Would the Pace branded Victa high arch from the late 1970s been a result of a similar arrangement as the high arch "Victa Monaro". My late gran had one of these Pace branded high arch mowers. The Pace "banner; was also imprinted on the thumb latch catcher itself.

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