jdog_kustoms 82 #1 Posted August 28, 2011 found this on craigslist with no pics but she said the motor is between your legs and she can push it around and pull the motor over i said id take it and she said she thought it was a wheel horse as it had a wheel horse sticker on one side of the hood i get there and everything works as it should including the rear lift hitch so i said id take it find out its a rj58 with the factor model sticker on it i get it home replace the throttle cable and replace one front tire and rim and clean the carb add some gas and its alive now it has my redneck engineering on the belt so i can drive it and it smokes a little and the engin surges asume thios is carb but i am curous what all i have that is not origonal i know the gas tank isnt and atleast the air cleaner it has a carter caberator on a kohler k91 and i beleive iot has the wrong seat here are some pics and one pic has my son and as you can see all he does is smile when he sees it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buckrancher 2,678 #3 Posted August 28, 2011 looks pretty good Jordon yes the seat is wrong and I have the right one if you would like to trade the square one for it kohler k91's did find there way into RJ's I have one .The carter carb is right the upside down oil bath air cleaner is correct for a kohler K90 but I believe the round paper air filter setup was on the K91's (same as the K161 7hp motors) also the drive belt setup is incorrect (3 pulleys not four) ca'nt say about the gas tank but the cap is wrong and is the on off switch under the steering wheel muffler is also piped too short and wrong style missing both drive belt guard and muffler pipe heat shield Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calebintn 1 #4 Posted August 29, 2011 I think the little guy in the picture has claimed the RJ, you gotta keep it now. Great find Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse'n Around 22 #5 Posted August 29, 2011 I saw that listed as well. It looks like it would be a good one to fix up. Awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikesRJ 552 #7 Posted August 29, 2011 Nope, that one is certainly NOT a "keeper". That one there is a "shipper". As in, "Ship it to my house!" Nice score. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinsRJ 721 #10 Posted August 30, 2011 Nice looking RJ and a good start for a resto! Having the original serial tag is a big plus IMO..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 552 #11 Posted August 30, 2011 Jordon, Can you read the serial number on the tag? If so, post the number. Also see what code is cast into the transmission housing next to where the shifter shaft enters the transmission. Post that as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
