Displayed my RJ58 at the Temple tractor and engine show this past weekend, and he got lots of attention. For the first time there were a number of Wheelhorse tractors on the grounds, but this RJ was head and shoulders above the rest. Not braging just stating a fact. Well about half way through the morning I decided to ride around the grounds. The RJ had the plow attached and was towing a small cart. A woman who was attending the show saw RJ fell in love and had to have him. She wanted RJ for parade duty ( xmas, new years, 4th of July, ect.) We agreed on a price and loaded RJ in her pick up and that was it, RJ had a new home. My wife shed a tear as she felt like one of her kids was leaving home. I will miss the RJ but I still have my 854.

That's right, but my next one will only have the mechanicals refurbished. I am not going to bring the sheet metal and paint back to new. Going to keep it in its work clothes.
