Some of you may remember back early in the spring, Lance found a Cub near me he wanted and asked me to go get it for him. Guy had 3 tractors he was selling with the Cub, but we didn't want all 3...... but then I ended up bringing them all home. 
One of them was a Wheel Horse Charger 9. For some reason the decal says Raider 9, but the model number indicates it is a Charger 9. I am no wheel horse guy, but from what I can figure out, the Raider is a gear drive, Charger a hydro. It has a 10hp Tecumseh engine in it. Well, I decided to try and get it running this weekend. So I did. Worst part was forking over cash for a new group 51 battery, but got a deal on an old stock one from Walmart. Had to clean some connections, and take the starter apart and work on it. It has a few issues that need ironed out, but it runs now and drives. If anyone knows anything about WH's let me know. I found a couple manuals over on the WH forum, but need info or parts break down for the deck.
Here's a video, so you guys know it happened, lol.

Oh, I forgot to say that when I took it across the yard in the video, I figured I'd kick the deck on. Took off mowing, but it was only cutting with one blade. I thought, "Darn, one of the deck gear boxes is bad!" Well, turns out it only has one blade on it, lol. I took the deck off today and let's just say it needs some attention.
