meadowfield 2,754 #2 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) look it up on a model list, there are a few to go at yours was 1970 wasn't it? 1-6051, we dated it from the model number and engine serial I thought. mark Edited July 11, 2013 by meadowfield Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Smith 142 #3 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) hmmm my guessing was not correct, :S Thank you very much Mark. Edited July 11, 2013 by Charlie Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,754 #4 Posted July 11, 2013 1969 my guessing was correct, Thank you very much Mark. :D I'm confused, 1-6051 is 1970, is that the wrong number? 6041 would be 1969 with a HH100 engine.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Smith 142 #5 Posted July 11, 2013 Now this is the confusing part,... You're correct the number is 1-6051, and my raider is running the HH-100 but.... The paperwork i have from surrey county council shows that they Registerd it in this country and stamped the date 20th October 1969??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,754 #6 Posted July 11, 2013 only way that would work is if they pre-registered which is entirely possible... If the reg date and number plate show 1969, then keep it as 1969! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Smith 142 #7 Posted July 11, 2013 Yea, okay thank you for your help, ill bring all the paperwork with me to ardingly everyone can have a look at it so. I wonder why they would have pre registered then... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,499 #8 Posted July 11, 2013 The 1970 models were released in October of 1969 on this side of the big pond. This coincided with Wheel Horse's September 30th fiscal year end. This service bulletin originally had the 1969 and 1970 models listed but not separated. I rewrote it so it made sense. There was a mid-year engine change in 1970 http://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/file/1305-wh61-90-121-engine-cross-reference-1970pdf/ Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,754 #9 Posted July 11, 2013 all makes sense Garry! So Charlies is a 1969 and probably one of the very first of that model Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,499 #10 Posted July 11, 2013 1-6051 should be a 1970 model sold in October 1969. Have we seen the serial number on this one? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
