Dillonrtx 0 #1 Posted yesterday at 01:15 AM Hi I’m new to site and new to wheel horse. I bought a raider 12 and I don’t know the year yet have to clean serial tag off previous owner painted over it. But I have a mower deck I am struggling to install and the belts. The previous owner bought tractor to plow snow but never used it so he was no help. He gave me a box of random parts I don’t know if I am missing parts or what I am doing wrong but can I please get some help thankyou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,277 #3 Posted yesterday at 01:53 AM Welcome to Red Square. This may be the wrong deck and vintage but may help. Click on the tractor in the link and go from there. Mower decks are sized by their width of cut - not the width of the deck. Keep the questions coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLF 73 #6 Posted 5 hours ago (edited) There should be a flat 3" Idler on the back side of the piece laying on the ground. The belt goes down from the PTO around the V idler and back to the deck. It come back with the back side on the flat idler and up to the PTO. There should be a short flat bar with a welded pin that fit the end of the curved bar. not sure where it attaches.. I took one off my 1971 Raider five years ago. Edited 5 hours ago by DLF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexR 2,999 #7 Posted 5 hours ago (edited) This is the way my Raider 14 was setup when I got it. The circled blue area on your tractor is also a issue there should be a locking mechanism to hold that bar into the slot. It appears to be missing that.
