Commando 800

Recommended Posts

insanespiv

I am working on what I believe is a Commando 800.  I would like to get everyone's opinion if I am right.  I originally bought it thinking it was a Commando 8 due to the fuel tank and seat labels.  Once I got it home I discovered the ignition switch did not match the wiring diagram for the Commando 8.  Based on model number, serial number, and engine I believe someone replaced some of the body with Commando 8 parts but the working part of the tractor is a Commando 800. Model Number 1 0110 7 - Serial Number 885730.  Engine Model K181S.  

 

Please let me know your thoughts!

 

Thanks!

The model# on the tag 1-0110 is Commando 800. Which originally had smaller tires front and back on it. 10" rims on the rear and 6" rims on the front.

You can change them to the larger sizes 12 & 8 which looks better IMO.

The rear wheels are mounted backwards. The dish should be deep side out on a Wheel Horse.

It looks someone agreed with you as this tractor already has 23x8.5-12 tires on the rear and 16x6.5-8 tires on the front.

Thanks for the information!  I am not sure I can save the rear tires due to dry rot but I will make sure they are installed correctly if can save them!

Basically turned it into a Commando 8 as I don't believe there were much differences besides the tire size and the decals
