It's a 1973 model. Essentially a B-80 but with smaller rear wheels.

rustyedge1 It is what Mike said the first gen of the B80 Since the 1st year was 74. They have smaller tires witch I hate. I like this tractor with standard tires. Good power and easy to move. Enjoy it.

It's pretty much identical to the prior years Commando 800. 6" front rims and 10" rears. I restored a 1972 800 for my grandson and put 22x7.50-12's on the rear that I took off a 1976 B-80. I liked the look. In any case you have a nice stout machine there and it looks to be in great shape.:)

That is what I am looking into this spring B80 tires. will look good this way. I only have 6-12`s on the back and saw tooth on the front.

Thanks all for the input. I thought it might be an early B-80 type but didn't know for sure. Wasn't familiar with the smaller rear tires. Again thx.
