pfrederi 17,147 #2 Posted October 18, 2020 1-0353 is a 1974 Raider 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,498 #3 Posted October 18, 2020 The model number is just 1-0353. The 9 at the end is not used but if you subtract 5 from that 6th digit you get the model year. 9-5=4=1974. You will see 6, 7, 8 and 9 as 6th digits and they did that with the attachments also. The Raider name was last used in North America in 1972 but continued for the European market a few years. It is a C-120 8-Speed here. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,498 #5 Posted October 18, 2020 1974 C-120 8-Speed model 1-0354 - (1-0354-9) - Serial 99738 is US production - Kohler engine 1974 C-120 8-Speed model 1-0356 - (1-0356-9) - Serial 1036602 is US production - Kohler engine Both are listed on the Belgium list as 1974 C-120 8-Speeds. Service bulletin is a good source for info but both the 1-0353 and 1-0354 are listed for both 1973 and 1974. Hard to nail it down. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
