I’ve see hour meters mounted in the side of the Hoodstand and look factory is. They are not something you need to see while it’s running 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 12,069 #54 Posted September 10 I'm late to the party with this thread. I don't know how I managed to miss it. It's an excellent read and I'll be following closely from here on out. I recently acquired a 68 Raider 9 (Tecky 10hp) and I've decided the best use for it is for parts and distribute them to other members here. There's a lot of common parts to your 71 so I'll keep tabs on that too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsoluna 134 #57 Posted Thursday at 09:23 PM Picked up a front blade, complete today! It's the proper 42" and the frame is also correct and complete, minus lift link and rear axle bracket. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd go with a solid connection. That way you have downpressure when needed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
