John_ 13 #1 Posted November 13, 2018 I'm so glad I found this forum, so much information! Years ago I purchased a used WH Raider 10 that was in pretty bad shape, but I was able to keep it running. Two months ago, I finally decided to replace it with a new one. I started looking at what was out there and realized my 1970 WH was more user friendly than the newer ones. I found another Raider 10 on Craig's List and I'm now in the process of switching out parts to make one good tractor! 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were built to last and there is a remarkable interchangeability of parts from tractors that are a decade or more apart. We all learn from our experiences and from each other so please share your journey. I live in the far western corner of North Carolina. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
