Snuck into Jersey and wrangled another one!

[Guest fireman]

I found this on Craig's List and just couldn't resist . Much better shape than my other and has the exhaust shield, fenders and belt guard. I cleaned it off after I took the pictures and the paint shines like new :banana: . The Wheel Horse Decals are almost perfect. The mower deck has almost no rust at all. The plow is also in great shape. Only draw back is the engine. But I can live with that (For Now). This spent it's entire life in a garage.

Nice RJ! But don't ya just like how guys drill all those holes in the hood?

Nothing I cant fix with my Tig welder but jeesh..... Its just a damn mystery what all these holes were used for?

I would say they are from a slid hammer but the holes would be crowned. Sweet tractor. Awesome view down the slope.

NICE! I need to add a RJ to the herd... :USA:

Nice find...and with the SPR-42 blade to boot! :banghead:

The RJ-58 looks real nice.

The mower deck is a newer 1961 model but in super shape as is the snow blade and guards. Finding a Kohler 4hp K-91 will not be so hard and once on the frame that RJ will be perfect.

Looks good!!...was fenders a standard item or an option in 1958!....my 59 has NO fenders...bet this little horse will have fun pushin' snow in a couple months.

was fenders a standard item or an option in 1958

The fenders and tool box they mount to were an option.

What's the extra metal frame that sticks out behind and below the seat? :banghead:

Well here she is after the first degreasing and wash. Just a little more cleaning and going to get her puring and just drive it around and enjoy it.

The young one is now hooked on Wheel Horse. All he wants to do is help me in the workshop on the tractors. He claimed this one for his own.

Wow! That cleaned up real nice. I like the tread design on the rears. I suppose it a set of 12" car tires right.

Just went and looked. They are Sears Super Guard X.S.T. M+S (mud+snow). They are in good shape with no dryrot or cracking. They will stay on for a while till the restoration begins .

That looks like some type of apperatus to support the seat :D
