I was given two lawnmowers one a Mustang and a Corvette 600 they both look similar. The mustang has a thicker snorkel tube. They both look like from the late nineties early 2000s. Both alloy frame.
Without looking at pics which one is the better mower?
Hi Jeff, Both the same mower, all Victa did for 25 years with that mower was change the plastics and call it a new model. They did a few tweeks to the carby and changed the inlet manifold all claiming to give more power but apart from that the motor remained the same from when it was introduced in the early eighties.. Yours with the alloy body makes them top of the range. Only issue with them is my absolute hatred of the float needles and primer caps but once you get past that problem these mowers still have countless years left in them

But back to the mower, Norm has hit the nail on the head. The only difference is the one with the thicker snorkel will supposedly have more power (negligible in reality though)
But basically whichever one will idle without stuffing around would be the one
As MF said, get both running because you never know when your mower won't start ( float needle and primer cap problems) or you never know when you might need a second mower. They are both too good to use just for parts
The Corvette was given by someone who lives on a small block with very minimal grass. The back and front yard are covered with trees do it gets barely any sun. The yard it full of rocks. The mower wasn't started in three years and the blades were smashed up from the rocks in the yard and also I noticed it was fitted with one of the vintage Victa mufflers which the Victa logo was punched on.
