Electro12WH 50 #1 Posted July 20, 2017 I have a 42" RD mower deck that I would like to convert to use on a '68 Charger 12. Has anyone done this? Other than drilling holes for the older brackets, are there any unforeseen problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
82Caddy 851 #2 Posted July 20, 2017 Probably easier to convert your raider to an attach-a-matic. Gives you more options for decks/blowers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I converted my 68 Raider 12 to the attach-a-matic system. I don't know if Daveomann still has parts or not but I bought them from him and it was really easy to do. I don't remember if I did a thread but I could dig up what I did if you want to go that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,464 #6 Posted July 21, 2017 Dave has the conversion parts and this upgrade will allow a whole range of implements to be used a lot easier than the old system - my original 1277 had the factory built bracket update kit on it when I first got into WH so I was a bit spoiled . Have converted tons of them since around here , generally use the later model C series bracket that utilizes a longer axle center pin and bolts to the front of the frame - those are the easiest to do on the older models . Works great and allows the range of newer decks with better hangers as well as other implements that use the front bracket system . Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
