McGrew 460 #1 Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) I am getting ready to order hood decals from Vinylguy for my 71 Raider 10, but am confused which length is correct. Vinylguy offers a decals set for the Raider that is 23 1/2” long. He also offers a set for the Electro and Charger that are nearly 28” long. I measured my hood, and either set will fit. I looked at a lot of photos on the website, and most of the original tractors appear to use the longer decal. Which is correct? Vinylguy, can you weigh in? To confuse things further, the decals I removed that were put on 20 years ago during a cosmetic restoration are a little over 20” long... Thanks!

roadapples 6,983 #5 Posted June 15, 2019 Thought the 72 Raider 10 Had a red and grey stripe on top of hood also... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 11,726 #6 Posted June 15, 2019 The brochure shows the strips but it's likely not all had them. I'd say it's personal preference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe so , but it was in pretty rough shape when I brought it home . Edited June 15, 2019 by Digger 66 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McGrew 460 #8 Posted June 15, 2019 (edited) I cannot speak for the 72 Raider, but this 71 was bought new by my Dad, and it never had a hood stripe. Danny Edited June 15, 2019 by McGrew Correction 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazer7t8 2 #9 Posted June 16, 2019 I think but am not sure that the 70's had the short decals and the 71-72 had the longer decals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McGrew 460 #10 Posted June 17, 2019 Blazer 7t8, Thanks for your input! While I am not certain what it came with originally, I took measurements and found the long hood decals would fit. Right or wrong, the long decals is what it is getting. I ordered them from Vinylguy yesterday. Danny 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
