Oh no! That's like the one I had where the handle hops out of it's setting from time to time and I realised why I found it on the roadside with the height adjust tied on with wire.

What was the previous owner thinking covering up that beautiful label? It totally blights it's appearance.
You may get it off by using a hairdryer to apply a little heat and then attempt to start peeling from one corner. I have successfully transferred labels to another mower cover that way.
A pick tool can help in getting it started. It has probably helped in preserving the VC 160 label in original condition. Reproductions are available, but the chrome strip is not as mirror like as the original.

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