WHNJ701 4,165 #1 Posted July 26, 2020 last weekend I took the commando 6 out for its final run. time for the ugly caterpillar to turn into butterfly, still have some motivation after finishing up the case tractor, today I took it all apart, surprising how much of a wheelhorse fits in milk crate, saw too it had a spot for cigarette lighter, I will add this one from a 65 mustang that I have 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not, call on us. a few pics I did take since it has a replacement just so I remember which holes the cables where in. this is nice thing about these older wheelhorses, you pretty much can reassemble them blindfolded 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #8 Posted July 26, 2020 took the seat apart, the covers are easily salvageable, removed a bag full of gross seat foam crumbles. with some minor repairs and new foam the seat should clean up real nice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
