Snowthrower attachment for 68 Commando 8

[JR Pedersen 13]

Does anyone know if there's one of these available for the 68?

I've done a lot of searching and no results.

Or is there one from another model year that would work?

There is one model listed in the Implement Interchange Chart in that section...

Good info there Garry, as usual.

JR - try to avoid the early models prior to 1965 - those had some inherent design flaws thar were addressed in the 1965 and later models. If you do get an early one with only one chain idler sprocket DO check the condition of the teeth on the welded-on gear of the auger - those are prone to stripping off..... Not a showstopper, but time consuming & costly to upgrade to a second idler & longer chain to improve the number of links in contact......

Thanks for the helpful info...in searching I haven't found one for sale yet...makes me wonder how hard it would be to fabricate a snow plow blade?

Winters here in NE Indiana can be harsh so looking for something to clear the drive/sidewalks with...

I would think you are in a good area and plow/snow blade should be rather easy to find.
