Raider 9 repower oil pan question.
Raider69 posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I'm switching my B-100 back to a snowblower for next Winter but I also want a plow tractor so I'm pulling my old Raider 9 out of the 20 years of dust and cobwebs in the far corner of my back garage. It was my snow plow tractor until the HH-100 seized up 25 years ago and it did a pretty good job with just tire chains and no weights. I pulled the engine out and was going to replace it but other things came up and it got pushed further and further down the list. I bought an HH-120 for it several years ago but never got it put in, always something more urgent to work on. After having 2 VH-80's suffer the same fate in my Commando V-8 as the HH-100 did I have zero love for that series of Tecumseh and I'm skeptical about how well the HH-120 would hold up, specially since this tractor is going to get worked hard, not often but definitely hard. I stumbled across a good running K301AQS out of an 80's JD 212 on FB Marketplace, the seller had it listed in an odd category so i don't think may people saw it as it has been on there a couple months and it was priced reasonably. It's the narrow base block so it will require some adapting to get it n my Raider. I did some digging here and in WH parts books and found that the engine mounting plate from certain "C" series tractors would work on the narrow base Kohlers. I picked up the plate, isolators and mounting bars off Ebay for a C-81 from 'shuboxlover'. I quickly realized the oil pan sump on my engine wasn't going to line up with the plate properly without raising the engine higher or modifying the plate...... (Not my actual pan but identical.) After some more research I found that the C-105 used the same mounting plate system but with this narrow base pan......... The question I have now is, will my oil dipper work with the C-105 pan?
