New to the herd Raider 10 Pickup

[jb4249 139]

I found this at a yard sale today. Raider 10 early 70's with Techumseh engine. It starts and runs pretty well, only has 1 speed forward, none reverse. Not sure what that is, the gear lever will not go into any other gears. I removed the pick up bed today and I am going to put the fenders and seat back on. Just a clean up for now. I'd like to find a mower deck for it, but would also need the pulleys. I have a donor transmission fro a 702. I may also use a few other 702 parts to help out.  Looks like it will fit, but will have to see. On part missing is the seat latch. I'll need to find one of them. The lights and cigar lighter work too. I got it from the family of the original owner, he used it to tend his garden.  I like the weights too.

Just took the wood bed off today, it had angle iron mounts and about a dozen 5/16" bolts. Gotta cut grass tomorrow.

Lots of posts on that, remove the "Dogpoint screw" that holds the shift lever in place and remove the shift lever. Take a screw driver and line up the forks, put the shift lever back in and adjust the dogpoint.

Great find!  Never know what you'll find at a yard sale.  I found a C-121 for cheap at a yard sale last summer.
