Travja 0 #1 Posted October 10, 2017 Hey everyone I am new here and just picked up my first Horse. I am in the process of restoring it and need a few parts I have a 1968 commando 8 I was driving around in rural Indiana and came across a mower salvage yard they have a wheel horse 607 in great shape. I am curious if the drive belt cover from the 607 will fit my command 8. I looked at both owners manual and both part numbers are different but they are both short frame tractors I know other models have the same part number that will work any help will be appreciated. Pictures below are from when I got it last year and the other is almost restored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,730 #2 Posted October 10, 2017 I believe the 607 had a Tecumseh engine, and the Commando has a Kohler. The difference may be in where the cover attaches to the engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 49,486 #4 Posted October 10, 2017 Only one way to find out for sure ....go git the 607, bring it home and try it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,409 #5 Posted October 10, 2017 Bob's right, thats exactly the difference. Save yourself the headache and get the right belt guard that will bolt right up. 855/856/857/ another commando 8.... that's what to look for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
