Lawn Ranger kid 14 #1 Posted November 26, 2009 I have been looking at a running comando 8 it has all the original paperwork and is in excelent condition. I would like to know what i should watch out for on these tractors. Owner is asking $300 is that a good price for it. Thanks Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clintonnut 126 #2 Posted November 26, 2009 I sold a C-8 a while ago. They are good tractors. Just make sure it doesn't have an engine knock and the transmission doesn't leak. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #3 Posted November 26, 2009 Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. One thing I've learned thru the yrs. is this, once at the owners house and you've decided you want the tractor always make sure too ask if there is anything else that goes with the tractor. Just this past weekend when I popped that question the owner gave me a whole bunch of things he might not have if I didn't ask. One of the things he had was the original cart, which I didn't take because it was whooped. If it were a nice one and I left it there without asking what else he might have that would have been a bummer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #5 Posted November 26, 2009 I would hope you're talking about a Commando 8 garden tractor with the K-181 Kohler horizontal shaft engine. The price seems a bit high to me, but so have quite a few more lately. :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawn Ranger kid 14 #6 Posted November 26, 2009 I forgot to add that it comes with a snow plow and a rear discharge mower deck. Thanks Josh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suburban 550 28 #7 Posted November 26, 2009 Josh, it sounds like a pretty decent deal. If you like it and really want it I would say go get it. There aren't that many out there you can get for free. Good luck on your decision. :notworthy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
