Hello from Southwestern Ohio!

I have a clean little Raider 10 that is mostly original with the exception of the seat. I mainly use it for some rolling, aerating, and as a snow plow for my 200 foot driveway.

I already sandblasted and painted the plow frame. Since it runs so well, I am debating about tearing down the tractor too but I do not see it in the near future.

If that is original, don't tear it down. Looks beautiful as it sits. Welcome to the Square!

Thanks all...unless I have too, I do not see tearing into the little Raider.

My pull was an assortment of pieces, hence the paint job. I am also making a 100 pound weight holder for the rear hitch.

I do have to say, it sure has some pull! This will be the first year I will use it for snow, that is if we have any snow this year again!

Well, my 1968 Raider has really done a great job plowing snow this year. The weight compared to Husqvarna tractor made a great difference.

I ended up adding a homemade weight bracket that has 85 pounds and never had a problem with tire spin. Using some old weight lifting weights = free.

I have about a 200 foot driveway, a turnaround, and parking pad.

This year's winter team...Husqvarna retired for winter.

Horrible security camera photo plowing about 6-7 inches of snow and 1 foot+ drifts without a problem.

Welcome aboard, from another Buckeye (East Central Ohio). Great looking Raider 10! Unless you are having "issues" with tractor, don't touch it.

You will be amazed at the help and knowledge on RS!
