saved. The engine was moved forward and it looks like the steering shaft was moved back 

Its the wrong engine too

I have already sent message to owner. Now if only I could get out of work early. :think:  

 

Maybe i can tell my boss I am a horse doctor as a hobby and there is a horse I need to go save.

The centrifugal clutch would make for an interesting ride.

:text-yeahthat:... save that :wh: Horse of course ! I agree no RJ should meet its demise in a metal shredder :o .

 

Even if you don't know what it is , why would you scrap it :scratchead:...people these days are just (to many words to use here) !

I am waiting on hearing back from owner. I am set to go get it. It also comes with a IH cadet 60 lawn mower too. Price is right for the pair.

Someone else had contacted the owner before me and they bought it. At least it isn't going to scrap, although I would have like to owned it. Oh well back on the hunt for another  :wh:

When I enlarged the pic there appeared to be a patch over the hole for the tank filler neck.  A RJ-25 would have a hood without the Wheel-Horse embossed in the nose.  Looks to be a RJ-58 someone got "creative" with.

Upper Canada et all,

 

Went looking for a pic of a restored rj '58 on Red Square to show my wife the tractor I just bought.

It's the one at the top of this post.

Picking it up this week and will get proper picks posted.

Because the hood has been cut away on both sides and it's been modified in other ways as well I'm thinking tear it down

and make it all shiny and new.  PO has sent me some more pics - looks like it has a Briggs engine in it as well.

 

Cheers

 

UC I feel your pain - I've missed out on so many this year it's making me crazy. At least 5.

So you're the evil person who beat me to it. Just kidding!  I am glad it is not going to scrap. Also nice to see another Canuck on the forum.
