Early '58 frame?

[AMC RULES 37,196]

There's no way this frame left Cecil's hands looking like this...

I'm thinking this motor mount had to have been modified by a PO, correct?

Looks like something one of my neighbors could have done. Definitely not the way it left the factory.

PO hack job.......same with the brake side trans plate on the RJ trans you posted pics of earlier.

It was the "Adjust-o-Matic option.

I did see that, only not until I had already stripped the opposite side down to bare metal...

Considering that's it's only fault, I decided to just accept it for what it is...at least for the time being. 

It's not the trans that's gonna stay on this tractor anyway.

Somebody didn't have the correct size belt and made it adjustable.

The shame is that it's a 4 digit serial # tag on there but it's nothing a few welds and some grinding can't fix.

Oh yeah...it's a given, that's about to happen.

OK, so...this other RJ frame I'm working on has me scratching my head too. 

Curious as to what these four holes in the front of it are for...

wondering, was the earlier gas tank stands a bolt on deal?

Fancy meeting you here neighbor!    J/K! I would NEVER!

Craig, you wire brushing all that stuff?  There is NO amount of beer or any other substance that could give me the patience for that!  You need to get yerself a 'soda blaster' setup!

 

I still want that Barracuda!

no clue on the holes in the front but great work are you wire wheeling all that?

[AMC RULES 37,196]

For one hour, with a grinder...I wire wheeled a trans and frame yesterday.

Is this hard work?
