Hi Mate i am sure that victa made Automatics up in the 123,124 and 125 thousands as my auto has never had the engine off the deck and was all original before i started the restoration and its number is 123 thousands, and my mates mower which is a original Automatic is 124 thousands and if the engine was rebuilt you would think it would have a lot later engine number!! unless it blow up the first time they used it?? and i have seen plenty of other Autos and ex autos with the bolts still on the deck with the engine number in the early 120 thousands,
Thanks Kyle
