rj35hunter 283 #4 Posted November 18, 2022 What is the Clinton engine numbers? I’m curious if it’s original correct Clinton engine…..also which recoil does the engine have? Thanks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,220 #7 Posted November 18, 2022 Nice find, has a bit of body work needed but it is all there. Wonder what the two small lifting eyes were for? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,571 #8 Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) Nice Score!! Judging by how the back tires are installed. The last owner must have been using it as a competition puller on asphalt. Edited November 18, 2022 by Achto 2 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,130 #14 Posted November 20, 2022 Thinking that is a late in production RJ that is transitioning over to the Suburban model tractors. Will take some researching here but I'm pretty sure I remember at least one surfacing here in the past decade. I too, picked one up today that has a Suburban style steering gear, front axle, & tie rod setup on it too. Mine appears to have the lift sector mounted on the frame with the original model#, ID tag still in place. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
