Some consider the RJ25 as holy grail of Wheel Horse. There is more Seniors and Lever Steers then there is Rj25. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought those were cable steer John, it probably was a cable steer originally but most if not all early 55's that had cable steer received the recall drag link steering upgrade. Interesting thing is it looks as if at one time someone added what looks like RJ58 hood decals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tractornut86 621 #15 Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Vin, can't tell you for 100% but believe it's an air vain. Been couple years since even saw the tractor. It's been in the back of the one building for a long time over at my brothers. The pics themselves are about 3yrs old. The decal is an odd thing also. It has the large hole in hood without 2 smaller holes for a button also. Edited December 10, 2018 by tractornut86 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason I asked about the governor is because no one I have ever spoken with could nail down if the RJ25 Model 8 was mechanical or air-vain originally... they may have even used both styles.. who knows. The kill switch hole would be correct for a RJ25... but there was no kill switch on a RJ25 because you were to stick your finger in the hole in order to push the grounding tab onto the spark plug. Very nice unit for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
