first horse - a rj-58!

[newt 14]

hi there everyone, I just picked up my first wheel horse on Saturday, an rj-58. I got a seized mower deck, a plow blade, which I think might be from a newer wheel horse. (it has the blade that angles) the best part was I got the cbr sickle for it, and its in really good shape!

I have a few green tractors, a bunch of red and silver ones, I thought its time to try a different brand! now I found a lawn ranger not far from me!  and so the sickness continues!

I'm sure I will be on for questions about the rj, so thanks in advance! - newt

Looks good...   

what is it's serial #? 

[newt 14]

yes its pretty well all there - repro belt cover, I'm missing the pedal for the sickle (I think), but checked out pics and plans from other on here to make one! ill get pics of the snowblade I got with it, the mower deck is rough, but I thought I could get the main deck bent from steel plate and drill and mount brackets and gearboxes and have virtually a new deck!

all I can see from serial number is it starts with a 15

Nice lookin' new  score there.    

[newt 14]

well looks like I bought a gas tank on ebay this weekend, the rj has a small tank from some other engine wired into the hood!
