JVDWheelHorse 170 #29 Posted March 23, 2016 I found another raider 10 for $300. I need to get the price down but what do you guys think? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,340 #30 Posted March 23, 2016 If it runs and drives OK and the deck comes with it that is a great price. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to but unfortunately I don't have the money, I'm a broke kid I talked to him and he said if he still has it in a couple months when I have some money, he'd sell it to me. What do you think of the raider 10's? Edited March 23, 2016 by WheelHorseKid1843 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,156 #32 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Doesn't sound to bad as long as it has good spark. Those soild state teckys can be priceie if the coil goes bad. Looks like it would clean up nice with sum steel wool and a rub down with sum light oil. Edited March 24, 2016 by slammer302 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I had the opportunity, would you recommend switching to a Kohler motor? 1 minute ago, 953 nut said: If he is close by and has some uninviting tasks that need to be done he may be willing to let you work off the price.

slammer302 2,156 #35 Posted March 24, 2016 the 10hp tecumseh is supposed to be a good engine so i would leave it alone if its running. But if the solid state ignition goes bad i would probably look for a kohler. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chip61 664 #37 Posted March 24, 2016 I have a 12hp Tecumseh on a 1968 SS12 tractor. Great running engine. It had the solid state ignition on it til it died a couple years ago. New ones were not available but I found a source online for a battery ignition system that replaces the old solid state unit. Not bad to install, I think cost was around $120.00 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert 760 #38 Posted March 24, 2016 I have two horses with HH 100 Tecumseh engines and they have been such good runners that even if I eventually had to make an expensive repair I would not swap to a kohler 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
