Can anyone help me with this tractor? It is a Wheel Horse with a Kohler engine. It has a hydro transmission. I am considering it for a restore. I had considered going with an older model but this is close by and reasonable. Is it a good model to restore? Is the hydrostatic transmission reliable after so many years? Lemme know what you guys think.
Thanks

That's too cool! Never seen one in person and know not a thing about them, but I give it the thumbs up! Curious to find out what year and how much are they asking Ted?

Well forget this one, I bought an 854 off of Ebay. I will pick it up this weekend. I am sure I will have a hundred questions. If anybody is interested in this tractor, it is in Goshen, Ohio an he wants $350

It looks either newer or older then my 69 raider 10- has a similar hood and slightly different rear fenders - mine has the full foot rests as well.

That looks like either a 10 or 12 horse, made around between 1963-65. they were called Raider back then. that was the model--meaning raider. I had a Raider 14 that was a 69 model, and it was the alternator versus the generator starter combination. Yes, the transmissions should be just fine.

There's no model/serial number tag below the dashboard on the riser, or on the left side of the dashboard riser?

The raider did not start production until 69. Looks like a 65'ish 1054.

I asked at a wheelhorse forum on Yahoo if my raider 10 was 'rare' by any chance - i was told no. Mine had a 10HP teccy ( with no spark) - it didnt have a generator, had a normal starter and some sort of ign module mounted next to the flywheel - it was missing 80% of its pieces ( including the deck) and severely beat - since it was free - i didnt want to waste any money in restoring it. I actually took it apart to make a modifed tractor out of it in the future.
