oldiron613 583 #1 Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Just wanted to share pictures of the latest additions to our Wheel Horse collection. A good friend of mine and I recently did some "horse-trading" and as a result, I ended up with a few tractors that I'm really proud to add to our growing "mini museum". The pictures are fairly high resolution so I'll add a few to the post below. The first is a 1956 RJ-25 clone. The tractor began life as a 1956 RJ35 and my friend, Mark searched out all of the authentic components to restore it as a RJ25 including a 1956 Briggs 8 engine with correct RJ gas tank stand, Schnacke recoil, period correct tires, muffler, etc. The steering wheel isn't quite correct however I have a correct cast iron wheel that I'll eventually put on it. The other is an original, first year 1962 32E Lawn Ranger. I really don't collect post 1961 models, but this tractor to me is historically significant being the first year Lawn Ranger with 1962 specific charactoristics such as the solid front tires. I'm really proud to add these to our collection! Edited August 3, 2020 by oldiron613 2 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My '62 Lawn Ranger is 62-17234. @oldiron613, very nice tractors, and looks like you got the right solid front wheels on that 32E 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
