qd-16 14 #1 Posted March 4, 2012 Hello all, just picked this up today and wanted to show it off. Naturally the I.D. tag is missing and the engine is not original. Any ideas if it's a 58 or 59?? .....Thanks for any info! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,059 #2 Posted March 4, 2012 Not sure but I am really liking those rear tires.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,059 #3 Posted March 4, 2012 The rear fenders look to be off a front engine round hood like 702 etc. the foot pedal has been modified but overall it is a really clean tractor-sweet find! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jay in nc 209 #4 Posted March 4, 2012 it looks just like mine , which also has no serial # but the transmission has date code of may 1959 , hence rj-59 the date code is on top of trany, under the tool box & left of the seat spring. hope this helps jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qd-16 14 #5 Posted March 4, 2012 Tires are Firestone's....they do look unique! Thanks for the trany date code Jay, i will check that out. For $150 I couldn't say no! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,398 #6 Posted March 4, 2012 great looking tractor ,not sure which it is 58/59 , could do with the original RJ fenders & tools box to look right. but still a good find & the hood looks to be in good shape. do you intend to restore it or leave as is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowtiebutler956 649 #8 Posted March 4, 2012 Well I can't help you with what model it is like some of the experts here can, but I can say I would have given $150 for it in a heartbeat! Very nice, and those are definitely unique tires it has on the back. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinsRJ 721 #16 Posted March 5, 2012 Very nice score for a $150! With a date code of Jan 1959 it was most likely tagged as a RJ58. The "RJ58" model ran into 1959. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
