Lane Ranger 11,029 #8 Posted March 17, 2019 Not sure about blue paint spots. Replacement Kohler motors did come new with a blue paint on the tins. Kind of a Chrysler Blue color. Post some more pictures of your RJ 35 find CoryB! We all love to see wonderful originals found in someones place of revered storage! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have been drilled on a Monday morning and the motor installed on a Friday afternoon 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
