Jake Kuhn 1,547 #1 Posted September 29, 2014 Picked this one up a couple weeks ago at mentone from Brrly. Finally got it complete and running today. First tore it apart and power washed everything. Went through the drive system, and had to change some gaskets on the engine, and rebuild the carb. Runs pretty good now. In pretty decent original shape. Plan to leave this one as is, just straighten out the hood a little more and possibly some new decals.Still needs a few little things here and there, but is ready to take to Scotts Meet and greet this weekend. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #7 Posted September 29, 2014 Jake. You allways corral some real nice tractors. Decals is all I would do to. Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,041 #8 Posted September 29, 2014 Very nice 57 !! I would paint the wheels and tires and call it done. I saw Craig's suburban at the Kent show and he had a very nice finish on his hood. Maybe he will chime in and share his secret.... (no oil either) !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Keys 57 #20 Posted October 1, 2014 That's a 1957 rj35. One of my all time favorites. Definitely on my list. Beautiful original machine. New decals, paint the rims, ad black the tires and I would call it perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
