octfst 378 #1 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) This picture were my dad's. I grew up on the 753 and he got the Raider 12 in the 80's. He gave me the Raider in 2005 and let the addiction begin. I had to trade a 753 I bought & restored for his 753 he sold to his best friend. Edited July 20, 2015 by octfst 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #4 Posted July 20, 2015 Both very nice! The 753 is a real jewel... Is it all original? Even it it has been repainted I personally would never paint it again, It looks perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
octfst 378 #5 Posted July 20, 2015 It's mostly original. In the 70's dad put a new K181 8hp motor on. I love it just the way it is. I restored the raider in 2006. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammerhead 816 #7 Posted July 21, 2015 Great story Derek and even better to own both of these machines! Glad you got them both. I had a 953 when I was a kid and then we traded that in on a D200! Wish I could find either one of them bad boys! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
