Does anyone know what model or year this is?

It is up for auction and I don't have any other info available.

From what I can tell from pictures it may be an 856 (66),857 or a 867 (67),Rick

A bigger picture and we might be able to guess better, but it looks like a 8hp Kohler, short frame tractor, it has the narrow fenders so from 65 to 67 for a year, and has the wrong decals on the hood

OK I blew the picture up I'm wrong on the narrow fenders, and it looks like it might be a commando 8, so a 68 or 69

68 only... no commando 8's made in 69.... and I agree that's what it looks like to me. model 1-4831.

I pulled this from the model list we have here,

1-4832 1969 Lawn & Garden Tractor Commando 8 4-Speed Kohler K181S-30108D 8 Wheel Horse 5053

That is interesting... wouldn't be the first time that list has been wrong. (or me either! )

I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, just stating what I read and that might be wrong???

Hopefully I make it to the auction tomorrow. Even if I don't win, I'll at least get a close look at it and find out for sure what it is.

They are also auctioning the snowblower attachment for it too. Wish me luck!

Thanks for all your insight! :thumbs:

I get to the auction when it started at 2pm. Check out the tractor, but couldn't find any model or serial number on it. There was a faded sticker on the side that said Commando. Unfortunatley I couldn't dedicate probably about 4 hours to stand there to wait until they got to the larger items. My wife would not have been too happy with me! Oh well, the search continues!
