Commando800 32 #1 Posted April 30, 2021 Today I fixed my floor board problem on the 800 cut with it “it cuts beautifully” oiled some stuff so it’s ready to go for next time and got the 520-h in cutting condition. Thank you for everyone that’s helping me on this website if anyone knows where I can find a free manual for my 1971 commando 800 I tried looking on here but they only have a 72 witch is very different. And if anyone would like to know I have info and model number to help. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #2 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Some else may correct me, if I am wrong , only thought the Commando 800 was a one year only in the USA , there is a 1973 Commando for the European market . Commando 800 had a 8 hp Kohler , 3 speed plus reverse trans , 10 inch rear tires and 6 inch front tires ( I am talking rim size) , Electric start with starter, 36 inch SD or RD decks . The seat on yours is not correct , only came with black vinyl seat. Gas tank on the tower. It would help if could provide serial number on your tractor.

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #3 Posted May 1, 2021 I see from another post that your Commando 800 has been identified as a 1972 . Could you explain what is different about your tractor compared to the Wheelhorse manual? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rim size is different also the dashboard the 72 is a little bigger just mainly all body differences I’m not at my tractor right now but those are just some that come to mind thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked under the seat to find the fill/check tube for the transmission oil, and it's not there. Could you take a picture of yours?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #10 Posted May 1, 2021 @COMMANDO 800 Owners changed rim sizes all the time. My guess would be that a previous owner may have place 12 inch rims on rear and 8 inch on front. I have done that . Remember your tractor is 49 years old and sheet metal does get damaged and replaced . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
