2003Chevy 27 #1 Posted April 24, 2021 Would someone help me ID the model and year of this tractor? It just doesn't match the pictures of others I have seen. ---the square back side of the 'top' just above the engine is what caught my eye as the most non-typical. It is a Kohler engine--unknown model there too. Thank you. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,155 #2 Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Looks like the remnants of an RJ with a cobbled up hood from a 65 -70 square hood grill. In other words a Mongrel (I also see an Economy tractor in the background! ) Edited April 24, 2021 by squonk 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,606 #5 Posted April 24, 2021 Yep I agree with they guys on this one. It is a '58 or '59 RJ. It looks like it is mostly there, just has the wrong hood on it. It should look like this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,012 #7 Posted April 25, 2021 RJ-58 without a hood but that hood doesn't look too bad on there. At least whoever did it took their time and didn't just go the easy route and cut off at the steering shaft. Finding a correct hood isn't impossible if you want one but could take some time. It needs a belt guard and extend that exhaust to the front or it will burn your leg. I'd get rid of those wheel barrow front tires too 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, many a mongrel is a very much ❤️ mongrel! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In other words a Mongrel (I also see an Economy tractor in the background! ) The orange monster is a '65 Economy Power King. Got it last summer--was in a shed in the woods "lost" since 1994... it was terrible. It smelled so bad from the HUGE mouse nest and the rotten rear calcium filled tires that I had to park way in the back yard away from the house while I got it going. Engine was rebuilt less than 6 months before it was parked in '94, so its bones were excellent. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
