RJ58 - Rear Wheels/Tires

[HorsePower58 12]

Hey good people,

 

I picked up an RJ58 and it has what looks like a set of rear wheels/tires from a C-1XX series maybe. Not sure. Just thought I would inquire if someone knew where original or close to original rear wheels for an RJ style tractor could be found. Here's a picture of what's on there now. Also, because of the wheels that are on it, I'm wondering if that's why the toolbox and rear fenders are not there, or if this is normal for a later rj58 to not have those. According to transmission tag, its H - 27 - 8  (August 27 1958).

This picture from @Lane Ranger is probably pretty close to factory issue.  He would be the guy to talk with here.

I do believe that fenders and tool box were an option. (could be wrong on that)

 

Original rear tires would be 6-12's, rims for this size tire will fit from many other brands of tractors that used this tire size.

 

Here is one source for tires.

  Tires big or small, we love them round hoods!

Welcome aboard . All above is correct. I always liked them better without fenders or tool box with ags. Gives them an even "older look".

Still has the often missing original belt guard.

Good to know. I'm taking it one piece at a time.
