Sparky-(Admin) 23,158 #2 Posted October 21, 2015 Welcome Brian. Your best bet would be to post a wanted ad in the classifieds here, maybe give an idea of how far your willing to travel to pick up a machine. The RJ's are small and easily fit on a pallet and can be shipped inexpensively by Fastenal from store to store (hopefully you have one close by) if you find one far away and the seller is willing to strap it to a pallet and drop it off at a shipper.Good luck!Mike......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 28,432 #6 Posted October 30, 2015 Welcome!In addition to the above suggestion, keep checking the posts in other threads...You might get clues to who is an RJ nut and if they might be looking to sell...There's also that site that starts with a c, ends with a t, and rhymes with Gregslist.All the best in your search!

harvesttime16 45 #7 Posted October 31, 2015 Vedette,Here is one on C-list in Massachusettes6mtgt-5252669178@sale.craigslist.orgThis is a 1958 wheel horse RJ-58. I restored this 10 years ago and sold it. It had new tires, chrome hubcaps and a nice rebuilt Kohler K91 engine. I just got it back and the guy only used it a few times. I rebuilt the carb, added new fuel line and filters and changed the oil. It starts first pull and runs great. Will sell for $650 without the chrome hub caps and $750.00 with them.If it doesn't sell i will consider parting it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian01 481 #10 Posted October 31, 2015 I'm "hoping" that's just a catch phrase to get it to sell. Because parting it out would beTupid! If he's gonna part it out, Id be interested in the frame, hood, transmission, wheels n tires, engine, etc ...LOL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 28,432 #11 Posted October 31, 2015 If he was in Michigan, I'd take all the parts and let him keep the hub caps... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian01 481 #16 Posted October 31, 2015 Simple steps....to post pics here, when you open the box to type to reply, at the bottom of this box there is a paperclip and says "click to choose files" you'll click on it and find whenever you have your pictures and wal-ah.And as far as profile pic or avatar, open your profile, to the left of your screen name you'll see a tiny box, click on it and find your pic you want .
