JEGibbs 11 #1 Posted August 23, 2014 Can anyone tell me the tractor models or series in order of size? I would like to buy a bigger tractor in the future and would like to know what to look for. Google hasn't been any help in this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #3 Posted August 23, 2014 The largest tractor WH made was the D Series and the biggest of those was the D250 followed by the D200 and D160. The older Auto 18 was also the same size tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #4 Posted August 23, 2014 Nice list AMC. Why does it say my raider has an 8 spd? are they counting reverse gears? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #5 Posted August 23, 2014 Do the numbers pretty much line up with the shear size of the tractor? Say a 520 is bigger than a 312-8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Molon_Labe 731 #7 Posted August 23, 2014 Do the numbers pretty much line up with the shear size of the tractor? Say a 520 is bigger than a 312-8? Tractor number doesn't necessarily relate to size. Another good source of info is Tractor Data.com they list most WH models and can be sorted by HP or year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lagersolut 613 #8 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Someone posed a question to me I couldn't answer - Example C-101 - C-121 ETC C = series or model 10 = HP 1 ??? What does the 1 correlate to ? Edited August 23, 2014 by Lagersolut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,928 #9 Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) I think it's the transmission type. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Edited August 24, 2014 by Geno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldredrider 2,547 #10 Posted August 24, 2014 The "1" series were made in 1978 and 1979. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #11 Posted August 24, 2014 Ok, so what is bigger than the Raiders? Also what series do they fall in? I know they are considered long frame models Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the 1 indicates the engine is mounted on the anti vibration rocker plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPINJIM 1,978 #13 Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) The "1" series has the fuel tank under the rear fender instead of under the hood. That allows the battery to be mounted high where the gas tank was, and allows more room for anti-vibration engine mount, larger engine, etc. Also, makes the fuel cut off valve more accessible.

userj8670 68 #14 Posted August 24, 2014 I to was curious what the Raiders would be considered as. If I had to guess it would be c series? They are the same size right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #15 Posted August 24, 2014 Size of the engine? Size of the frame? Size as in weight? The largest "Frame" tractors were the D series and the 18 Auto. The C series, 300, 400 and some of the 500 series tractors are all the same size. The 500X Series are different designed and much heavier. Before the nomenclature changed, you had short frame and long frame tractors. The long frames are comparable to the later C-series and this includes the Raiders.

JEGibbs 11 #16 Posted August 24, 2014 "Size of the engine? Size of the frame? Size as in weight?" Size of the tractor. Overall Area the machine takes up. Displacement and weight generally follow along with bigger tractors. I'm 6'4" and 250lbs. that's why i'm asking. I feel crampt up on my raider. I need some leg room haha. Ican chew my kneecaps on this thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LFDRET 19 #17 Posted August 24, 2014 what might help. put a seat mount lift and a set of seat springs from a C- sears tractor. This would make you set up higher and be able to ajust your seat back more. they have them on ebay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #18 Posted August 24, 2014 That sollution doesnt involve buying another wheel horse hahaha. I plan on a new seat setup already. just curious what tractor series to keep an eye out for on craigslist 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boovuc 1,090 #19 Posted August 24, 2014 The 500 series and some 400 series have an adjustable seat but it sounds like you want/need a roomier tractor. The D series are bigger but they had their own set of implements that won't fit any of the common C, 300, 400 & 500 series plus the Raiders, etc. They are old and since there were not as many of them made, the parts are a little harder to find and a bit pricier. On the other end of the spectrum are the 520Xi tractors. They are newer, bigger, more powerful, heavier and have more features. But.............like the D series, they have their own implements and since they were not made long at all, they are very difficult to find and much higher in price. You may want to do a seat pan/seat modification for leg room on your Raider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geno 1,928 #21 Posted August 25, 2014 I'm 6' and it's a toss up between the 1054 and the little 68 Lawn Ranger. Why on Earth does the Lawn ranger have so much legroom? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
