I bought a raider 10 by the serial plate last year when I got it home and had a clearerr look I noticed it was originally green from new, the lad who I bought it off had in his words given it a quick coat of red . The metal work is in excellent condition no rust at all , so I have tested stripping the red off with chemicals to reveal the green underneath making it back to a Norlett tractor . Such a pity he dawbed it in home base red .It's my next project after a simplicity 728 .
