trettig 0 #1 Posted December 23, 2010 This 1955 RJ-35 came from Porter, Maine. More or Less complete, minus steering wheel, motor and wheels. And complete with a lot of rust. I will be asking questions about restoration in future. Attached Image (Click thumbnail to expand) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trettig 0 #5 Posted December 24, 2010 Steve, Thanks, So is yours a RJ25 or RJ35? What are the differences between early and later 55's. Do you or anyone know anyone selling a cast iron steering wheel for the RJ? How many of the 55's exist? How many were made? Any info about them? Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #6 Posted December 24, 2010 "RJ-35" Search results from RedSquare Read through some of those posts - including the answers contained in some of your past inquiries. As far as how many still exist or were actually made - I don't think anyone is able to answer that. Someone was reproducing the steering wheels, but I haven't seen any listed anywhere lately. Joe Papke could have been "behind them" since he into that kind of thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
