My First wheelhorse

[Camarokid 26]

Hello red square new member here, I would like to share my very first tractor with you all. A 1958 rj58 that I picked up the other day. This past Friday I left work a half hour early to make it to the bank to only travel 10 mins down the road from my job to purchase a rj. So I took it home and enjoyed my weekend staring at it! Can't play yet with it... Have some searching and work to do XD

I think I've come down with a serious case of horse fever.  My son and I currently have 4 and I'm always trolling for the next good deal!  By the way, you couldn't have come to a better place for your new sickness

Just starting out so I paid 5 for it which I thought was a fair price for the condition it was in and location and grabbed wheel weights for 75? What's your thoughts any insight would be appreciated

I think that's a remarkable price.  I'm not the judge that other are.  You let these guys you only paid $5 for that rj and they will dropping in their tracks.  I think you got a great deal. And by the way.  TO.

haha I thought so. Still a very nice deal though! Looks like it only needs the belt guard and heat shield

Know where I could find some I'm sure they are hard to come by also need an exhaust too

It bolts right over the exhaust pipe. You can see the hole right where the muffler would go, above the engine pulley to the right
