Kelly 1,028 #1 Posted September 28, 2008 I picked this up last weekend, Guy called me wanting to know if I'd like to buy a old WH, well of corse I said, so off to look at it, It's a RJ 58-59 the tag is there but not readable, the trans is froze up, or at least the brake shaft is now, it looks like some one tore it apart to rebuild the tractor and never put any oil in the trans it was dry no signs of oil, so I filled it up with left over anything I had laying around, about 2 quarts in all, I'll let it set that way for now, I don't have time to do much more to it, but it has 4 brand new tire's still has the **** on them, the hood is very fixable, even has fenders and the tool box has almost no pits in the bottom the steering wheel slides right off and is in good shape no cracks, the frame has been hacked up but I have another frame, even came with the drive belt guard the deck turns very smoothly, and not too bad of shape, He asked me what it's worth to me, I offered $75 figured there was more than that in parts, he said no, that was to much and he'd only take $50 got to like them deals.

Kelly 1,028 #11 Posted September 29, 2008 Ya I seen one tire is backwards, I just picked up a K91 at the junk yard a week or so ago, has compression, gas was cheap only about 5 miles from the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
