N.C. horserider 5 #1 Posted July 6, 2009 I just picked this one up from a guy who said just take it, I don't have the time to mess with it. 1972 Commando 800 it needs a lot of work and to be red again. I don't know who owned it before but that color "well I'll let you say it." So we're off to the races. It has a K181S that he says runs guess we'll find out. I may need some help with parts and so because there is no manual or documentation but it will be an adventure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buzz 502 #6 Posted July 7, 2009 I'd leave it that color and challenge Jerry AKA oldand red to a ugly tractor contest. The model number to look up parts etc. is 1-0110. If you go to Toro's MPV and enter it you get a complete parts breakdown of your beauty. Here's the link: https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm?xCaller=Toro Here's your engine manual: http://www.kohlerengines.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/tp_2379.pdf Enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.C. horserider 5 #7 Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks Buzz I was trying to get that off Toro site but I guess I wasn't putting number in right. Give me a couple weeks and it will be red again thank goodness it's only latex paint and it comes right off. Same color as the airport fire trucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
