Sold the Raider....Sad day but.....

[Confused99 2]

I unfortunately had to sell the Raider today. I did keep the deck, attachement hookups, and PTO setup as he is only using it to pull a trailer plus it helped him on the price. Anyway, he didn't have a trailer so I offered to haul it over to his house. After we unloaded it and put it in his garage we started talking and I noticed an small engine sitting on the floor. I asked about it and he said his neighbor gave it to him before he passed and was told it was from the 30's?? I made an offer and we negotiated a little and next thing you know I was loading it up. It appears to be a Lauson Model RSC. I really know nothing about it but thought it was pretty cool looking. I even got the manual and parts list with it. The only thing wrong/missing is the fuel bowl so if anyone can point me in the right direction for that I would appreciate it. Let me know what you think and what you might know about it.

Nice looking original lauson!!! The glass sediment bowl is the same as the ones

on the WH round hoods. If ya can't find one I might have a extra one.

Interesting, yes, I would be interested if you had an extra to sell. I don't believe the wire keeper is there either unless it mounts another way?

So, in a very odd twist to this story, my wife and my best friend got together and started doing some digging. They both knew I was very bummed that I sold the Raider and decided to call the guy I sold it to and see if he would sell it back. As it turns out, he would ....only one problem <_< . Since I dropped it off, he decided to put new tires on it . It had a nice set of WH logoed tires on it. To add to that, he ended up pulling the axle shaft out of the trans somehow also . I am not sure what else had been done to it. I am going to pick it up this afternoon and will post a report with pictures. I am actually very excited to get it back and also looking forward to getting it back up and running. My wife and friend said I can't ever sell it again

Jason,you are lucky to get the Raider back!,Rick

I completely agree and also feel bad for the guy I sold it to but after he broke the axle he really wasn't sure what he was going to do with it. Guess I will get my first "inside the trans" experience :D
