Very nice RJ , very rare here in UK , it's great to see the little guys working

It's gonna look real smart , I bet it has been a fun & enjoyable project Nigel

This is awesome guys , I'm so looking forward to seeing the end result & I'm delighted with this restoration thread , I never though it would get to have a dedicated thread on its revival .

Oo , that's not pretty , filler looks quite deep , although I did know that there was some filler work on the hood .

Not sure if it was discussed with you guys but was there any talk in repainting said RJ ? Loving the vids

I am sooooo exited to see this happening & that my little baby is in good hands , I have plenty more projects waiting for your expertise Ian . I have contacted Michael Martino to let him know that you guys are now working on his old tractor .

If you want to put a Clinton in it Ewan you will need the 1290 Clinton , you will be very lucky to find one of these , my opinion would be to hang of for the Kohler K90 or K91 , but make sure you don't buy the one with the tapered crank ,

Here is a little guide as to what it supposed to look like , this model has the black rear wheels & silver front wheels . these little tractors were actually built buy Cecil Pond himself .

Wow , I'm delighted my little baby is is on the operating table this little tractor used to belong to the Straight from the horses mouth author Michael Martino and if I remember rightly he said it was a He ,

Keep an eye open on US EBay fenders often pop up on there and most people are willing to ship parts , sadly the shipping costs can work out a bit juicy

i was in the same situation as you Ewan , I wanted to have a round hood but they were rarer than hens teeth here in UK so I desided to build my own using the frame from my old commando 8 shown below , I had a hood stand ,fuel tank and other parts shipped over from US but most of the parts you have will already work for what you are trying to do . sadly I never got round to finishing the round hood and is now in bits in my work shop , Mabe one day I will get round to finishing it. good luck with your project

Wheelhorse parts are worth their weight in Gold , something is telling me to buy it but I'm not sure if the car behind it come with it

Happy New year chaps , feeling a bit delicate this morning , way too many Jack Daniels

Delighted that you got your money back Richard

Christmas Bargain eh ???????

Currently on sale on that auction site , someone's in for a bargain .

Junior has gone to visit his baby brother at the hospital and was a little sad to see him on the operating table but he knew he was in safe hands and was delighted to see his younger brother was making a massive recovery and was looking much better and that the colour was beginning to return to his once lifeless body . junior has desided to stay with his baby brother for a short while to have a little surgery done himself .

The chrome hub caps are the early rare type with just the Wheelhorse logo , is this tractor from the Sussex area and was on eBay a week ago ?

Richard , fancy a swap with one of yours ? 😊😜

Richard , it was prized from my fingers & I'm still in mourning & my flag is still flying at half mast . The Rj 35 was never sold in UK and as far as I know Chris Sutton & myself are the only owners of the 35 & both were imported from US , there are very few Rj58/59 in UK I only know of a handful of these that still survive , Suburbans are also rare here in UK and not many were sold .

I would love one of these , I see a chap cutting round the queens head on an old copper penny with one of these . fabulous

Don't know too much about them or value but I wouldnt mind owning it

Nice job , I was wondering if you were going to save the existing exhaust Nige , well done ,kept it original .

Chris , I wish I had kept it , letting go of it was like pulling all my teeth out with pliers & no anasthetic & then poking a red hot poker into the tooth socket . i cried like a baby all the way home .

Wow that's nice , wouldn't mind owning that . Awesome find
