Original Early 1956 Rj-35

[whtractors24 3,116]

Found this Early all original 1956 rj35 that was purchased new with three attachments . I’ve been working at bringing it back . I’ve been hunting for a few missing/ damaged  pieces to the puzzle such as patina Schnacke , drive rod ,etc which will come with time . I plan to yank the motor reseal it as it does run excellent. The cleaning process will be tedious and slow, but worth it . Only one missing I’m my line up is a 1955 rj-35 which I hope to find someday.

It is a heavy duty recoil pull starter that uses a steel cable rather than a rope.
