JimD 3,347 #1 Posted May 26, 2009 today i found a wheelhorse commando 8 for sale. the tractor has surface rust, and the paint is faded. it's complete, with deck. the sheet metal is all there and pretty straight, still has decals on it. the sign on it says $250.00. i haven't been able to reach the number listed on the sign as of yet, so i don't know if it's a runner. i did some reearch and found that these were made in 1968 and 1969. so, i would like a few opinions on the value of it. i know oics would be helpful, and i'll try to get some if it's ok with the owner, but in the meantime, please give me your thoughts. thanks..
