Jake Kuhn 1,579 #2 Posted July 7, 2014 That is a rj35, and appears to be a 1957, but can't tell you for sure from just that one picture. Any others? That is a very good find, the rj35's are getting tougher and tougher to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,196 #9 Posted July 7, 2014 By any chance is the hood fiberglass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,579 #11 Posted July 7, 2014 I'd say 57 as it has the 4 bolt hood and the new style steering wheel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pondtet1 2 #12 Posted July 7, 2014 any idea if that might be the original motor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,579 #13 Posted July 7, 2014 That is not the original engine. It would of had a kohler k90 or a clinton 1200. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #14 Posted July 8, 2014 Couple of things here... 1) Is the rear hitch still in place, if so, could you post a pic...we need to see more of the tractor prior to dating it. 2) The original motor can be narrowed down by where the oil drain hole is drilled in the frame... its difficult to see in your pic where the hole has been drilled.... drilled in the center it was most likely a Kohler K90... offset drilled from the center of the frame... it could have been either a Clinton 1200 or A1200 3) Fiberglass hoods would be a 55 model only and of that only maybe a 100 tractor received them... not to mention no one has ever seen one in the flesh... and thats from the RJ Gods themselves. 4) Keep in mind that parts are swip swapped over the years so just because you have a part doesn't mean its original... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
