WoW! Hello everybody!! Real nice welcome!
Craig, story behind the commando is......I pulled into a......uh.........J.D. dealership (am I aloud to say that name here?) and it was sitting outside next to the building. It really was loveat first sight, seriously. I thought it was the best looking little tractor I'd ever seen. And, it looked like it could be used as a minesweeper it was built so heavy. I went in, talked with the salesman. Yes, it had just been traded in. Yes it was for sale. I made the deal on the spot and took her home. That was over ten yrs. ago and other than change the oil and air cleaner she's just the way I bought her. I just did get arouhnd to changing belts this past summer. Best running piece of equipmet I own.
