wesley 32 #15 Posted February 6, 2008 Well thanks for the great welcome , at last have found a site where l feel at home , as for me l come from england and live in the county of kent, my raider 10 came as a non runner and with the following faults so l was told , it wont charge the battery, the two front wheel rims are in a very bad way with rust so would like to find a another used set, and the gearbox it jumps out of all the gears, but today have found another complete gear box that is good but will repair mine so l have a spare, engine etc l will strip right down and rebuild anyway, and if l can be of a help to any one in here then just shout . regards wes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #16 Posted February 6, 2008 Yes, Wes!! Sounds like you're well on your way to getting your Raider back in shape! if you're in need of manuals, check the links at the top of the "Wheel Horse Tractors" section. There is a links list, and there are links to the yahoo groups where you can download a ton of manuals for free. and sorry... Buzz... something's different.... hrrmm.... did you do something to your hair? I just can't place it. Do tell... you know how we all like to talk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #17 Posted February 6, 2008 Evening Wes, another kent WH fan Im in Paddock Wood near Tunbridge Wells, where in the garden of england are you? I have just restored a Raider 10, but i took a risk that the engine was good. Shame it turned out to be very worn, so the poor old raider is under a dust sheet awaiting a new engine <_< If you need any advise with your resto, feel free to ask away.

Buzz 502 #18 Posted February 7, 2008 Hey Wes, glad you took our advice and came over, here are a lot of good people here. there are a lot of good people on the yahoo groups also so keep checking them out also. Now our big problem is to figure out how to get you, Jim, and Ian over here for the Wheel Horse show in June.......... [buzz... something's different.... hrrmm.... did you do something to your hair? I just can't place it. Do tell... you know how we all like to talk! ] Good eyes Jason, most people didn't notice that I parted my hair differently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #19 Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks Buzz, I couldn't decide if it was the hair, or if you got new contacts! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mith 2 #21 Posted February 8, 2008 Was, welcome. I probably have a pair of front rims and tyres that will suit, let me know what size you are looking for and I'll check. Buzz, I'm toying with ideas about the WH show, little more than ideas so far though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
