Theses are blocks to lift the tractor up on one side when setting up the plow. My kinda kid as he's making them on work time!! Better double the height @PeacemakerJack's 12" punisher was cutting twice that depth!! You best stop by my house and get the black Chilton trailer.. best to be prepared when horse rustling...

I know a guy who has an aftermarket pump that is brand new for $25 if you are interested. That's $10 less than I I mean he paid for it. OEM or after market they are both plastic bodies now. Let me know if you need/want it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,766 #11 Posted October 15, 2016 Rp.wh sounds like you have things well in hand. Good luck with the Raider. sign up to be a supporter make pictures easy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,743 #12 Posted October 15, 2016 Go for it Ryan! That will be a sweet multipurpose tractor. You need it for cutting and blowing, plus you can use it for plowing. To me it seems like a win-win. Great job on those plow setup blocks. Those would be super handy, along with a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" plywood to set up GT's at a big (or small) PD! Nice work Pay the money to become a supporter, it is well worth it and then you can post pictures very easily from your phone, tablet, computer, etc with ease. And if you haven't figured it out yet, that's a good thing on here unless you want to see a lot of these in your posts! good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rp.wh 1,103 #13 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Well, it might be a day late being I was pretty busy but Here it is horse friends I finally wrangled my first horse in the trailer with thanks to @WHX8 for letting me use it. Next will be changing all fluids and fuel pump more to come I am sure. Ohhh one last thing couldn't stand it anymore I am hooked, I am now a supporter now!

ohiofarmer 3,370 #15 Posted October 17, 2016 I love the Raiders. I have a 10 that begs to be let outside to work. Make sure that you clean up under those mower belt guards and make sure the belt tensioner can move freely. Congrats on your first horse. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #16 Posted October 17, 2016 Congrats, that looks like a super clean Raider! Looks like original paint? If it is I'd clean it up and leave it be if it were mine... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 51,692 #17 Posted October 17, 2016 Nice score Ryan ... I paid about that for my first horse 30 years ago and that one is in much better shape! I will have a fuel pump ready to go for it plus an extra one for the shelf. We'll go through everything next weekend and get her ready for duty! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,743 #18 Posted October 17, 2016 Ryan--that thing looks super clean. I too look forward to seeing pictures of that dude working. Talk about a multipurpose machine, that thing is gonna be fun to use. I also look forward to seeing you at shows and plow days in upcoming years. It was great meeting you at Jim's PD. Good luck getting it going and into service. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,902 #19 Posted October 17, 2016 Holy cow, you started with a clean one! Welcome to Red Square! I am new here too and everyone has been very helpful. I found it was easiest to become a supporter as well. Randy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rp.wh 1,103 #21 Posted October 17, 2016 Thank you to very one for the kind words! There will definitely be picture and a occasional video definitely snow pictures coming once it become that time. @PeacemakerJack I am also looking forward to going to more plow days next summer and learning more from you. @WHX8 can't wait to get this old horse out of retirement and out to work, can't thank you enough for all the help and getting me hooked! 3 hours ago, Ken B said: Looks like original paint? If it is I'd clean it up and leave it be if it were mine... it is original paint, 2 owner can't beat that. And I will definitely be leaving it alone. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,274 #22 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Ryan, did you figure out what year Raider that is yet? I don't see it anywhere in this thread. I'm guessing 1968 or 1969 because of the 6 speed sticker. That would mean you have the 10 pinion, limited slip differential. What is the model number?? Very nice looking horse Mate.

WHX?? 51,692 #23 Posted October 17, 2016 Looks to be a late 68 Steve... 1-6231, magneto ignition. Yup he's got the 5060 10 pinion, same one I have apart on the bench now. Does look to be real clean doesn't it!?!?!? Can't wait to tie into it on Sunday! Putting a flash drive together for him with service manuals. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,441 #24 Posted October 17, 2016 You can see the bottom of the ID plate below the dash housing in the 2nd photo and the one on the snowthrower in both pictures. Interested in knowing what the serial numbers are also. Garry 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,274 #25 Posted October 17, 2016 Just so you know...the 1968 should have the aluminum differential end plates. The 1969 should have the steel differential end plates. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
