Hi Millzy, LRT, MF, Norm and Paul_c, SG and Mod CJ,

I don't know why anyone would consider those cheap steel style pressed bases with the top mounted handle bar that I consider to be the worst engineering design in lawn mower history. This is all planned obsolescence IMHO as when the mount area is flexed enough by the handle bar over time and fatigue affects the steel then corrosion is the next step, all of a sudden one day your handle bar is no longer connected to the base but only in your hand.

This situation can be negated by consistent washing after each use but in the end the inevitable is inevitable.

And what really grinds my gears is that Victa will not change this issue and are still to this day making those shitbox chassis'.


Cheers,
BB.

I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
