G'day everyone,
Cheers NormK and thanks again for all the help mate. I will probably just start with the carby first I think. They are pretty easy to remove and give it a bit of a clean throughout. The last time I worked on one of these G3 carbies was back in 2007 on my other VC-160 hard rubbish find. As long as I can get it to let fuel in to the engine and run i'll be happy and i'm not too fussed if all the governing parts are working, as it looks like it's been patched and wired together anyway.
Also NormK I have heard you mentioning that you can somehow use an old Rover catcher on the back of these? I think I have a couple of Rover catchers out the back of the shed that I found in hard rubbish a while ago. If I can somehow try and use one of these on the back of this VC-160 it would be great. I don't really want to go and modify or drill much on the original deck as it does look like that's one thing they haven't drilled or modified at all. I think the rear flap also looks to be in good original condition on this mower. If you have any pictures or details on how to use a Rover catcher on this mower it would be great!
Hi Mowerfreak, yes those wheels do look like they have brand new tread on them. The wire they have wrapped on the height adjuster looks like it can be removed and possibly I can then move the lever a little bit higher. I can probably bolt in another bracket from their welded on bracket to raise it a little bit more so the deck isn't scraping on the ground so much.
Cheers!
