Nothing wrong with its looks MF - especially compared to the garish Victa Thunder

Back when mowers were designed to cut and catch - not a compromise for looks.


Was in Bunnings this afternoon (my apologies to Norm if he reads this - the bloody tap has started leaking again, needed a cartridge) and looked at the new mowers coming in.

In a few years, Norm will like the little Chonda's that are on the Cheetah - 127cc, Primer carb that takes a Briggs Quantum bulb, top mounted foam filter (no expensive hard to get Sanli paper ones).

Might be good for when the Lawn beetles run out - although a few cc smaller, so will have to throw on a 4 blade set up and see how it goes. Weird thing is the dipstick isn't a screw in - it just pops in and out like a car one


Worth noting we have SFA in the way of new petrol mowers due to freight issues (melb to perth supposedly - more like Goungzhou to Australia).

Ryobi, Homelite trimmers, Masport or Victa Petrol anything.

Eg - this is the only 'Victa' on Bunnings website. https://www.bunnings.com.au/victa-20-hurricane-mulch-or-catch-mower_p0115832

Your garden variety Blue Victa 'Classic Cut' with mid size briggs is just not around

All the more reason to keep old Rovers going
