Another one saved from the landfill...

Recommended Posts

Literally, a friend of mine who works at a landfill where I used to work called me. He said an old wheelhorse tractor came in a dumpster.

So, last week I went to pick it up. I walk into the shop and there sits a RJ58!! It was rough, but in restorable condition. The worse part was that someone cut the back of the hood off to put an 8hp Briggs on it. I was lucky enough to find a real nice one on eBay. So, another project begins....

Very nice save it's always good to keep them out of the landfill/scrap yards, I have been trying to rescue a C120 from a local scrap yard but he wants $150 for a tractor with no wheels/tires, seat, steering wheel gone and its been pushed around and beat up by the payloader I can't get him to come down a penny I offered $100 which is about triple what he has into it.

The correct answer to that question would violate the rules of decency and good taste we pride ourselves on here at Red Square! Let's just say a close approximation would the the southbound end of a northbound [four legged] horse!

He's such a "Deere", a dumb "Deere." :-(
