eibbed 63 #1 Posted July 8, 2009 Hi guys, I drove to St. Louis yesterday to look at a 1971 Raider 10 that had been posted on Craigs list and discovered that a mid mount grader blade was included in the $100.00 purchase price. What luck! I bought the tractor, which is in restorable condition, but I was more excited to get the blade. I have been wanting a grader blade ever since I first saw a picture of one attached to a tractor somewhere here on Red Square I think. The tires are shot, but I have others. I don't know if the 10 HP Tecumseh runs or not or if the electric PTO works. No mower deck, and the grill needs some body work. I'm pretty much a round hood guy, but this old gal may have found a home, she's pretty neat. I'm having trouble with Photbucket again so I will be asking Sparky to post pictures of it for me.

bitten 134 #3 Posted July 8, 2009 $100 grader blade is a real good deal and a free tractor to go with it is even nicer. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scifi4all 6 #6 Posted July 9, 2009 That free tractor really doesn't look half bad and to get a $100.00 grader blade, I am jealous. Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eibbed 63 #10 Posted July 15, 2009 Gentlemen, Once again I could use some advice. The HH100 has no spark, so I'm thinking about replacing it with a 12 HP Kohler that I can get for $150.00 (too much?). Can I switch them without any major issues and will I be able to use my electric PTO on the Kohler? Thanks, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
