We were sold this and told it was a 1958 rj-58 but then told it may be s 1961 model can any one help? I’m in the uk and looking for parts to restore

After moving all the Wheelhorse related signage out of the first shed (now the yellow and white shed) I thought I had better tidy it up and add some replacement bits and bobs... I thought the sign in the first photo quite appropriate

A bit more done this morning. Engine had been left for the oil to drain. Before it could be lifted off, petrol was drained and fuel line removed. Also fuel tank. Then foot plates and tin ware off the sides. Engine lifted off. The anti vibration plate was removed next and the engine left on the gantry and wheeled to one side. I'll see to the rest of the tractor before I tackle that. As usual the pin holding the steering wheel refused to budge. So the top half of the tower was removed along with wheel and instrument panel. Who's bright idea it was to rivet the control levers on I don't know. But he could do with a swift kick up the b******e. Not sure how far I want to go with the strip down yet. A good pressure wash is next, then I'll get it on the bench.

A very pleasant Autumn so far where I am. Not long before the leaves drop from my Acer Palmatum Bloodgood. Usually the last deciduous to lose it's leaves around here and the first to bud in spring. Even beats the Oak for leaf endurance. Greeted with this array of colour outside the kitchen window. This view is from an upper bedroom window -

No thats a tractor built in Birmingham in the UK in the late 1960's

The Commmando 8 looks good

Quiet afternoons pottering about today... Changed the Lawn Ranger and the Suburban round (they look better that way round) and moved some of the Wheelhorse goodies up from the original Wheelhorse shed (which is now the Yellow and White shed - Cub Cadet and Mowett Mustang)

Spot on mate, thanks again Few more photos...

More Ohlsson Rice powered machines and Jobbers back from storage this evening... Tractors back over the weekend

Busy bunny this evening, raised platform installed and screwed into place, also shelves each side of the shed, one more smaller shelf to go up tomorrow above the one on the left hand side (as you look through the door)... it's getting there !
