Hello red square new member here, I would like to share my very first tractor with you all. A 1958 rj58 that I picked up the other day. This past Friday I left work a half hour early to make it to the bank to only travel 10 mins down the road from my job to purchase a rj. So I took it home and enjoyed my weekend staring at it! Can't play yet with it... Have some searching and work to do XD

I think I've come down with a serious case of horse fever.  My son and I currently have 4 and I'm always trolling for the next good deal:woohoo:!  By the way, you couldn't have come to a better place for your new sickness :text-welcomeconfetti:

I think that's a remarkable price.  I'm not the judge that other are.  You let these guys you only paid $5 for that rj and they will dropping in their tracks.  I think you got a great deal. And by the way.  :text-welcomeconfetti:TO:rs:.

It bolts right over the exhaust pipe. You can see the hole right where the muffler would go, above the engine pulley to the right

      Need some help deciding on a brand of engine to buy for my 1054. (Needs to be a diesel 10 hp+) I’m refining used motor oil/cooking oil for fuel for it. So it will have to have an option to run used oil and diesel

      1975-77 Yanmar YM2000Z.  I got as a basket case and did a lot of work on it.  Tractor only but I have a new Jbar brush hog that can go with it.  954 hours.  It slips out of high gears after a bit or uphill.  I Don't know if that is an easy fix.  New starter fuel pump to tank.  All new belts hoses etc.  new front tires and tubes.  rear are original.
      Its been a couple years since new parts but covered and cared for.  Feel free to ask any questions.  I could maybe deliver to a reasonable area.  Health says its time.  I need less responsibility and maint.  These machines need to continue to move or they wont.
       
      Thanks guys.  Pictures soon.  about 40 minutes south from my place.

      Value of RJ collection
      By RJcollector
      Ive been thinking about selling my 4 RJ-58s and all the attachments and parts I have. I have 4 tractors-2 have Kohler K91T , 1 has the Clinton and one has no engine. Only 1 is missing the serial number decal. Kohlers run. Clinton needs a carb. I have original exhaust shields AND belt guards for 3 of them. 3 mower decks, 2 plows, cart, 2 spare transmissions, parts breakdowns, original manuals and sale tags, seats, tires.  Not sure if I should sell it as 1 big collection or break it up. And also a good starting price?  I'll post pics when I get a chance. Thanks
