foursevens 0 #1 Posted October 17, 2010 I have a curiosity question about this tractor. I bought it from a school corp. everything looks stock the motor (K241) serial # 4252272, says 1972 and the tractor model number as it is on the tractor is 103608. Can't find anything for that # but on here found a list that shows a 1-0360 as a 1973 Raider. Is this a crazy Wheel Horse mfg.thing like a model change year? Thanks, for any help I'll be needing more help for sure! I bought this with a broke connecting rod winter project. I've owned a 1972 Charger 10 Auto and a 1979 C-161 Twin Auto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #3 Posted October 17, 2010 :) 1-0360 is a 1973 "10 / 8 speed" - wrongfully identified as a Raider on just about every website with Wheel Horse information. (see - don't believe everything you read/see/hear on the internet ) They are affectionately know by many as the "no-name tractors", built during the buyout of Wheel Horse by AMC. Although they share many parts with both the "football team" models and the later B & C series, the decals (and lack of official name) make them a unique, one-year machine. This was my 12 / 8 speed from a few years ago: You're in the right place for all the information you'll ever need! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foursevens 0 #5 Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks, for the welcome and thanks for the info! I wondered if it was a model year change. My '79 C-161 twin auto was (I was told) a one year only as well how do I keep ending up with that? Now I wish I had it back more than ever I think it be super cool to have two "one of kind" Horses! The C-161 was my first it was a one owner and sweet as candy. It had a snow blade, snow thrower an extra set of ag cleat tires with chains & the rims tubed & filled with calcium, just swap out for winter. I also liked the hydro lift & drive. I have not tore into the K241 yet, I have'nt rebuilt a motor in so long I hope I haven't forgot. I think I remember these being pretty staight forward, hopefully she'll not need alot to make her happy once I'm doing the repairs. Thanks, again Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
