Racinbob 11,034 #3 Posted August 3, 2014 I agree, a 72 or 73. Not a 68. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geno 1,929 #4 Posted August 3, 2014 I have one of those and it's the sweetest running tractor I have. I thought they were only made in 1972. It has all the Commando looks from decals to the correct hood, the tach-a-matic in the front, the short frame and it has the right (small) wheels on the rear but I think the fronts are wrong (too big). You can put the larger wheels on the back as they look better but the hole for the hub in the wheel will be larger than the hub extension on hub flange. Still looks good and most people don't notice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was kinda thinking only 1972 as well but I'm not certain. I put 22.750 x 12's off a 76 B-80 on my grandsons and they balanced out well with the 6" fronts. But the wheel hole was the same size as the hub flange thingy. You just made me go out and recheck though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
