Pete It is a 42". Would you have any idea of a model #? I would like to get a parts manual. My PTO is the older style. The Raider 12 did not come to me with a deck. My wife has used it to haul a garden cart. The decks offered were vertical belt driven. I added the mule drive to have a better deck selection. I had a Simplicity 3416H 48" left side discharge deck for close to 50 years. I really liked how it mowed. A couple of years ago a Wheel Horse 857 found its way into the garage. I never knew the rear discharge deck existed. It has a 36" deck and it mows as well as the Simplicity. I'm relatively new to the Wheel Horse world. The tractors are simple to work on (at least the older models) the attachments, however, are a bit more complicated.

You saw it first on the inter webs

You bring that to Maine. We'll babysit it for you.

This has sat long enough. 1984 S10 short bed, 305/700R4, stock bore, mild cam, the perfect stance. By 10 am this morning, I had dug into the barn far enough to air up the tires. By noon, Rylee and I had it pressure washed. By 2:45, well…. copy_4308E088-940F-4E64-A79E-0CD621CF6DCA.mov

It has gone up again since yesterday, some people have deep pockets!! I’d say that who ever buys it at a price like that, knows exactly what they’re buying and will treat it with respect and care. I hope anyway!

This came up on a FB group this week. He recently purchased it, asked a few questions, and listed it with the details he learned. It’s exciting to watch, but I don’t plan on throwing any bids at it.

Looks like the blades are too short. ?

What rubber bands? Win for the airplane day - my tail rudder was indeed backwards. Loss for the day - I still can’t take off well.

Puzzling problems with engines just stopping

Pure coincidence that both did it. My guess is what Don said, clogged gas cap vent. Loosen the cap and see how long it runs. If it works, try the GT as well. Stranger things have been known to happen. -
As shown. No wheels or tires. Rust-through in tub and around rim. Could be the makings of something

Good Afternoon All Just acquired rear discharge deck and spare mule drive for the Raider 12. Can anyone ID the deck? I see not tags on it. Once my mid mount hitch arrives I should be able to mount and mow. Also, the hight adjustment has no markings, so I'll ASSUME that you adjust with a tape measure off of the blade tips. Thanks to all who respond

Bought the Chevelle SS a year after High School graduation in 1976 with 17,000 miles on it. Sold it to my BIL who just recently had a new motor built for it along other things. It's much too scary now. It will remain in the family. My nephew will end up with it next. TKS -
Puzzling problems with engines just stopping

I guess that the 416H has an Onan engine, if so the most likely cause of shutdown when hot is the ignition module next to the stator. To test, have a spark plug ready and stick it on one of the spark plug wires and hold the threaded end against a metal engine part while cranking the engine. Do this as quickly as possible after it shuts down and look for spark. If none, wait till it cools and test again. Those ignition modules can get temperature sensitive with age. Maybe your other tractor has the same issue. -
Sold for $10 today. No, I didn't buy it.

Fixed it so it applies to a lot more of us!

Any chance a mouse got into the engines. If they overheat they will shut down. -

Just a quick observation, I would add a small piece of white or clear heat shrink tubing or white tape to that control lever on the bottom picture to keep the bracket from chipping the paint. -

EMP An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a short, intense burst of energy. It can damage computers, power lines, and electronic devices. An EMP happens because of natural events like lightning or solar flares, or man-made events like high-altitude nuclear blasts. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] I suggest a faraday cage while mowing. -
It is still unlawful to feed any wild game animal ( deer, bear, elk, turkey) in Pa. The main reason is the increased spread of disease when the animals are in close contact at a feeding station. The one exception is baiting of deer is legal in well defined metro hunting areas where the numbers need to be safely reduced.

Let's see the fuel filter you're using.
