going to look at a new horse

[stephan07 10]

so i have been told its a commando, but he said it was a hydro. weren't the commandos all 4 spds? also where do i look for the model number and serial on these? any good ways to know what i am looking at?

[Kelly 1,028]

Commandos are stick shift, the chargers are hydro, take a camara post pics, the ID tag should be on the dash tower, right under the dash.

[AMC RULES 36,941]

Do you know what year it is?

[stephan07 10]

the guy who has it knows nothing about it, but for the $10 price tag i am gonna bring it home

[AMC RULES 36,941]

At that price, I would too. Post some picts when you can. :popcorn:

[Sparky-(Admin) 19,439]

Wasn't there a Commando V-8? It was a verticle engined tractor. Was that one a hydro?

[stephan07 10]

never seen a verticle shaft horse really hoping for a regular style one. he has had it sitting for a good measure of time. do these hydro take sitting well?

[AMC RULES 36,941]

For reference...the one you're hoping for.

4831 1968 Lawn & Garden Tractor Commando 8 4-Speed Kohler K181S-30108D 8 Wheel Horse 5053

By the way, it's WHCC's featured tractor of the year at this years big Pa show in June.

[stephan07 10]

well its a charger not a commando

[AMC RULES 36,941]

So...did you get it? :scratchead:

[1maidenfan 201]

For $10 you cant go wrong. Some one will buy it if you don't want to keep it! Decent looking tractor.

[can whlvr 991]

10 bucks,any wheelhores is worth that,but especially a horizontal,so did you get her

[stephan07 10]

the guy is delivering it to me she isnt home yet but she is mine just couldnt get it in my xj. so the price got better $10 delivered

moel number looks like 1-7321 and serial of 420675. it has a kohler k301a spec 474969

[stephan07 10]

68 charger 12 coming home on Saturday

[Confused99 2]

Nice, I just picked up a '68 Charger 9. I didn't get much info on it before I got there either but was happy to see the original cart, deck, chains, wheel weights, and grader blade :)

Is the 1-7321 a typo?

The 1968 1-7231 started production using battery ignition and combination starter/generator.

Mid year they changed to magneto ignition, flywheel stator and Bendix starter but the tractor model number stayed the same.

Interested in knowing what you find the engine numbers are after you confirm them.

$10 = Just the way we like'm! :happy-jumpeveryone:

[stephan07 10]

the engine has a stator but i am not sure it is the orignal motor. it has a yellow flywheel shroud. the other sheet metal is all red tho

[546cowboy 301]

Man I wish I was that lucky! What a find for $10 with delivery!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like that ever happens at my house. Although I did get a B-112 for free a couple weeks ago but that just doesn't compare to that Charger. :text-goodpost:

[bowtiebutler956 649]

Score! I like it!

His Charger, even more so...'cause his wallet is still full of the money. :ychain:
