wemo35 0 #1 Posted July 17, 2011 HI all, Im a new proud owner of a raider 12, i have inherited this tractor from my father & dont know the 1st thing about it. The tag numbers under the dash read as 1-6241 & 574752. I mowed with it yesterday , seems to leave a mohawk cut in the middle of the cut . other than that this tractor runs great. Can anyone tell me what year this tractor was made? thank you for having me. chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #2 Posted July 17, 2011 Welcome, and it's a 1969 raider 12 with a 12hp kohler, the strip might be as simple as it needs a set of blades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,744 #3 Posted July 17, 2011 According to the numbers you have given, you have a 1969 RAIDER 12 4 speed. If origional, the engine would be a Kohler 12 HP K301S-47147C with a WHEEL HORSE rear-end # 5071. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
