Victa did make some for export with bail bars, to be quite honest (dont take offence here) I rarely bother buying or fixing american machines when they come up here due to dead mans handles and the fact they arent really built well enough for our conditions.
I had an mtd base like that, I think I gave it to somone in the end as I didnt like how the wheels had to be removed to adjust the height. I like a mower that has a handle for adjusting the height and just a throttle to control the engine.
