OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Restoring, Customising and Modifying Victa Walk-Behind Rotary Mowers Victa Monaro 4 stroke

Found this one last week.
Had a black starter on it that was no good.
Took the cover off and washed the motor, wasnt that dirty.
Grabbed a white starter one and put that on.

I did all my usual checks, head off etc, put fresh fuel in the tank (had dark red stuff in it but clean) and give it the old tip on its side and it went first pull.
Probably didnt need to do anything other than put the starter on it.

Runs sweet. Looks like its been very well looked after and done little work.


Pulled a catcher out of the pile, best i could find, patched it up. Im pretty sure its the right one.







Pretty good example. Thinking i might put some stupid price on it.

[Censored] that does look quite a good one you have there.

Pretty sweet mower, looks amazing for it's age.

perhaps have a chat to Joe, if he can offer you a swapper that will fetch the same price, he may be keen on it, I know he's quite big on Monaro's.

Ive fixed it now. He would want to be quick.


Joe had one allready
Top right and the Corvette next to it. I think its minus throttle cable, i had to steal it.

Imagine how happy i will be when you guys come and empty out that rack for me.

Well except for the twin and the V40GTS.
And theres a shelf on the other rack too.
And others theres no rack room for.

There would have to be 20 mowers here, thats either what yous bought or have put up a deal for. Im thinking there will easy be another 10.
Best be hunting about for a tandem 8x5 with a cage, lol.

At this point the plan is to rig something up with some large boards and a car trailer!

OOOH, I do like the look of that corvette, is that on the cards or not?

Joe had his hand up for that. Both the Corvette and the Monaro.

I think it's time to put them in the ring and let them duke it out.Place your bets people.My moneys on Joe.

At this stage I cant take on much more, I need to cull the numbers a little so I can have a decent inflow (wanting 60+ this time around as it was a busy year last season) during winter. Including the one bob already has I have 2 4 stroke monaros so that will keep me happy until space permits.

However if that vc 125 were to be made available I could perhaps bend the rules.

Well, I'll put my hands up, if Joe saw it first, it's good enough for me, so that's Joe's corvette!

Joe, as I said mate, there should be enough VC-125's to go around, so we will all have a nice V97 soon!

...and Joe wins this battle.[Censored] no punch's thrown.I knew that was a safe bet.

Was there a battle???? i missed it.


Was easy more than 6 months back that joe put his name on em. Hell it would be 8 months i rekon, june or july last year.

No it was a bit disappointing really.They just worked it out like 2 mature adults.Sad really.I wanted to see a punch on.Anyway I'll get over it.
