Looking good, nice shiny paint. I think the oil will be fine.
Raider 12 - re-assembly started
Hey folks,
My Raider 12 is on the path back to operation. I thought I would post some progress pics.
I've rebuilt the K321 with some extra tweaks, and had to split the case to install new shaft retaining rings. It has a five pinion limited slip diff. I bought a gallon of 80W 90 Gear Oil (API Service GL-5, GL-4, GL-3). Didn't really think about it too much, but haven't poured it in yet. Will this do?

Re: Raider 12 - re-assembly started - OOPS!
I'm a little stumped here ... with the gear centered, both tires want to turn to the outside. I've got some pictures before disassembly, and this doesn't seem to be like that.

I will need some spacers for the new wheels.
Anybody know what's wrong with this picture?

A little more progress here.
I had my son count the # of pulley revolutions for each wheel revolution in each gear for Hi and Lo. There is an amazing reduction in Lo-First ... wow.

Re: Raider 12 - re-assembly FINISHED
This Wheelhorse is ready for another 40 years.

Whoever might have been watching this previously, I thought I'd share the final result with you. Work, remodeling a house, raising kids etc. collaborated to make this a year-long project, but it was pretty fun.
Let me tell you, that low gear is unbelievably low. Maybe I'll try pulling some tree stumps out with it.
The mower deck was picked up for $20 at the Wheelhorse show, had a good set of spindles.

AND, we picked up a 702 while at the show. I hope my son can participate in restoring this one:
