harryt 281 #1 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) I picked this up today. A wheelhorse 800, it comes complete with the deck, snow plough, sweeper, grass and chevron wheels and some cultivator tines. It has had an engine swap from the original 8hp kohler to a 17hp kohler. I have not had a chance to get it going but hopefully a new battery, fresh fuel and a carb clean. I just wanted to know if this is also called the commando 800 as well as the 3 speed 800. Also do you think it is best to keep the replacement engine or find an original.

harryt 281 #14 Posted January 31, 2016 Got it turning over this morning but no fire, looked at the spark and the spark plugs are not working, just wondered what would be the correct ones to fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryt 281 #15 Posted February 21, 2016 With the arrival of some new tractors I am going to sell the wheelhorse 800. I did not manage to get it running. PM me if interested. Harry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
