stevebo-(Moderator) 8,041 #8 Posted August 6, 2011 That is an RJ35 however it has had some "modifications" oer the years. Pulley system is wrong and the hitch in the back is not suppose to be welded to the round part of the frame. Wrong steering wheel, missing belt guard, the front rims have been replaced with newer ones, exhaust stack is not correct. I cannot confirm if the engine is correct Either way it is a 35 :woohoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #9 Posted August 6, 2011 I'd say the engine is a mid to late 50's B&S model 6 (guessing) and is definitely incorrect. The stamped frame (vs. channel iron) dates the chassis from (potentially) very late 1955 to early/mid 1956. (but don't take that to the bank either ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckrancher 2,675 #12 Posted August 11, 2011 good lookin tractor,so did the rjs not have a gear shifter,was it basically one speed other than the throttle control? only pre 1958 (rj35/25) they used a variable belt drive but this ones missing the vari-drive pulley you changed speed by moving the long lever on the side in to a different hole the vari drive uses two belts and by changing the hole that the lever is in one side of the vari-drive pulley will get a larger dia. and the other side will be a smaller dia. thus Changing the tractor speed. To reverse you pull the lever all the way back to engage a fiction disk off the motor pulley to the vari drive pulley Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
