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 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.  :text-welcomeconfetti:TO:rs:.

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

      My show tractors for October Festivals.
      RJ59, 1045, 657 w/sickle bar, 10HP and D200. Just love the attention and hearing the stories of grandpa or growing up had one. Always can see the joy these Horses bring to the spectators. Than telling them the WH history story along with Speedex story always intrigues them.
      Than of course there is always someone that needs to get one out of the way.
      Last year it was the 1045 and the PO was so excited to learn I got her running and been mowing my grass all summer. Of course I had to let him drive her around.
      This year it’s a 702 I think I getting this week. 
      So many were engrossed by the Sickle Bar never knowing such was available on garden tractors.

      1977 C160 Automatic
      By firstimpauto@gmail.com
      1977 C160 Automatic Tractor.  This has been my go to tractor for over 30 years.  Not a show tractor by any means. Could definitely use a tune up but still runs and mows.  Included are original manuals, 2 mowing decks, cab ( which needs all the windows replaced) including the doors and tire chains.  Someone modified the plow so it doesn't really fit this tractor.  I purchased a larger machine so do not have a need for this.  Hydraulic lift is not working.  One front tire has a slow leak.  Open to offers.  Thought I had this sold but it was someone trying to scam me with a phony cashiers check.  Please be careful.  This is the only site I have this listed so the scammer must be monitoring these ads.  Sold the rototiller. So adjusted the price.
