i picked up my rj 59 and 702 this morning, nice guy got them loaded right up and he gave me a set of transmission seals and a couple manuals and brochures. i got them home, and hoped the rj ran, he said it did, it started right up. ran gread, took it down the driveway and back and started leaking engine oil through the pan, but besides that was great. it deffinetly needs a tranny rebuild, in one of packrats videos on youtube it says what the problem is, i forget right now but will give updated, the 702 is not bad, i just put it in the shead for now and am going to leave it for a bit untill i get my lawn ranger back togher and 856. i will post updates and the rj tranny case was a early one it was D-8-59 witch if im right is april 8th 1959, and did anyone know the early rj-58 had a leather shifter boot?

Greetings everyone! I'm a new member to this forum and a new Wheel Horse A-100 owner. I'd been looking for an inexpensive fixer-upper riding lawnmower to make my yardwork a little easier for an aging fellow like myself. Snagged this A-100 for $250 that's in really decent shape for the most part. The mower deck has some problems however, but the actual tractor is in great shape. Doesn't look as though it was used much, and still has all the original tags on the Briggs & Stratton stickers on the housings. Engine sounds fine but the needle isn't shutting the fuel off properly, so it runs rough until it's revved up a bit. The pedals have scarcely any paint worn from them. Quite remarkable for a '77! So I have one of the blade shafts bound up, another that doesn't feel all that nifty. I don't know if those bearings are sealed, or whether anyone might be able to clean 'em up and repack them for continued use. Pulleys are in rough shape but I may be able to salvage them. Any info on the bearings in the mower deck would be very helpful! (Including recommended grease type, etc.) Also it needs a key... The Ignition switch is an INDAK 103991 which appears to cross to a Toro. New switches are available, but does anyone know if it's possible to just purchase a replacement key? I'm guessing it takes typical non-detergent 30W oil... It's a '77 model Briggs & Stratton 10 HP. (Model 251707, code 77040412) What fluid does the gearbox take? Thanks!! Regards, Pete (Aka Rugerhound)

Hi. I just bought (but haven't brought to my house yet) a 1999 314-8 with a 48" side discharge mower deck and 650 hours on it. I've been to the files section and downloaded lots of manuals. This is a great site and helped educate me the last few days when making my purchasing decision. I look forward to contributing throughout my ownership! Rodd
