trettig 0 #1 Posted December 10, 2010 Will the parts from this newer Wheel Horse (in photo) fit an RJ 58. Parts I hope to fit.... -Steering Wheel -Front rims and tires -Tool box and fenders -Gas Tank What I am asking is... 1) will they fit 2) are they the same part # (to keep it as original as possible) Attached Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clintonnut 126 #2 Posted December 10, 2010 Wheels and steering wheel "fit" but if you are planning to part out that tractor i wouldnt its too nice. If its a good price it would be a nice addition to your collection. Looks complete with rare starter/generator belt guard and a hydraulic setup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hcminis 1,532 #3 Posted December 10, 2010 Agree with Charlie. Looks like Brookfield, MA according to profile Charlie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trettig 0 #4 Posted December 10, 2010 what model is it? Lawn Ranger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy w h 4 #5 Posted December 10, 2010 Looks like a 701 with a HY-2 to me Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trettig 0 #6 Posted December 10, 2010 will the tool box and gas tank fit and be the correct part number as the RJ58. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,940 #7 Posted December 10, 2010 Nope, The tank is completely different. Fenders will fit but not period correct for the RJ I have a tank but it will need to be sealed and a steering wheel but it would also need to be restored. If you are in Brookfield then you are not to far away if you want to come and take a look at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trettig 0 #8 Posted December 10, 2010 John, Thanks. I would like to take a look, I will email you. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #9 Posted December 10, 2010 That 701 in the picture looks to be a nice fine, it would be a shame to part it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbirdman 7 #10 Posted December 11, 2010 yeah and it even looks like it has the dash board! As I learned from you guys here the seat has the right shape and might be correct for the 701 (dont know about that backrest though) but not the for the RJ. I think everyone is correct, you have a gem there if you don't know it! ED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trettig 0 #11 Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks. You are correct. I am new to wheel horse tractors. I didn't know this is a gem of a tractor. Unfortunatly another tractor is not what I should get right now. I am sure you all have been in a similar situation. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #12 Posted December 11, 2010 Well in my opinion, I would get rid of the RJ and get the 701, but that is me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 408 #13 Posted December 11, 2010 And IIRC, that tractor was CHEAP, like $150?? Thought bout snaggin' that but little too far to justify a road trip to the wife.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy w h 4 #14 Posted December 11, 2010 So is this 701 for sale ?? Indy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbirdman 7 #15 Posted December 11, 2010 Well in my opinion, I would get rid of the RJ and get the 701, but that is me. I am fortunate enough to have snagged both myself. They make great companions and show the progression of Cecil's handiwork very well. Don't forget, these were hands-on tractors before 'corporate' started designing them. GL..............keep em both ED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
