MacGarage 13 #1 Posted June 25, 2012 Hello from Southwestern Ohio! I have a clean little Raider 10 that is mostly original with the exception of the seat. I mainly use it for some rolling, aerating, and as a snow plow for my 200 foot driveway. I already sandblasted and painted the plow frame. Since it runs so well, I am debating about tearing down the tractor too but I do not see it in the near future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,318 #6 Posted June 25, 2012 Welcome. If your going to tear it down your should get another to use while the Raider is getting a re-do. Mike............ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacGarage 13 #9 Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks all...unless I have too, I do not see tearing into the little Raider. My pull was an assortment of pieces, hence the paint job. I am also making a 100 pound weight holder for the rear hitch. I do have to say, it sure has some pull! This will be the first year I will use it for snow, that is if we have any snow this year again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacGarage 13 #19 Posted February 16, 2013 Well, my 1968 Raider has really done a great job plowing snow this year. The weight compared to Husqvarna tractor made a great difference. I ended up adding a homemade weight bracket that has 85 pounds and never had a problem with tire spin. Using some old weight lifting weights = free. I have about a 200 foot driveway, a turnaround, and parking pad. This year's winter team...Husqvarna retired for winter. Weight bracket: Horrible security camera photo plowing about 6-7 inches of snow and 1 foot+ drifts without a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
