Serial #s

Recommended Posts

Lockupchuck

I believe I have a rj-35, or 85. Can someone help me with location of serial #s on frame, and Kohler 4hp serial# as there is several coats of paint on this Tractor, so I know exactly what I am working on?  Thank you so much I believe it is a 50's Model

No serial numbers on the frame tractors that old didnt have serial numbers.

4hp kohler most likely a k90 or k91 serial tag would be riveted tk the flywheel shroud on the carburetor side. 

Post pics of your tractor so we can help you identify it.

:text-welcomewave:I have a restored rj58 they put a tag on the frame on the rj58 and 59 models and on up. If its a 58 or 59 and looks similar to mine there may be a tag on the frame on the left side in front of the motor

But the best way to find the year would be by the metal oval tag by the shifter. The should be a tag there it will be short numbers and a letter. the last number if i remember is the year the tranny was made. If it looks like mine look for a 8,9,or 0 on that tag by the shifter. if its older im not sure and the tranny will be alot different.

1958 RJ58 would be the first year with a 3 speed transmission. Earlier years had a variable speed tranny that was operated by placing the lever on the right hand side in to different notches to adjust your speed.

A Co-Worker got this ad a gift from his Father when he was 7 yrs old. They never could get it running. His Father has soon passed, and he asked me to look at it. The 4hp Kohler (I think) had 100# of Compression, but no spark.

Chuck, you will not find a nicer group of people than here at Red Square. This is another reason these little tractors are addictive!!

Start by cleaning the points, first with a small file then a final clean by running a dollar bill through them. Check the gap & reset if needed. After checking run a dollar bill through them again to ensure that there was no residue left behind from the feeler gauge.

 

 

 

If cleaning the points does not do the trick then try replacing the coil & condenser. You will have to remove the fly wheel to service these parts.

 

Coil part number is 220435S

 

Here is one source for parts.

@Lane Ranger Is correct. 1959 The last digit is a 9 so that means she was made in 59. At least the transmission was.

I think every photo so far the motors are kohlers. My restored rj58 is a 4hp kohler Early 58 and some 59 had clintons tho.
