Solze1267 202 #1 Posted January 16, 2021 Well the new year has brought another tractor into the garage. Just picked up this early Raider 12. Mostly complete and with a little tlc will make a nice mower for me. Little bit of boiled linseed oil shined the original paint right up 6 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71_Bronco 1,072 #3 Posted January 16, 2021 Very nice. Thats a really cool hood decal, don't think I've seen that one before with the "six speed" portion. Does that have one of the coveted 5060 transmissions with the LSD in it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,767 #6 Posted January 16, 2021 @71_Bronco Yes, if original, it has the #5060 10 pinion Limited Slip transmission. It's a 1968. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solze1267 202 #10 Posted January 16, 2021 Couple hours and a couple beers later got it cleaned up pretty good. Still have to finish the deck and wheels and locate a few busted parts but really happy with how it's coming out. Any one know if the amp meter was a factory option? It looks too perfect to be an add on later in life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great looking tractor!! It kind of looks like that amp meter was added on. Normally a factory one would mount flush into the dash stand. I'm not sure if mine had an amp meter from the factory but it did have one when I purchased it. I choose to get rid of the amp meter and replace it with a volt meter. I really like my Raider 12, it makes a great plow mule. I prefer having the old style stirrups over the newer running board foot rests so I did switch them out on mine.
