RJ-58 question

Recommended Posts

Doorvip

Can someone who is familiar with the RJ-58 tell me if this hood has been chopped near the steering wheel, it looks it to me? Also if this looks like a good project in your opinion. I notice the whole implement lift is missing too, I see 150 bucks here?

Thanks, Rob

Yes, the hood is chopped up. It's still an RJ-58 so it has some potential.

I also think so corn. I might Be a buyer at 150 bucks, it's missing a lot and chopped up like you said.

It has potential,but I agree it is too much to be asking for it. It needs a hood,gas tank,motor and maybe more. It would make a really good project though. ~Jake

      The RJ58 was the big hit for spectators this year at my local festivals here in Carroll County OH. 
      the children loved getting their pictures sitting on it, then they discovered the bicycle horn under the steering wheel. It’s always a joy even in parades. Just love showing off part of my collection every year and hearing all the stories from those that had WH in their lives at one time. Can hardly wait to get to retirement so I can get some of my other models back to their glory in working order and be able to attend other shows/festivals throughout the year. My fellow tractor enthusiasts always know when a spectacular starts asking about WH, they point in my direction. I study up on the history of the different models and always intrigue those that didn’t know much about how WH came to be. This website is one place that has helped me learn so much about the WH history and I thank you for sharing your knowledge that I am able to pass on to keep WH alive and well.

      Wheel Horse RJ-58 with RMR-32 deck and a slot hitch cultivator for sale. I got this cleaned up, motor swapped from a giant old 3hp Briggs (got rid of the spacers the previous owner had under the hood) and rebuilt the mower deck with new bearings, bearing blocks and gear covers, found two sets of NOS blade tips, mowed the yard five or six times and it's ready to go to a new home. Found that the model/serial were hand-stamped on the frame alongside the tag. Weld-repaired some cracks on the RMR-32 and the slot hitch. I don't have the room or time to do a proper restoration. As it sits, it's a solid mowing machine that's ready to work for another 50 years.
       
      The good:
      Great running Predator 212cc, trimmed airbox and routed exhaust to work with hood
      Cleaned gas tank and new gas line/filter
      New shifter boot
      New belts
      Fresh grease in all fittings
      Flushed and fresh gear lube in transmission
      New bearings in RMR-32 spindles
      New bearing blocks for RMR-32 driveshaft
      Solid deck, very few if any rust spots
      NOS hi-lift blade tips less than a season old
      Additional set of NOS hi-lift blade tips
      Smooth-shifting transmission
      Original BFGoodrich/Firestone tires
      Tag/serial number still attached to frame
      Cultivator has been freed up and adjusts properly
       
       
      The not good:
      Weld-repaired front wheels
      Rear tire inner sidewalls starting to peel
      Hood has a few extra holes cut in
      No belt guards
      Right rear hub had a bolt driven into the key slot and stripped the threads - I removed it and cleaned up the keyslot, added another threaded hole and put a set screw and fresh key in. The hub has been shimmed on the shaft with brass stock to take up some slack left by the old bolt and shaft wallowing it out slightly.
