I've read discussions about Wheelhorse doing custom paints on commercial or municipal tractors. There's been speculation that they could have been done by the factory. For a fee of course.

wallfish 16,039 #23 Posted May 10 (edited) Picked up a pretty rough Commando 800 from Paul @PWL216 at the Zag show. Been tinkering after work on it all week. The original plan was to just repower with another 8hp Kohler but one thing about those little 8s, they all want to run. So, spent some time on points clean, solenoid, oil change and a new carb to just to see what's up and got her fired up. Starts quickly, runs smooth and no smoke. A bonus! The hood was damaged a bit so got that straightened out so it fits, some tires with air in them and it's running driving and much better than expected. Some of the guys that saw it might not recognize it now. There's still a bunch of stuff to do but it should be a great little snow plow machine for someone looking for a worker. Citrus paint remover works well for getting rid of that rattle can hack spray. All the decals were covered. The blade that was planned for another little 2 seater rear fender will be sacrificed for this one and I'll find another. Running and driving now and the steering is really tight. Actually drives pretty nice with smooth shifting and excellent brakes. That's just a temp battery on the front of the blade frame for now. Basically a B-80 now Edited May 10 by wallfish 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
