RJ-58 Identification

Recommended Posts

RedHorse54

Hey everyone, I was wondering if any of you could tell me how to identify a wheel horse tractor as an RJ-58? And were the RJ-58s considered Ponds, or are they considered a wheel horse? Because sometimes I see people call them an "RJ-58 Pond." Thanks

From the model list...

RJ-58 1958 Lawn & Garden Tractor Ride Away Jr. 4-Speed Kohler K-90 3.5 Wheel Horse 5003
RJ-58 1958 Lawn & Garden Tractor Ride Away Jr. 4-Speed Clinton B-1290 3.6 Wheel Horse 5003

The most noticible change for the '58 models...the new angle iron frames, and the new three piece/speed transmission.

Gone were the sheet metal frames, and the variable drive trans from the earlier '55-'57 RJ-35's. 

Ride-Away Junior's hoods started getting stamped with the new Wheel-Horse brand name starting in '57.
