Kelly 1,029 #2 Posted April 4, 2012 Commandos are stick shift, the chargers are hydro, take a camara post pics, the ID tag should be on the dash tower, right under the dash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Confused99 2 #17 Posted April 5, 2012 Nice, I just picked up a '68 Charger 9. I didn't get much info on it before I got there either but was happy to see the original cart, deck, chains, wheel weights, and grader blade :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,026 #18 Posted April 5, 2012 the guy is delivering it to me she isnt home yet but she is mine just couldnt get it in my xj. so the price got better $10 delivered moel number looks like 1-7321 and serial of 420675. it has a kohler k301a spec 474969 Is the 1-7321 a typo? The 1968 1-7231 started production using battery ignition and combination starter/generator. Mid year they changed to magneto ignition, flywheel stator and Bendix starter but the tractor model number stayed the same. Interested in knowing what you find the engine numbers are after you confirm them. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

546cowboy 301 #21 Posted April 5, 2012 Man I wish I was that lucky! What a find for $10 with delivery!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing like that ever happens at my house. Although I did get a B-112 for free a couple weeks ago but that just doesn't compare to that Charger. :text-goodpost: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
