KenB's dual 58RJ haul today

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,372]

Ken B has been looking for a nice original RJ or Suburban for a few months now. He missed out on a few local tractors but not today ! I took a ride with Ken to meet up with Nate and this is what Ken came back with... Not 1 RJ but 2! One is partially restored and complete. The other is an all original early model with left over RJ35 front rims/tires and even has the original leather shifter boot ! He is probably in his garage right now tinkering with them.... He asked me to post up some pictures for him since it will be dark when he gets home. Here they are-great haul Ken !!

ps- I ended up with a nice early 42 inch deck (thanks Nate)!

Wow! Nice tractors ken. Jake

I just got done unloading. I put the race boat outside and the RJ's are now safely in my garage. I did do some tinkering, such as mount the tires and rims on the partially restored RJ and some light cleaning on the original RJ. The original RJ is going to stay that way, I won't repaint it. Tomm. I will mount the original K90 on it and button things up.

A great big THANK YOU goes out to Nate! You really hooked me up!

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,372]

Yeah he did !! :omg:

Great haul Ken you the man! :bow-blue:

The partially restored one started its newly exposed life to the outdoors via Rocky Hill a few years back.

The front mount reel mower that was on it is still in my garage.

And he didn't even swipe any parts off them before before giving you the lead? :hide:

Nice score Ken!

Are you going to the big show with them this year?

[Lars 526]

Nice haul there. :)

You guys are having way too much fun. Nice score Ken.

[jdog_kustoms 82]

does the early one still have the round hubs on it or is it new enoughe to have the 3 spoke hubs

[Ken B 3,165]

Here are a few pics of the tractors with a few more of their pieces on them. The front rims on the mostly original RJ appear to be left over RJ-35 rims. They don't appear to have ever been painted. Tonight I cleaned both sides of the rims of many yrs. of thick grease. The grease preserved them quite well. Today I got a chance to weld about a dozen holes closed on the RJ that is being restored.

If I can make it I will no doubt be bringing two RJ's.

[squonk 41,905]

You still had room in the truck. Should have come back with 3 or 4 more! :ychain:

Thats if you don't launch them before the show.... You and Fireman tend to speak of fire sales often....

[Ken B 3,165]

That does hap

That is what happens when you are trying to juggle around a few different hobbies with limited space. There are a few things that I've had for yrs. and as in yrs. I mean about two. :ychain:

Actually no fire sale here! As soon as I can get everything outside and cleaned up for pictures, the Wheel Horses, Kitty Track Dozer and Economy will be listed on Ebay. I'm only keeping the JD317 and the JD112 with loader for snow duty. I've had my fun and it's time to move on. I also have a bunch of extra parts that will listed too.
