Hi Everyone,

I saw this listing on Facebook. I'm thinkinit's it's good for a restoration project. What do you think and how much this worth?

Cheers,

I would only take that for tree if it was delivered to me, only a mug would pay for that. At least you know the coil was working

Honestly, I don't think its worth two bob.

I see better mowers than that at the tip for $20 or on the curb for free.

If they neglected it enough for the carby area to catch alight, they surely have never cleaned the deck, changed the filters, etc

Its a mid 80s commando - this is mine and it cost $12 at the tip

I've got two in better condition I'm considering disposing. Do you want them?


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

Closer to under half that, particularly with the Northconnex opened albeit at total ripoff tolls.
It's Gosford, not Newcastle.

They are actually lower tier models I've got with the cheapest cover that exposes more of the motor but essentially the same mower.
