WHGuy413 2,766 #1 Posted January 9, 2019 This rj was my first Rj. My best friend bought it when I first got into them. He tossed the correct engine and put on a 7hp kohler. It came with duels and also a snow plow. After a while he tired of it and traded it to me for some box tubing I had in my driveway. I kept it the way it came but finally decided to restore it. He hates it now that it's restored but it's not his anymore lol. It took a while to find the correct k91 but i finally found 1 and scored it for 15 bucks. It had over half a inch of bondo on the hood when i stripped it. Its far from perfect and I know it still needs a few things like decals, belt guard and a heat shield but I'm pretty happy how it came out. I like putting it with my original rj (that's another story for another day) at shows. A lot of people like seeing 1 in its work clothes and 1 all dolled up. I do think I'm gonna switch it back to ag tires and put those tires on my suburban I'm restoring. 4 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's funny. What's even funnier is 1 day when I was at work he stopped here and left a note interested in a few things here. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,913 #11 Posted January 9, 2019 Very nice work on that tractor!! What a score on the K91. The Schnacke recoil alone is worth 3X what you paid for the engine. Well done Sir. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done Sir. I did buy that schnacke from Jake Kuhn. Great kid. It didn't have one when I got it. Needed something to help pull it all together. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
