953 nut 51,721 #2 Posted February 13, 2015 Could be a '58 or '59, but it is a nice one regardless! Do you have the rest of the sickle bar ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,547 #3 Posted February 13, 2015 nice find, yep its a rj58. Could be a 59 going off the several sector lift selector, but also has the smaller style rj seat so hard to say from these pictures. next to the shifter on the trans there should be a casting date which could tell you the year.

Lane Ranger 10,495 #6 Posted February 13, 2015 That's the 1960/61 frame for the snowplow used on Suburban Wheel Horse tractors on that RJ -not a sickle bar/CBR-32 front cutter bar. This is what the snowplow looks like on this RJ: This is what front cutter bar for an RJ looks like: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,937 #9 Posted February 13, 2015 The sun is in my eyes and where's the snow? Nice RJ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motor12 367 #10 Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys, That frame on the front is indeed for a snow plow and I have the plow. It's not going to be used by me, we never get any snow in this part of Texas. For now I'm going with an RJ 58 unless I find out differently .

wallfish 15,926 #11 Posted February 14, 2015 That is indeed a suburban blade with the factory RJ conversion mounting bracket. Don't forget that blade can be used to push dirt and gravel too, not just snow. You are safe going with RJ-58 since the 59 is pretty much the exact same tractor. Nice score!
