Tombstone weight on a rj58

Recommended Posts

Looking for pictures of how the bracket mounts on a rj58 for a tombstone weight.  Or info from someone. I see the little bolt under the hood that looks like it should hold it but it’s a pretty small bolt.

Sorry I have no answer to your question but just as @Pullstart said those are sweet wagons you got there!

Are these home made or could you buy them somewhere?

Might have to build one for my Murray to IH 1468 project. Bet that would look sweet.

Thanks!   Yes that would look sweet on that. Are you making it look like a real v8? I’d like to see it done.   The wagons were factory built about 15 miles from our farm from 1968-72ish.  Not a lot know left.  And don’t think there were a lot made.

UPDATE- I mounted the weight today. I found out that supposedly the tombstone weights were not offered with the rj?  The bracket had to be modified a little bit it’s not an original.  I think it turned out good though!

There's a topic on it on this forum under 'other brands', look for Murray to IH and you'll find it.

So cool to see that these were actually factory built. Thanks for sharing the info and brochure. I saved both your pictures and the brochure. It's nice of them to have included the exact colorscheme and dimensions, let's say, 'for future reference' :tools-hammerdrill: :tools-hammer: 

 

Your weight and bracket solution looks excellent. I would'nt be able to tell that's not a factory solution :handgestures-thumbupright:
