Sprocket 48 #1 Posted July 28, 2015 So I'm at the shop where I volunteer and one of the guys starts flashing pics of a tractor on his phone..."ya. The guy has this thing and it needs a stahteh - thats starter for you non new englandershe shows me the pic and I say. "That's about a 72 commando based on the stickers and steering wheel". Shows me the engine plate and the sticker covering the model and serial,for the machine. Well it's got electric start so I pop on here and download the reference chart for years and engines. Coulda been a 857, nope wrong engine code. turns out to be a 72 commando 8 as best we can tellits not running so I offered $100, there might be extras like a deck or blower or something. He's got 3 machines total so I may come home with something newOh, and why exactly is this place awesome? Because in 3 months I've learned more about models and options to id old stuff and to find reference materials when I need themthanks All 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
