Just Acquited

Good Afternoon All

 Just acquired rear discharge deck and spare mule drive for the Raider 12.

Can anyone ID the deck? I see not tags on it.

Once my mid mount hitch arrives I should be able to mount and mow.

 Also, the hight adjustment has no markings, so I'll ASSUME that you adjust with a tape measure off of the blade tips.

 Thanks to all who respond

Looks like the blades are too short. ?

Pete 

  It is a 42". Would you have any idea of a model #? I would like to get a parts manual.

My PTO is the older style.

The Raider 12 did not come to me with a deck. My wife has used it to haul a garden cart. The decks offered were vertical belt driven. I added the mule drive to have a better deck selection.

 I had a Simplicity 3416H 48" left side discharge deck for close to 50 years. I really liked how it mowed. A couple of years ago a Wheel Horse 857 found its way into the garage. I never knew the rear discharge deck existed. It has a 36" deck and it mows as well as the Simplicity.  I'm  relatively new to the Wheel Horse world. The tractors are simple to work on (at least the older models) the attachments, however, are a bit more complicated.

It will be one of these. A few of the differences are noted but not all.

 

These all use blades with 3/4" center hole.

1977 model 75-42MR02 replaced by - (Has the flat spindle belt idler pulley mounted on a flat bar) (Has multi-link hardware at the gauge wheel support)

1978 model 85-42MR01 - (Has the flat spindle belt idler pulley mounted on a flat bar) (Has multi-link hardware at the gauge wheel support)

1979 model 95-42MR01 - Shares an illustrated parts list with 85-42MR01 - (Has the flat spindle belt idler pulley mounted on a flat bar) (Has multi-link hardware at the gauge wheel support)

1979 model 95-42MR02 - (Has no multi-link hardware at the gauge wheel support)

1980-1983 model 05-42MR01

1984 model 05-42MR02 - Last year for bearings with 3/4" ID

1985 model 05-42MR03 - First year for bearings with 17mm ID unless older spindles were updated.

1986-1988 model 05-42MR04

1989-1990 model 15-42RC01

1990-1992 model 15-42RC02

Note - 17mm is .669"

I don't know if it will help but is there a part number on the belt routing decal or any of the others?

[Simplecity 27]

Thanks for the model#s

The is a part # on the belt routing decal (106748) I'll see if that will help narrow it down.

 The deck does have the flat bar mounted tensioner pulley.
