family tradition 0 #7 Posted September 15, 2011 i know never had a problem with my grandfather's. does anybody think if i take the deck whether it will fit in the back of a s-10 with a 7.5 foot bed. might have a problem getting a trailer to haul it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #8 Posted September 15, 2011 If you take the deck off, then yes, it will fit in the bed of an S-10. With stock tires, I think the WOA of the tractor is right around 38", give or take an inch? ~Duff :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

family tradition 0 #11 Posted September 17, 2011 i will enjoy her . Even though the bill keeps going up for the repairs and parts. Found out the spindles are bad and need rims and tires.took the spindles and tires off my raider 8 and they fit perfect even though are 8" tires hopefully put the orignal size back on and spindles. rather have both tractors running and operational Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
