I know all the 1983 Super Starts were still using the old big module.

Hi maxwestern, here's a pic I took of the mower and of underneath showing there are two holes, one holding a small module on top. The large one must have been replaced in the past with a small one underneath riveted in using one of the holes before that failed also. Maybe that's why the mower fit put into prolonged storage before I saved it from going to land fill and replacing it myself, getting the mower operational again.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
