Hello ODK History Lovers

The second most successful lawnmower company in Australia � by the end of the 1950s �
was Pace Mowers. They held an increasing market share, and were embracing the new
range of Villiers engines specifically designed for rotary lawnmowers.

History records that Victa�s Mervyn Richardson �secretly� purchased Pace mowers
from John Longhurst (the founder of Pace Mowers) in order to control the market
in 1959. Pace was given leeway to develop lawnmowers separately from Victa for
the first few years. Credit to Victa for this.

This Parts Manual dates from about 1963, a couple of years before Pace � as a
distinct lawnmower maker - would lose its engineering autonomy and be subsumed
under the Victa umbrella � when �Pace� would become just another Victa brand name.

I hope this manual will be helpful to collectors.

The rest is history.
