TJ5208 1,824 #52 Posted February 22, 2021 Okay I got the front weights done so check out my YouTube channel and I will have to put longer bolts for that that goes probably all the way through carriage bolts so it'll hold it better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #53 Posted February 22, 2021 I'm not sure what model it is but it's a Raider 10 and it's in pretty good condition it's been sitting for a few years but I'm hoping I can maybe swap it out for the peerless I pictures of them could help anything could Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donor Raider 10 what are you putting it into??? Anything using a peerless would not be a easy candidate for transfer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #55 Posted February 22, 2021 800 special new pics first time in snow since I got him in thinking about sticking concrete blocks in between the transmission and the frame I'm hoping that will help if I can put them out to slab concrete blocks in there so that'll easily weight like 80 or 60 lb did good in snow front end gets pushed alout tires spun a few time I'm happy with him did this just now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen a Peerless in a with a horizontal shaft engine. If the mounting plate is the same as a uni drive tranny, your planned swap might be fairly easy.

Lane Ranger 10,968 #59 Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Yes the 800 special is a kind of unique Wheel Horse! My brother has one pretty original! I think it was a 1972 or 1973 tractor that Wheel Horse had a strike and so only managers were available to assemble tractors. The 800 special had a 9 hp Briggs motor and a special Peerless transmission. The rear frame on the 800 special was different also to accommodate the Peerless transmission. This is all documented in the Mike Martino book, “Straight from the Horses Mouth”! Edited February 23, 2021 by Lane Ranger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #60 Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) I'll get pictures I'm at Menard's right now so the tractors made in 1971 and it has a 8 horse Briggs & Stratton engine on it so I get will get pictures soon Edited February 23, 2021 by Tj salyers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #62 Posted February 23, 2021 Any thing is doable given time, money, stuff and skill. But putting a Raider tranny on this machine would not be a quick easy project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #63 Posted February 23, 2021 I just asked my dad if I could fill my tires are the antifreeze and he said no so I'm going to try to fill in pool water I guess why you saying that is because the tires won't hold is there so old so maybe if I just use water it won't waste much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #64 Posted February 23, 2021 Do you guys think I should just stick with the Peerless or swap because it seems nice and sturdy and I can cut the concrete blocks in between it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,741 #67 Posted February 23, 2021 This is the best pic I could find right now as to how a Gear Transmission like on a Raider would mount to a WH frame. Significantly different than the Peerless mounting... Regular trany bolt frpm th e front of teh tranny directly to a plate on the end of the frame. The peerless mounts from the sides. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #68 Posted February 23, 2021 It will make him weight more and more traction with duals the peerless has a big axle do that will help fill a back fours maybe if I can get duals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raider has a bigger engine and much stronger transmission. It also does not look too bad in the picture, kind of hard to tell with the stuff around it. Your 800 is kind of a rare set up with the peerless transmission, this may add value to it down the road. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ5208 1,824 #75 Posted February 25, 2021 Text Diane I might think of that if my dad will give it to me I will probably just leaving saying for my heavy worker so I'll see what happens it's in Nice condition to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
