This will be my build thread. Today I stripped down everything that will be custom, including the back fenders and the side metal.
I've done a lot of work mechanically to this, and it runs just like it came off the lot. Idles down to 380RPM's, runs smooth at 1400RPM's. 8HP single cylinder Kohler. 8 Speed gear box. Hauls ass for a little single cylinder tractor.
Wheel Horse didn't start making the Raider until 68 and then it was only a 6speed gearbox and besides the body work screams early 70's...funny you are doing this I started my tractor build in the winter! hahaha
I remember when TNN used to have the cool Friday night line ups of monster trucks, rodeo's and lawn tractor racing, I think you should pimp that thing for some high speed mowing.
I think it's a build off then...I rebuilt my gear box, CHip Wheeler sand blasted every thing for me and put a 12hp instead of the 8hp...I don't have a mover deck for mine though. Hopefully I'll have mine done soon, it's only been like 6months...hahahah! this is how mine started...64 Wheelhorse Lawnranger
