Shuboxlover 474 #1 Posted March 21, 2013 I see they only made them for a year. Does anyone know how many Wheel Horse made? There is one at an auction fairly close to me. I actually didn't even know they made a Raider 14 until I saw this. ~Thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CasualObserver 3,406 #5 Posted March 23, 2013 Actually WH (Toro) doesn't know how many were made. Production records from that era were lost forever between ownership changes, so unfortunately we'll never know. Member gwest has been building a serial number database for years though. via Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mid60's 93 #11 Posted March 30, 2013 Garry, they are all new tractors. The Raider 14 has been started and run but never worked. The comando 800 andt the raider 8 have never had gas or a battery in them. They all came from the same place. Larry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
