This one was cheap in the UK.
Max, I have had an email alert out for a Victa Lightweight/Compact on ebay for over 2 years now, this is the first and only one that came up in this time but it was a 3.5hr drive away on a good day (175 miles), just a tadge too far away for me.
Ok thanks Gadge, I will keep my eye out for one just out of curiosity, kicking myself for not grabbing the one I was offered, he probably only wanted $20 for it and it looked in reasonable condition
I think I have mentioned it before Norm but back in 2003 I got my 1st Lightweight. This mower was in fantastic condition but sometimes it made a strange growling noise when I gave it some beans, I suspected that this was bearing noise and as I couldn't get replacement bearings I took it to the dump in the end. My heart sunk when I read a post on here a few years later (which I think was by Markelectric), it ends up he had the same problem, it turned out to be a slipping blade plate..!! I just cant forgive myself for that.
