1971 Raider 12 Restoration

Recommended Posts

Slowly moving along. Got my frame in primer. Hopefully will get color on it and a few other parts during the warm temps over this weekend. Fingers crossed !!

 

man is it a lot of effort to get these parts ground down and cleaned up. Credit to all of you who have done this multiple times.

Aaaaaand we’re going back together!!!
 

Special thanks to @ebinmaine for transmission help dealing with the hubs, giving it an initial inspection and supplying me with the necessary parts. I replaced the bearings and seals and it’s ready to bolt back together and get some paint. Then this thing will be looking like some form of tractor again!! 
 

still lots of grinding and paint to do, but it feels like I have advanced the ball way down the field here. Very very motivated to keep this thing going!

^^ the IH red looks nice! I like how it looks a bit darker. I ended up going with the ol regal red on mine (clear coated) and it’s brighter than I wanted but I think I’m pretty happy with it in the end. I noticed that the original color seems to have a little hint of pinkish tone to it, but the IH and regal seem to be pretty pure red.

I believe that pinkish tone is the result of age and fading.
