Mike333 5 #1 Posted December 3, 2013 Well I tried and I tried,but I can't fight it anymore, I'm going to pick up another Horse today!!!! I was told when I bought my first one that you can't own just one,boy were they right! So I'm heading out after work to pick up 1969 Raider 10. So I guess my question is, is there any Raider "issues" i.e electrical issues, engine issues ext..... I am still a noob so I'm just looking for a little info on this series. Have a great day yall!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irv 115 #2 Posted December 3, 2013 The only thing I have run across to watch for is be careful not to mess up with the electricals, ie: crossing wires or hooking up the battery wrong because it has the "breakerless" ignition and parts (coil and trigger switch) are hard to find and exspensive. Good luck with it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike333 5 #4 Posted December 3, 2013 Electrical is my worst area, is there anyway to update the electrical system on the Raiders with newer parts, I think this one is going to be a worker so I would like it to be reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH nut 553 #5 Posted December 3, 2013 You can switch it over to battery ignition with a set of points and plunger and a coil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike333 5 #6 Posted December 3, 2013 Well I got her home Not in bad shape, odd ball engine though, I guess the original engine threw a rod and the guy put a 14hp Craftsman cast iron engine on it So I guess it's going to be my frankenstein!!! All the sheet metal is in good shape,needs painted, but other than that I got a pretty good deal for $125, mower deck is good, and it also came with a 10hp Techy with a bad rod,he threw in another good rod. So looks like I have my work cut out for myself Just wondering what engine came in these from the factory? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
