Seller descriptionUp for sale is a custom built lawnmower with near-new motor. Body is a reconditioned Victa 20 inch with near new slasher blades. Engine I was told is a Briggs and Stratton, though I can't find any info on the motor itself.
I bought this about 3 years ago from a lawnmower specialist who custom built it. It was self propelled but the belt snapped - should be a simple replacement.
The engine was installed brand new and tuned to be extra powerful and it is very loud! I used it for a while before realising that it is simply too loud to be used in my neighbourhood, and it was overkill for my small block.
This has now been sitting for around 2.5 years and has not been started since then. This would suit someone who knows there way around lawnmowers, as I think a little bit of work will need to be done to get it up to scratch again.
Note the catcher is not designed for this mower and does not fit flush.
I paid $500 for this and it has barely been used. Asking $100 for it as is, or possibly might be open to swaps for bourbon/whisky/gin.
