Strip Down And Clean

Recommended Posts

Charlie Smith

Hello All just a post here to show you all what I've been up to today as I know you lot love pictures, I've been taking loads not to worry. Today I started to clean my old raider 10 up as I have a vintage country show approaching very soon. And I'm not restoring it just yet, I plan on keeping it original for a little while,so I thought I'd just give it a good clean up, so far I've only just taken the engine housing off and given it a good clean and all around the engine, tomorrow I am starting to work on the whole body and hope to have it shining bright by the weekend,

Thanks,

Charlie.

Now what is the best way you can suggest to safely clean the motor?

Thank you Kaiser, and Chevyaddict83, I guess just make sure you have disconnected the battery, also drain all flammable fuel (petrol) and whilst your doing so make sure there is no way anything can make a spark, otherwise, well lets say things might get rather warm :D

 Charlie , i notice that your engine is a Tecumseh engine, If ever you have any problems with the Tecumseh let me know as i have a brand New never been used tecumseh hh100 engine that i am possibly selling if you are interested sometime.

Always good to get the Ca-Ca off the fins no matter what the reason.

Thank you everyone :), and Neil, I just have a few spanners and odd tools and a length of towing chain, not sure weather to spray it red or not...

That's a good lesson for everyone that doesn't do it to remove the tins and clean the fins,  the ammo box looks cool green.  Sharp looking worker.

Great pics Charlie! Really like the tool box too. I've been wanting to mount a tool box to one of the horses but have not had the time as it seems like there is always something else to do here on the old farm. Keep the pics coming !

There wasn't a lot of work involved in getting that ammo box onto the front, the two holes where already drilled onto the tractor as its where the front guard goes, so I just had to drill through the box which was easy and took no time at all as its only a few mm thick, defiantly give it ago when you got five mins.

      My cheap-o walmart U1 battery is starting to bite the dust again (barely able to crank it over fully charged, and ozzing everywhere) after 3 years on my 68' Raider and I am looking into a new battery for winter as I now have a plow setup. I was thinking of either getting the original 22NF battery that came with it or running a mazda mita battery which is a U1 size. Is the AGM worth the extra money over the 22nF even in the smaller size? I think the vibrations keep killing the cheapo batteries and I am trying to make sure I can leave it out in the cold and not have a problem starting in the winter. It does get down to 0F or below zero every once in a while. I don't think I want to go all the way to a 22nF AGM as it is $200. 
       
      Thoughts?

      I am picking away at the k series on the raider10. Basically the Piston blew through at the ring grooves as it appears the rings may have had too large a gap. I can feel a slight erosion of the bore where the ring gaps All lined up, but not even close to catching a finger nail.
      I am hoping just hoping out the bore will get it back to round close enough that a ring job will do .
      In any case I can measure the bore and report back. Discipline demands that I do not tear this engine down right now as too many things are taking up my time.
      Just hoping the gurus can offer a bit of guidance

      Just recently had a 10 pinion differential axle gears lose their teeth as shown in this picture from a post in 2014.  
      Was wondering if others have had this happen and if they determined the root cause and corrective actions.
      I am considering replacing the two axle gears and five pinions that were destroyed but did not want the same thing to happen again.
      I assume the failure was due to a worn cylindrical spring that I also plan to replace.

      Been looking at a lot or Raiders and Chargers lately and was wondering if they all have LSD? I know most of them did but I was wondering if some of the later models might have had the Uni drives instead ? 
       
       
       
      Thanks, Robbie.
