Raider 10 Snow Plough Restored!

Recommended Posts

Charlie Smith

Hello All,

Hope everyone is well, over here in the UK winter is coming soon. The met office have said snow is meant to hit Scotland early Wednesday, with all these winters getting worse and worse every year, I have finally managed to get a snow plough........ Looks like more fun this winter for me! Anyway when I purchased it, it wasn't in its best condition.... But it was reasonably cheep at £75.00 (GBP) however it was usable how it was, but... Seeing I had a few spare materials laying around I figured I'd restore the blade, this is the outcome,

Looks great! Is the bottom edge metal or a strip of thick rubber? Do you have weights or chains for it?

The bottom edge is a thick rubber skirt. To save the metal from wearing down, it's a HGV truck tyre, we cut it to size,...I have made a custom weight box on the back that goes 55lbs, however I'm still looking for wheel weights, and chains are on order ready for this winter.

Charlie,

             Looks like you are all set for the Winter!  Nice front weight!  The bottom edge does look like rubber, I chose to use a 3/8 UHMW plastic bar sandwiched between the wear blade and the blade. worked great last year as we only got 4-5 plow worthy storms but all were 2-3 inchs...not enough to use the snow thrower

looks like the 42 width fits perfect in the shed!  if you get a 48....you might have to stretch it!!

Well.... I hope I'm all set... Let's hope we don't have loads of snow so I don't need one of them snow throwers... Aha plastic sounds like a good idea, when I cut this rubber strip I also cut out 2 more.. So if it ever wears down, just change it in 5 minutes, and yes thankfully it fits just lovely in the shed.

      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.
