jimt1971 236 #1 Posted April 23, 2009 Here are a few pictures of my 1969-1970 Raider 12. I bought it at an auction for $30.00. The shifter ball in the trans was broken and of course it is a terrible color of silver. I plan to fix it up but not a full resto. I have already switched out the seat and rear fenders for better ones I had. Hope you enjoy. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HorseFixer 2,012 #5 Posted April 23, 2009 Chris I think your right After zooming in on the saved pic that is not a round recoil like on a Kohler! Yep now I see the model # it's a Tecumseh H60-75064B on there! I can't quite make out the serial # can you! :drool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #6 Posted April 23, 2009 I say 502. I kinda like the silver Raider..... but maybe it's because I really, really like the pewter tractors. Edit: "Duh" on me! ! ! ! It says 552 right in his signature. (the recoil starter threw me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHC-125 4 #7 Posted April 23, 2009 The motor looks like its off of a snowblower :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1045 28 #8 Posted April 24, 2009 Is that a chrome muffler on the WH at the back right side. Looks pretty tough from here! Where did you get that from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ 171 #9 Posted April 24, 2009 Just noticed the Impala. Looks great! Is it yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 236 #10 Posted April 24, 2009 Yes, You are all right the one in the back is a 552 with a snowblower engine. The orginal engine went out years ago and that is what I had at the time. And yes that is a chrome exhaust tip on the 657. It needed a little bling. The car in the background is my 64 Impala SS 409. Hope you enjoyed the pics. I have more to come since I found out how to post pics. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buzz 502 #15 Posted April 26, 2009 I had the pleasure of meeting Jim, his wife, and his Impala yesterday at the Farm Fun Day show. I hope my drool wasn't too hard to get off the chrome air breather "She's real fine his 409....." Here's a picture of the proud owner and his Impala. The only thing it doesn't have is an air conditioner. He wasn't worried because they bought some for the ride home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
