Hey peoples,
So, after a trudge into Sydney to the state library, and having the lovely staff running around their onsite storage for over an hour, I can safely say that there is NO proper technical parts list, that shows things like bolt specs, etc, in their collection for any of the early Victas.
I have done a Hail Mary and sent an email to Victa, but after speaking to someone there today I think all hope is lost. Apparently they managed to destroy almost all of their historic archive of technical drawings, manuals, and other materials relating top the models up till the mid 60s during their last move.
The only other faint hope is that somewhere out there on a shelf in an old workshop or mower repair shop there is a copy of the parts guide for the early models.
This is really disappointing on many levels. The biggest for me is that I was hoping to be able to produce and sell packaged bolt replacement kits for each model. That’s now a no go as I only have a 5 special so I have no way of knowing what bolts the others need.
Does ANYONE have this old parts list?? I really am begging.
