chaney 0 #1 Posted April 25, 2013 Hey, I'm new here and need help figuring out model number of red rider I just acquired! He has a hydro-drive (automatic) 8hp. kolher, and partially restored already. Have not located the model tag yet(could be painted over?) Would it be a 865,866,or 867? Is there an easy way to narrow it down further/ -Thanks, Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,510 #2 Posted April 25, 2013 The 2nd digit will be a 7 for the hydro models with model 875 being the oldest. 2nd digit 6 is 6-forward speeds with a hi-low range transmission. 2nd digit 5 is 3-forward speeds. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 503 #4 Posted April 25, 2013 Pictures will help us identify. Big give away is what does the hood look like round or squarish? Does the seat look like an old implement seat mounted on a big C shaped spring or is it bolted to a fender pan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaney 0 #5 Posted April 25, 2013 O.K. guy's i'll get a few pics. up when I can!!! Seat is newer style(not metal w/spring) I'd say more square hood than round! -Later, Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
