Mloosley78 15 #4 Posted April 16, 2017 Hi no other parts as yet but I'm sure i will have fun finding them. Not sure if it's the right engine as mount holes don't line up So lots to find out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like it will be a great project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if it's the right engine as mount holes don't line up So lots to find out I'm assuming you're talking about the two holes on the right side of the oil pan that are hanging over the frame. No worries. That's normal. The right side has two bolts coming up from under the frame. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mloosley78 15 #7 Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah that's what i was on about. See straight away you guys are great!!!. Ok so engine is off and I'm going to start messing about getting it going.

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,478 #8 Posted April 16, 2017 The Raider name was last used in 1972 for the North American market. It continued at the Belgium plant for a few more years. Garry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mloosley78 15 #9 Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks for the downloads that will help a lot. Thanks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mloosley78 15 #10 Posted April 16, 2017 Ok this is all starting to make a little more sense now so thanks for the input so far. Little deflated as I've gone from what i thought was a 16 down to an 8 hp engine but nevertheless still a very proud owner. I shall keep everyone updated.. well those of you that are interested. Thanks 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,478 #11 Posted April 16, 2017 Your engine looks to be at least 10hp. The manuals listed for this 1974 model are actually the 1973 manuals for 1973 North American models We also did not have a 10hp 4-speed on this side of the pond in 1973 or 1974. Belgium did build a Raider 10 8-speed model 1-0390 and a Raider 14 model 1-0380 but do not know what transmission this one had. In North America it was a 16hp C-160 8-speed.

Mloosley78 15 #12 Posted April 16, 2017 Oh ok. I will have to work it out. I will check the engine for any details that will help me identify it. Lol a bit confusing i guess for a newbie. I will get there tho. Thanks I guessing 8 speed has 2 leavers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol a bit confusing i guess for a newbie. I will get there tho. Thanks I guessing 8 speed has 2 leavers. Yes the 8-speed has a high and low range shifter. R-1-2-3 =4 x2 =8 When the high-low first came out it was called a 6-speed. Then they discover if you included reverse the 8 sounded better than 6.

Mloosley78 15 #14 Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah ok. It's definitely 3 speed then. I will work it out.... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,468 #15 Posted April 16, 2017 To figure out the engine size you can start by counting the head bolts; 7 & 8 HP will have seven head bolts 10, 12 & 14 HP will have nine head bolts 16 HP will have ten head bolts 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mloosley78 15 #18 Posted April 17, 2017 I got 9 head head bolts. I'm going through the engine in a bit more detail today. Good news is the engine turns and has some decent compression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
