WH1618speed 542 #1 Posted August 30 Hey all. I recently acquired a 1957 RJ-35 with a Briggs Model 8 engine. I am trying to decipher if it is correct or not. I know the 57s came with Clintons and Kohlers, but I thought only the RJ 25 had the Briggs Model 8. The engine has a 5/8" output shaft and has the correct pulley with the reverse disc. Just confused as to why it has a Briggs. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,625 #2 Posted August 31 An RJ-25 would be a bonafide hen's tooth. Never saw one and don't know anyone that has one. That's an incredible find if it is from one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eriks Red horse herd 122 #3 Posted August 31 Are you sure you have a 57? The Rj 25 was still being made in 56. Do you have a pick of your tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here are some pics of the tractor. It has a 57 hood and steering wheel. The belt guard is clearly homemade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
