Out by a small grocery store was this 1957 RJ-35! The RJ had a few non original parts BUT the RJ-35 was not sold in Virginia. Wheel Horse only had two dealers starting in 1958. The RJ-35 is not for sale (don't think that I did not try to buy it). Wild Bill in Richmond, VA

Many moons ago I thought it would be neato to have a mid mount grader blade. @Chris G helped me out with sourcing one. Got it here. Showed it to the BBT Trina person and immediately lost possession of said neato to have mid mount grader blade. But..... She does GREAT work with it maintaining our front dooryahd. I mentioned the other day we'd had some heavier than normal water flows screw up the driveway. Here's what it looks like after she rode around on her Tractah for an hour or so....

That thing makes space travel and deep sea diving look safe…😆

Where are the white pants???

Round hoods rock! It looks like the PO was an electrician?

The new Rustoleum Custom Spray can sprayer is a very good innovation! About $1.50 more than old can sprayer type but it has more flexibility than the original!

New “e” rated fuel lines on the B-80 today … used the clear/yellow line only from the pump to the carb.

I used the new Rustoleum can to paint the wheels on my Rj35. Felt a little clumsy to me and to many options. I guess Im showing my age and don’t like change.

Not the weeds only here.... our whole grass grows that height the last 3 rainy months.... No chance to mow inbetween. That was my reason for the highgrass mower.... today few parts arrived and i decided to upgrade it a little... Firstly i removed the Discs from the Mower and greasing all the gearboxes. Than i gram a parted old Sicklebr i have for spareparts - to have is allway’s better than need- They be about 30years old but in good shape - just a little surface rust. than i drilled the middlesection up to 11mm next step was to shorten the Tips a little, because they be too long. and at least i mounted they into the Discs. instead of that thingis... boy, that looks dangerous but also hot. i machined up the Jackshaft pulley to it’s final Bearings fit and changed also both Belts, the one to the Jackshaft and the other to the Mowerdeck. at least i adjusted the Belt spanner to its final position and cut the screwhead that it didn‘t collide with the Belt when it goes to hard sideway‘s. Again it was time for a Testdrive - just in idle... let‘s see how it works... Niiiice - after few rpm‘s it stabilizes itself completely and no flattering is there. pretty Cool.

Just MIGHT be time for a new air filter and foam???

Brass worm gear? Years ago there was a specific lube for worm gears and it was not EP. Worm gears are a friction application and create heat. Today nobody seams to know what it is. Some say a steam oil will work but hard to find in small quantities. Also finding a lube not corrosive to yellow metals is a challenge. I opted for a 50 weight Lucas transmission lube for a 60:1 box.

Rollin' down Hwy 41 on my way home today I was passed by a FedEx truck. Some thing caught my eye, so I put the hammer down in order to catch up with the truck. After a second look I could not believe what I was seeing so I had to snap a picture. Looks like one package did not quite make it all the way into the truck.

I buy CRC. It kills bees better!

WOW - has our resident "Napateer" bitten the hand that feeds???

I used pull them off and throw them in a jar of lacquer thinner since dear old dads advice of holding it upside down and spray wasn't working. Know how it says don't put any thing down in the can? I was pounding 16 penny nails in it I was so 😠 sometimes. Now I just let them get really warm, take them out in the woods, set them by trees I want marked and shoot 🔫 them...

Maybe a Foot or a Leg....😂

I have yet to see them too but I'm thinkin more nozzles to plug. Actually Sylvia it was the valve inside the can I always have issues with.

Very interesting! I’ve never seen this before, I’d definitely like to try it.

Believe it is the 854 by the hood measure at 16.1 just so happen to find this at the local bone yard this morning

@stevasaurus fished the battle creek ranch , ln chouteau montana , a number of times , had their hybred , kamloops trout air dropped in from , ice cold streams , just across the border / canada . incrediable locataion , rockey mountian front , south east corner of glacier national park . last stand of chief joseph , aslo an air force , phone booth , in ground missle launch site , as well as a dinosaur dig area , of course they also had a " buffalo jump " in the planes to mountains area. indians would drive a buffalo heard on the run , future indian chief , would be a herd chase target , diving into a rock crevas , just befor the buffalo charge went over the cliff , to their death , and indian food source . vastness make you feel pretty insugnificant , pete

stevasaurus to clear up any confusion you may have the original poster of the video is a great outdoors chef cooking large amounts of food for the children in his care, the majority of the food raised or grown on the small farm making it self sufficient. I suspect with that with the fresh water stream running through the property I believe he has made a pond to raise the fish as part of the children's diet.

Possibly some dielectric grease or petroleum jelly would help condition the grommet?

Not me, the only time I caught salmon with a net was the time I volunteered during the spawn, From the catch eggs and sperm were harvested

One of the lucky ones. Some are not so lucky.

How cool to stumble onto something like that!

I'm hoping neither one of you, or @WHX?? saw this package delivery service training movie prior to picking up my little A-60 a few weeks back and delivering her safe and sound across half the Country...

Hooked up the broadcaster to the C121, ready to overseed the paddocks after the hay has been cut and the buttercups sprayed. Also been busy machining the double pulley on the 36” RD deck, due to a broken lower flange, and unable to locate a replacement over here.

Been making some progress. Went with a M18 starter that I didn't remember was on the shelf for the reverse. Floor boards will make it difficult to Flintstone it in reverse. The floor boards help to lower the look of it. Got the hood fab stuff mostly done but still need to build a front mount. Wiring all set. Engine runs nice and did take it for a test ride. It's getting pretty busy under the hood so probably gonna a pain to work on. Stuff is gonna need to be removed to work on other stuff. Still have lots of bracing to do and get the pedals figured out. 1 for brakes and 1 for the reverse belt. The handle bars will probably drop an inch or few

yes. And I like it. Seems to have better pressure and control. Also you Lock the spray nozzle after use ! Used on my special front weight bracket!

Score!!! Out for bike ride with Mrs Sylvan and Bam!!! 4 houses down the street - Free!!! Road it back to garage and will do the full Greasy @peter lena ... Its in great shape!

It's fantastic. The first year, it was 90% about the tractors and 10% about the people. Now it's 10% about the tractors, and 90% about the people. And their are home made pies for sale at the consession stand.

I'm liken that Sylvia...lemme run that by the ole lady... I think she will like it. Poos did go with us on a cocktail cruse & ❤️ ride tonite with us. I do pick up enough doggy land mines. I'd like to figure a way to get her to ride in the tub. Cindddaayy is worried she might bail and hurt herself.

Lol... good enough for @Achto to take a bath in. Sides after that it will be brown 💩 again...

@WHX?? I've had similar thoughts with my Rustoleum cams that plug up 1/2 way through. On a couple of cans that did plug up, I tried switching to a known good nozzle. No joy. I then tried to open the valve without a nozzle. Still no help. Apparently, the clog is on the can side of the valve.

Does this seat make my rear end look fat? Poo Poos says we need to name this tractor. Now I ain't one to name my tractors but I thought maybe busseater with busty for short?!?! Any better ideas?

I figured out today that I’m driving a rear steer. I’ll be pushing chickens instead of pulling them @8ntruck this makes my backwards steering all right in the world now without sitting on the other side of the wheel too!

Honeymoon Suite?

I'd say! Seems to me with those new teeth your cutter should be able to take on grass, weeds, shrubs, small trees. Maybe a mountain or two.

@Pullstart thats it , once you start to use a multi purpose lubricant for rubber to metal / vinyl , thats what its made for , just setting up some fuel runs / experimenting on location / run , ease of flow ,etc , just a tiny ammount makes fitting changes , fuel filters etc , very easy to do , also put on a squeeze gas clamp first, inches away from the connection , then after you are all in place ,suuare edge plrers , easily slide clamp in place , SUPER LUBE , small bottle , H/W store , done that , pete

It measures 16 and a fuz i believe i truly have a 854 1964 thanks for all your help ill look into the trans swap out

@Vinylguy here makes amazing decals if you prefer to correct the model on the belt guard

You know someone is home tracking that package and will never know why it just stopped moving…and Fed/Ex will have no idea why

So cool! See you in a couple weeks Bill!

A piece of bar stock about 5 inches long was used. 2 holes with one pinned into the slot hitch, the other for hitching the cart An early WH cart would be easier to build since it's square. This shows the the slot hitch connection bar too.

Got the transmission and some parts sanded and look at the frame planned on welding on it tomorrow night then started putting the transmission back together

Wonder if Ace Ventura was driving the truck.

Not so much by plan. It's "geared" so it should be maybe top out at about 10 MPH currently. Enough to be faster than your average tractor simply because it would be embarrassing to get passed by a B-80. When it's geared down like it is the torque converter doesn't get up to enough speed to change those variable pulleys very much. That's not to say it won't be geared different in the future because it probably will. Better to find any weak points and work out some of the kinks at 10 MPH than it is at 30 MPH. The setup with a jack shaft allows for plenty of adjustment by changing sprocket sizes.

yup. I have a zero turn for my mowing, but want this for doing my front yards and around my shrubs. The smaller deck makes for a nice looking cut. Plus I now have a mower to go along with my wheel horse tiller, snow blower and dump trailer
