69 or 70 vertical shaft b+s mower

[plowmaster 0]

what is it? the fella didnt know the numbers off the tractor itself, but he swears its an 8 horse vertical shaft briggs, just wondering what it might be so i could do a little research before i go to look at it. he also says everything is original.

when did wheel horse start to use vertical shaft engines? would this mower be built like my a-100, i.e. stamped steel frame? or would it look like my charger 12? i just dont know.

im going to the picture section to see if i cant find an old vertical shafter in there somwheres, as always thanks in advance for any help!

Go to the photo gallery and look at the pictures of the Commando V's and Charger V's. Sounds like that's what the guy has.

that thing looks straight up and down like my a-100, as soon as i find the serial ill know what year it is. mines bigger though, and aint got quite the shine yours got.

thats a good lookin little mower, my buddy was tryin to get me to trade his new deere mower for my recently purchaced a-100, mainly because mine started easier and has better manuverability. ha ha.
