The party in whose favor judgment is entered may execute the same by the proceeding fixed in Rule 51 at any time within five (5) years after it becomes final. Upon expiration of that period, the judgment may be executed by leave of court, on motion of a party and notice to all parties. If after entry of the judgment the execution thereof is stayed by order or judgment of the court or by operation of law, the time the execution has been suspended shall be deducted in computing the five (5) years during which the writ of execution may be issued.
