Raider 2 #1 Posted May 27, 2008 Hi all, I finally hauled home my first Wheel Horse. I've been wanting a garden tractor for a long time now and the Wheel Horse made the most sense, Naturally I wanted to find out as much as I could about the tractor and how to keep it up and Redsquare looks like a great place to get that info and rub elbows with other tractor owners and enthusiasts. I'll be posting some info and pics of my 1968 Raider shortly but wanted to say hi before I get my hands dirty. When I'm not playing in the garden or working on the house I like to fish and tinker with boats. Now if I can figure out how to set up my hitch to pull the boats I'll be as happy as can be.

linen beige 14 #2 Posted May 27, 2008 :whistle: This site is chock full of good people with great info. There are a LOT of these old 'Horses set up to pull boat trailers. There will likely be several pictures posted to give you some ideas. So far, I haven't been able to get my camera to upload any pic.s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse_of_course 99 #9 Posted May 28, 2008 Welcome! I love your signature. I take it you got a blower with the Raider. Nice setup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider 2 #10 Posted May 28, 2008 Yep, I bought the Raider with a snowblower, WheelHorse model ST376, and a three blade mower deck I can't identify. The deck has a few numbers on a tag under a bolt but they don't look the same as WheelHorse numbers and the deck and tag had been painted over. Working on my pics yet...
