PWL216 889 #1 Posted May 5 Yesterday at Zagray I bought a lot of WH dealer manuals, sales brochures, WH school training manuals, stickers, posters… amazing stuff. Going thru the 1972 Dealer Manual I found the price list for what they paid…. 5 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was around 1970 when I bought a new TSC Huskee rider for $950. It was a good mower and lasted for around 10 years but not 50 years like these WHs.

This is a model that used the CCW mower deck blade rotation. The discharge chute was on the left side. Powered by vertical shaft V-80 Tecumseh. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,297 #8 Posted May 5 It is strange that the Commando 800 engine is listed as a Techy. My ole man bought his Commando 800 brand new with a Kohler and all the manuals I have indicate the engine is a Kohler. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,455 #12 Posted May 7 @PWL216 I believe I saw those that you have. Lots of good info to have. Keep them and enjoy them for years. Always handy to have info like this on hand. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
