Tgtack 779 #1 Posted May 23, 2017 I responded to a CL ad for WH parts over near Pittsburgh PA. This is what he had - "Wheel Horse Raider10 10 hp Tecumseh engine torn down cleaned and ready to rebuild. Also another 10hp Techumseh torn down for parts, and an 8 hp Tecumseh that runs. Also a whole other tractor I believe to be a Commander 8. The only thing missing is the rear end". Besides the two tractors and engines, he is including everything in the pictures. Besides the Raider 10 with the high/low tranny, the number of tires and rims included caught my eye. Plus, the Raider 10 is sitting on a nice looking set of AG tires and rims. Got the whole lot for $150, supposed to drive over and pick everything up this Saturday. The Commando 8 does have the rear end, he said someone tried to open up the case, but I am going to pick it up as well just to see if any usable parts left in it. It also looks like someone cut slots in the Commando 8 frame for some reason. If I decide to salvage the frame, I will weld in a backer piece and fill the slots and redrill the mounting holes. Thought it was a pretty good deal for the money. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,893 #2 Posted May 23, 2017 For $150, I'd say you got a good deal. That pile of tires alone is worth more than that. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tgtack 779 #3 Posted May 23, 2017 I figured the AGs alone were close to that if they are as nice as they look. Also looks to be a nice set of the older WH traction tires in the stack as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T McCool 287 #12 Posted May 24, 2017 I entertained that posting for awhile. Good deal, glad everything went to a good home! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tgtack 779 #13 Posted May 24, 2017 I am glad you only "entertained" it! I plan on rebuilding the Raider 10, not sure with the other one. Was in need of some tires and rims so I could paint up some without having to take a tractor down to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T McCool 287 #14 Posted May 24, 2017 Yeah that raider was in my cross hairs, too many projects here at the new home for me to pull the trigger. Well that and my wife... 😁 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that and my wife... 😁 I haven't broke the news yet either, she kinda looked funny at me the other day when I came home with my 4th tractor! But she knows is a hobby, and knows I am frugal, so the AG tires will be the selling point! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
