Even if I'm in Michigan? Wife's are like the Icounty and city they can add a few more requirements to the list to see if your essential. I have delta with all three over 40 years and had to make a lot of changes to comply. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #19 Posted April 18, 2020 Well, I just got home and Emory had to come out to see his tractor! I ended up driving only about an Hour to pick these up. Got an rj25, rj58, rj blade, front sickle bar, rj58 repro belt guard, and rj25/35 brake kit. The rj25 is a clone, as the hood has had the gas hole and kill switch hole bondoed over. That doesn’t bother me and I will likely weld a patch in the gas filler hole and repaint it my favorite regal red. Mechanically it is complete and seems to be in good shape. The little Briggs will stay as a tribute tractor. Emory’s rj needs a little hood work and the tranny is toast. I’ve got an extra transmission I plan to use to rebuild his with. The guy I got them from had the original brake kit for the rj in an rj35 and took it off to sell it. The snow blade is in good shape, really only needing a good cleaning and painting. The front sickle is functional, but seems right due to not being used or lubed up. I’m very happy with my haul, especially so close to home!! 2 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel Horse sales are considered essential mental health activities. I am open for business. Hey Ed. Not coming that far yet. Notice I said yet. If the Big Show is cancelled, which I honestly expect, we'll make us a turn and burn trip and pick 'em up! You can't get rid of us that easily! On another note, Emory just had to see if that Clinton had spark. Well, nope! I pulled the flywheel and found corroded points, a coil with loose plug wire, and generally years of lack of maintenance. Honestly, it will likely become decoration in our den as I have a 4hp Kohler I'll probably rebuild for him. I'm not much of a Clinton man. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
