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

      89 400 series 25A fuse blowing
      By WheelPuke
      I have my 25A fuse blowing every time I put a new one in the slot. The old one was burnt up when I got the tractor put this year. It sat for a year with a dead battery. I stopped using it as much because the transmission is clattering pretty bad when taking off on second or higher. I had to replace the clutch belt a few years ago and couldn't get an OEM. Not sure what is the problem there that's another issue though.
       
      I have checked the wiring and patched the worn spots where it could be grounding out. The fuse blows as soon as there is power to the system with the ignition off. I'm at a loss of what to check for at this point. Any input from someone who has had this issue would be appreciated. I'm not sure what these units are in the photos but do not know how to test them for a failure. They are directly in loop with the battery and the ignition loom looks to run into that 25A fuse.

      ID Tag
      By wh315-8
      This is a tag on a 1970 Raider 10 from someone on a FB group. Never seen one that had USED on it, it is Model 1-6041 U
                Serial  342 USED.
      owner thought tag reads 2-6041 U for model but not sure. 
      I just wonder if this was perhaps a warranty factory return and they used a new id tag this way?
      Anyone ever come across something like this?
       Typed in the numbers for Clarity.
