1971Raider10 1 #1 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Hi Everyone, My name is Collin, I live in Des Moines, Iowa and have a 1971 Raider 10 inherited from my Grandfather. He bought it new in 1971 and it has been used every year since then for either mowing or snowplowing...sometimes both. The old horse is in pretty good shape really, I am working on slowly restoring it but like all projects, it seems to go slower than anticipated. I have attached a couple photos, the first one is of the Wheel Horse in 1993, that's me riding with my Grandpa on it. Over the past few years I have also picked up some various horses, a 1969 Charger V7 and a 1988 314-8. I have since sold both of those, but I will always have the '71 and I imagine I will acquire more over the years. I have lurked here for several years and thought it was time to properly introduce myself. Thanks for having me! -Collin PS:Anyone else on here in Iowa?
