Recommended Posts

Hi all. Here is my second Wheel Horse. I got it because it was only $75 and the tranny shifts and works.. :thumbs: I also got an electric actulator that I took apart and cleaned up and should work. Anyway, Enjoy the pictures. :)

I don't think that engine is a standard issued one for wheel horse.. Heck, I never knew that a OHV cast iron engine was even made back then. LOL. It also has a compression leak when you turn the flywheel..

That is an old Tecumseh OH 160 16 HP. A buddy of mine has one on an old Miller welder. They run fairly good from what I've seen.

So gwgdog66, do you think that engine is worth repaired and getting back to a running state? Dang, i didn't know it was a 16HP. LOL. Nice.. Now, how come my friend's 12Hp kohler is a bigger engine? Yet this one makes more power?

Nice find and good price. The old horses are hard to pass up. I also have two but always looking for the next one. Looks like a good winter project.

So can you guys tell me if I'm correct into thinking its a 1968 raider? Also, I can't fine any serial numbers on it. Where would they be? Lastly, is this motor worth getting running again? Thanks..

Look for the ID tag under the dash right in front of the shifter, I think it's a 68 or 69, leaning to a 68 from the hood decals, I can't remember if that was the one they used in 69 or not.

and on the engine if you don't have the rest of the parts they can get expensive like the solid state coils!!!!
