Followed up the Trailblazer 7 purchase with another good CL find. This one is a REALLY good one. Picked up a 68' Raider 12  That came with wheel weights, chains, 48" deck in insanely good condition, and a dump cart with hydraulics! I'm not sure if the cart is an actual Wheel horse, it could be but the tires aren't right. Obviously the hydraulics aren't original. Either way, I paid the equivalent of buying the cart and wheel weights at Fair market value. I couldn't believe it made it past 24 hours. Nice to know I don't have much competition in the area! 

Couple of questions on the setup of this beast. My buddy thinks it was a pulling tractor. It has the rear wheel hub extensions (which I don't mind at all. Looks slick if you ask me), it also has a modified throttle body which works fantastic and is a thousand times better than the twist-lock cable, it had a homemade steering tensioner at the base of the steering wheel made from a spring and half a coffee can lid to protect the paint, and the footboards have extensions off the front sides. The fella I bought it from got the tractor from his uncle who I'm guessing passed away because he didn't have much info on the tractor at all. He wasn't sure why things were setup like they were. Certainly explains why the deck is pretty much mint. I swear those blades are original. Overall, the thing runs like a top and purs like a kitten with the modified muffler. 

Will the 48" deck mount up on my attachomatic setup on my 69' Raider? That's the other thing, take a look at this rear. There are no latches.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Sure appears to have been looked after.

Looks like it has longer axles.

It definitely has spacers. I just don't know why?

She looks  good in her work clothes.    The wide rear may have been for clearance when using that wide universal drawbar.

 

What is the added on white lever above the PTO lever ?

Looks like you have a earlier 68 Raider 12 like mine that doesn't have a battery ignition with external coil or the other breakerless ignition but you have the more rare magneto behind flywheel instead.....I need to compare your serial number to mine original Raider 12 now....

Thanks Ed. Yeah, she's a beaut. That lever is the throttle. You push it forward and she's humming! I love it. You can work those RPMs with precision with that thing. I may make one for the Raider 10.

Let me know what you find. I found my serial number over in the manual section for the 12's. It says "In Pennsylvania". That's wild. Never knew you could track them.

I just added it after you posted the photos. Added the location because one serial number lower is in the UK. Not often we see consecutive serial numbers.

You got to get up real early to beat Garry to the punch.   :handgestures-thumbupright:

      Raider 12 replacement battery winter
      By mmmmmdonuts
      My cheap-o walmart U1 battery is starting to bite the dust again (barely able to crank it over fully charged, and ozzing everywhere) after 3 years on my 68' Raider and I am looking into a new battery for winter as I now have a plow setup. I was thinking of either getting the original 22NF battery that came with it or running a mazda mita battery which is a U1 size. Is the AGM worth the extra money over the 22nF even in the smaller size? I think the vibrations keep killing the cheapo batteries and I am trying to make sure I can leave it out in the cold and not have a problem starting in the winter. It does get down to 0F or below zero every once in a while. I don't think I want to go all the way to a 22nF AGM as it is $200. 
       
      Thoughts?

      when are new piston rings enough?
      By ohiofarmer
      I am picking away at the k series on the raider10. Basically the Piston blew through at the ring grooves as it appears the rings may have had too large a gap. I can feel a slight erosion of the bore where the ring gaps All lined up, but not even close to catching a finger nail.
      I am hoping just hoping out the bore will get it back to round close enough that a ring job will do .
      In any case I can measure the bore and report back. Discipline demands that I do not tear this engine down right now as too many things are taking up my time.
      Just hoping the gurus can offer a bit of guidance

      10 pinion axle gear failure
      By davidtmercer
      Just recently had a 10 pinion differential axle gears lose their teeth as shown in this picture from a post in 2014.  
      Was wondering if others have had this happen and if they determined the root cause and corrective actions.
      I am considering replacing the two axle gears and five pinions that were destroyed but did not want the same thing to happen again.
      I assume the failure was due to a worn cylindrical spring that I also plan to replace.

      Charger and Raider LSD
      By 12 hp Kohler
      Been looking at a lot or Raiders and Chargers lately and was wondering if they all have LSD? I know most of them did but I was wondering if some of the later models might have had the Uni drives instead ? 
       
       
       
      Thanks, Robbie.
