Commando 7 wheel size

[Tommy Graffen 15]

Just about to start a bit of a project with this little tractor and can’t seem to find a tyre size stamped on the rears.I would like to fit a tractor chevron type,any help would be appreciated.

cheers Tommy

Those rears are 6x12’s

what am I missing on that mower deck?  it doesn't look typical wheelhorse?

@jabelman 

It appears to be a spindle mower.

seems interesting

Thanks for the prompt replies they are a great help.The cutting deck looks to have been modified to fit reasonably well.It has a cylinder cutter with a roller(great for leaving lines on the lawn) unfortunally it came with a seized 7hp Kohlar engine .I have a brand new old stock 16hp but it is to tall to fit under the hood.The plan is to build a miniature version of a Massey Ferguson 135 for my grandson,This model of wheelhorse lends itself  shape wise to the project.I will update as we progress the build.

Cheers Tommy

The mower deck appears to be a flail mower.

go to big tyres and order their cheap Wanda 6-12... they work well

 

 

p.s. if you think of ditching those tyres, my son is after a set...

Meadowfield that's exactly what l,m looking for.If its not to much trouble could you give me the overall height please,and l,m sure we could work something out regarding the old ones they are a bit cracked but don't lose any air whatsoever

Cheers Tommy

Interesting little tractor. Looks like someone put a lot of effort into it at one point. The mini-3-point is pretty cool too. Not sure how useful it would be with the manual lift and tiny cable, but still cool none-the-less.

 

 

[Tommy Graffen 15]

to be honest l am just happy that its there as it lends itself to the look that l,m trying to achieve.Your right though it would be pretty useless with a 2 furrow plough hanging from it.

Cheers Tommy

 I did a similar setup with a pullstart Honda but I moved the pullstart mechanism so that I could pull it from the seat.

  Much better than getting off the seat all the time. 
(thought I had a better side pic, but you get the idea)

oh come on you need bigger 26inch wide wheels. LOL I just bought some for my d160

[Tommy Graffen 15]

All completed,very pleased with the results and the grandkids love it.Will not be everyone’s cup of tea but at the end of the day we did save it from the scrapyard and had great fun doing it.

Cheers Tommy

What's that red creature in the background of the last photo?

[Tommy Graffen 15]

That’s a play tractor that me and the grandkids knocked up using GRP panels landrover rear wheels and smaller wheels up front from a ride on mower
