Cutlas3391 776 #1 Posted November 22, 2013 I bought a nice 753 Wheel horse today thats been sitting for about 20 years and everything looks nice and free. This is my first 753 Wheel Horse i believe is 1963. The second one i bought is a little rough 1958 RJ58 I believe its a 1958 the price was to good to pass up on it. I don't think the exhaust guard is original. The last 4 photos i didn't buy this tractor he wanted a little to much for i think is a 1956 RJ-35 with the cast iron steering wheel and the guards. The bad part its not the correct motor its a 6 horse kohler not the 3.5hp that suppose to be in there. Otherwise its a cool tractor its just have to work him down on the price. Also did anybody ever see a national mower i think its form the 60s he's selling that to is there any value to them? i figure i can buy it and resell for a profit to buy more wheel horse tractors and parts. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,094 #5 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) That heat shield is correct for the RJ, just looks like the exhaust pipe itself is not on correctly. It has the original type Schnake recoil and an uncut hood too! NICE SCORE! Edited November 22, 2013 by wallfish 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cutlas3391 776 #7 Posted November 22, 2013 Did you get the belt guard with your RJ? No luck on the guard on the Rj that would of been sweet... That heat shield is correct for the RJ, just looks like the exhaust pipe itself is not on correctly. It has the original type Schnake recoil and an uncut hood too! NICE SCORE! Cool thanks on the heat shield i really thought it was not the correct one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
