Commando 6

[Eric857 54]

Hi,

 

My Uncle gave me a wheel horse commando 6 (thinking it was an 857), the model that I am restoring for my senior project. He gave it to me for parts but since i dont need anything off of it i am going to sell it and I am not sure what I should ask for it. The machine is in rough shape. It turns over, has compression, is getting fuel, but it doesnt have a spark. 

I was thinking of asking $400 but I dont know.

 

Here she is.

I believe the Commando 6 was only made for one year. (1968). It was powered by a Tecky engine though which made it a little less desirable than the Kohler powered machines of the 60's.

If it is as rough as you say and isn't running, even with straight tins, I think 400 is a bit too much. (IMHO).

The Commando 6 doesn't have the demand that some other models have as far as being a highly sought collectible model... most I've seen trade in the $50-150 range.  If you search back though old posts, I'm sure you'll find several where people said they've bought them mostly around $75-100 in fair shape and running.
