First time mowing with an RJ58!

[fireman 1,022]

I had let my grass grow long so it wouldn't burn. I figured it would be too much for the push mower so decided to try the RJ as that's the only tractor I have a mower deck for. I was pleasantly surprised at the power of the 4hp Kohler engine. The grass was about 7 inches tall and my yard has a large slope to it. I'm sure the blades weren't the sharpest but it cut it anyway. Now I know why Toro discontinued the Wheel Horse product line.

52 years old and it still works great

That is awesome Jeff! If I could find a decent mower deck for one of my RJ's I'd use it weekly to mow my grass. :thumbs:

That is very cool Jeff!!! Wish you were close Ken I could hook you up! Jeff the blades on that deck is just the replacement ends right? Seems like it would be easy to duplicate...

Thanks for the pics!!! :thumbs:

Just another testamonial to the days when people built machines to last and not to be "disposable" and were not stamped Made in ja-pan or even worse china

i mow the lawn twice a week with any of my round hoods. i drop the deck and alternate tractors every time. i get more looks from the neighbors and the yard has never looked better. used a cub every once and a while to mow but these old horses blow that thing out of the water. great machines :thumbs:
