Body looks in good nick. Keep us posted. I see a ute in the background. Are you keeping that?


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

Hi MF,
I've got it for sale $180 as it has rebore and rings, I just mowed a monster lawn for my cousin yesterday. Her mowerman saw her lawn and drove past....... He didn't have a 43 year old Victa utility with raser sharp blades and rebore.......... it did the job, ran out of fuel on last run....
cheers
speedy

Hi speedy,
most people do not appreciate the quality of these machines, they just view it as an old mower, they have no idea

Hi speedy,
Yep, they're a great mower - I've got the Mayfair Ute version of this one.


Cheers,
Gadge

Hi speedy,
a rebore and new rings? Unstoppable!
$180 is a very fair price to me.

The Victa Vantage, gone to tendercentre

The engine ran smooth and quiet, Don't know what those noises are in video, just increased revs smooth and quiet...
