I am not 100% sure on that but I am thinking so I went right from work to get it and looked at it made sure it wasn’t cobbled up or welded 100 times inside of tank looks brand new, it is really nice for the age nothing is cracked or welded as far as I can tell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure yet some were around 59 to 61 i think supposedly what I have read red with yellow frame is early production and late production is white or tan hood with gun metal blue frame.... the hood is peeling as you can see and is red showing so I say earlier model that all I know to this point 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,813 #12 Posted September 9, 2020 Saw one at the Portage show a couple of years ago. We were all sitting by the camper and a tractor rolls by with what looked to be a 5003 or 5010 tranny. Never did get to quiz the owner on it but speculated sold Tiger transmissions to use on their tractors. Maybe Rob @oldiron613 can shed some more light on them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #13 Posted September 9, 2020 I know of one by me, it is complete and running the paint was heavily brushed on, it was for sale for the right price we were told.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any information helps I did find this in a article The structure of this new tractor borrowed much from the old Cub series. Different in this design was the transmission which was purchased from Wheel Horse. It is the same transmission as used in the Wheel Horse model RJ.
