Rhett26 2 #1 Posted December 18, 2019 New to forum. Looking at older WH, saw this on CL. Owner has no idea, can get more pics if needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 73,015 #2 Posted December 18, 2019 Pretty sure I can see a starter generator in that picture which dates it to 1967 or earlier, usually. Also a six-speed transmission. That's about the time they started using those. Other pictures would help.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rhett26 2 #4 Posted December 18, 2019 Thanks for replies. 1 more pic. Would like to revive older WH to mow <1 acre yard. Seems to me WH mowing decks hold up well and auto tractor may be way to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 73,015 #5 Posted December 18, 2019 Automatic versus manual is certainly a preference issue. I tend to prefer the manual transmissions but I also don't have a lot of areas where I need to switch in and out of gears on a constant basis except for plowing. I don't mow so I can't really speak for that. If you have a yard that you don't need to change directions constantly a manual will serve you just fine.

Stepney 2,354 #8 Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Seems an almost identical machine showed up in a question of ID. My vote was a 10/1267 or a Raider between 68-70.. That hood is 100% post 1970. A few things off though. After 68 they added full length footplates, a 3 spoke steering wheel, but did away with the generator starter. Some early Raider 12's did have full boards and a genny.. however the hood is wrong. That 2 spoke wheel looks to be the smaller one, and that would tell me 1965-6. 67 wheels are lager and a little different shape. That dash also has no headlight switch location, further pointing to a 1966/7. ..A proper mutt if anything. Must have been Johnny Cash's mower. Curious what the ID tag would say.

stevasaurus 23,307 #9 Posted December 18, 2019 It's newer then 1967...running boards. 1968/69/70/71 and 1972's were all Raiders with the 6 speed 10 pinion LS. Also the stripes on the hood make it like 70/71. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also the stripes on the hood make it like 70/71. The steering wheel, generator, and dash point to something earlier however. Have seen a share of 66-7's 'dressed up' as newer models. An engine swap is one thing, but the entire dash? Do my eyes deceive me or does it also have an odd looking clutch pedal?
