oldiron613 583 #1 Posted July 1, 2019 Out of curiosity, is my RJ here considered a 1959 made RJ58 or an RJ59? I ask because the tag says RJ58 but the transmission casting date is 1959. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,141 #2 Posted July 1, 2019 Like the serial tag says, we'll call it a '58... being that, to my knowledge...no one has ever produced a legitimate factory badged '59 unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, that is what I wondered.. I've always referred to this tractor as a 1959 RJ58 but wondered if there actually were RJ59 tagged tractors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 56,190 #6 Posted July 1, 2019 Very nice looking RJ. looks like you could use a new boot on the transmission. https://www.wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/transmissions.html#!/Wheel-horse-3577-shifter-boot/p/84932555/category=23548039 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,914 #7 Posted July 1, 2019 They built the RJ58 in both 1958 &1959. Seeing the casting date is February 3, 1959...no way this horse was put together in 1958. I would call it an RJ58 built in 1959. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
