I've just purchased my 1st wheel horse, it's a '68 commando 8. The first thing I had to do was rebuild the motor because a ring had broken on the piston and was hammering on the the head. The transmission seems in good shape, all the gears work and she drives smooth. With that done now it's time to work on the front end steering problems. The tie rods are worn pretty bad, the tires toe out at the bottom quite a bit, and the spindles rock back and forth in the front axle. So my question is what is the best way to fix all these issues? Would changing the tie rods be enough to get the wheels to stand up straight again? Would changing the whole front end components be a better solution? And if that the case what other models would be compatible with the commando 8? In my searches It's hard to find much for this model. I'll take any and all advice all you experts at rebuilding the machines can come up with, Thanks. The rest of the tractor is in real good shape, someone repainted it and painted over the decals, but you can still read what they said. I'll probably leave it like it is for now. I may want add either a snow thrower or a dozer blade to it after making sure the rest of the tractor is in good shape.
