prondzy 3,867 #1 Posted April 3, 2017 I was out for the afternoon with my wife on Saturday, out for a little shopping and dinner. When on the drive home my phone rang, unfamiliar number probably a solicitor, so i didnt answer. A few minutes later my phone beeps for a message thats strange. So i listened to the measage i was right it was a solicitor, he wanted to sell me a . He said it was a 8hp with a 36in RD deck and it runs the only reason he parked it was because the deck gears were skipping. I told him to send me a pic or two and how much he was asking for it. Best part about this nice little commando 8 is he only wanted $100 for it! Im going to fix the deck and put her back to service mowing my yard. 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

artfull dodger 329 #9 Posted April 3, 2017 Great score, I love mowing with my Commando 8. Does yours have the hi/low range or just the 3spd w/reverse? I have seen commando 8's both ways, not sure which is correct. Mine is an 8 speed and looks to have never been changed or messed with, also has the decal for the hi/lo range and it looks original. Thankfully my deck runs quiet and smooth. Mike the Aspie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
