i would guess the little toy thing it has an 18 horse motor and about 6 x 8 looks like a good little play thing bor the boy to learn on

I have a Mod 618 Raidtrac, 20 HP Kawasaki Liquid out of a JD Gator.
I have an Owner/Parts Manual for a 613-618. Might be able to help you out with some needed info.

Hello:
I noticed you had a Raidtrac 1800. I have an opportunity to purchase one fairly reasonable. There is little info on them. Were they designed will and how do they perform: flotation, reliability, well built, problem areas, what breaks and things I should watch for. This one has 140 hours, 1987 and looks good. I could send you images of it if you would like. I am familiar with cats, own a 1200C Spryte, and owned several Bombardier and Piston Bully cats. I desire to use this machine to pull nordic grooming equipment to set ski tracks (compactor bar and roller with track setters weight about 700 lbs. Thank You for your help.

mine is in the process of being built now i need a carb the 18 horse motor seems to run good i think it's going to get replaced with something newer it should pull any thing a snowmachine will and maybe a little bit better steering will be a problem in soft snow with the declutch and brake system i think i would add n electric over hydraulic pump anda steering cylinder between the cat and dragso you can make all but the sharpest turns with power to both tracks .hope this helps you mine is just a toy for the kids and a father son project
