I have had this cortina for a while with the intention of restoring it to its former glory. The mower runs well and starts first go. I have changed the seals on the old style fuel tap so there are no fuel leaks at all. As you can see from the photos, the mower is in very restorable condition, the base has light scratches and the rust is just surface, but the catcher will need to be replaced (its just too banged up).
What needs to be done? Apart from cosmetics the mower will need a new throttle lever housing (as the old one is buggered).
What am i looking for? Im in DESPERATE need of a victa twin catcher! i cant find any around! if you have one let me know (even if you are not interested in the cortina), otherwise im looking for new mower blades or bits and pieces to restore my old ATCO 14inch reel mower (mainly looking for the catcher, carby and muffler but im also looking for other parts). let me know what you have!
Also willing to sell this one (make an offer, im not looking to become a millionaire from this sale, but dont be silly).
