1969 Raider vs 1973 8-8 Hoodstand Question

Recommended Posts

I have a 1969 Raider model that has had butchering on the hoodstand. Hoodstand part number 7881

I also have a 1973 8-8  model 1-0370 8 sort of a parts tractor.  Hoodstand part number 102795

The tractors are not stored in the same place, so it hard to compare the hoodstands from pictures, but they seem similar. 

I know Wheel Horse change part numbers at one point in time to get around some sort of federal price regulations, I think in the Nixon years.

 

Can anyone, tell me if these Hoodstands are the same? 

Maybe @gwest_ca

This is the 1969 Raider 12

In has another hole in the rear, besides the one pictures, and weld scab repair

We don't have either of those specific models here but I'm about 95% sure that'll bolt right on. 

My only question would be the height. 

I >think< they're the same.  

 

All the mounting bolt holes should be identical.

I'm with Eric I believe they will swap right out. Maybe someone will come along that has done/tried the swap and will tell you for sure.

Could not find the assemble drawings for the 69 Raider 12 1-6231. I think they are the same. My 1971 had a pipe at the back for the fender hinge. 

All the others I found as a flat bar bent down on the ends for the hinge, either one will work. The 73  8-8 has the bar if the drawings are right.
