OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Identification of Particular Machines can some one please help id this vintage victa 18

hey guys I just picked up this old victa im sure its a 125cc but unsure what model exactly.... does anyone know?

it looks like in preety ruff shape shape but its complete has spark and good compression so im fairly positive she will be a runner

Hi Steptoe, by the look of it, it is a bit of a "Bitsa", to me it looks like a Model 1 or 2 Romoto base, (a bit hard to tell by the photo), it has the cigar fuel tap (could be late Romoto or Model 4) has the Romoto Circlip carby and exhaust, it is a Model 4 starter & cowel, Post up the engine No as this will help determine what it is, I may be a bit off but would be close without some other Pics

Hi steptoe,i to think it's a 'bitsa', as well,
but the model 3 used all them parts except the handle bars.
Cheers villiersmad123.

You got it Jonesy! Anyones guess,model 1,2,2a. Get the engine no up just incase it was a 2a...Id revert it back to a Model 2 roto which is almost certainly what it was before the later engine went on,and a cheaper revert than a 2a. Post A full image front and rear showing axles will straightaway Confirm or eliminate it being a model 1.

Hi Blue, Jonesy and ODK members,
That is one machine I would like to have sitting in my shed!
Whatever it is, it will make a nice restoration when finished.
And my Steptoe on a good score!

thanks guys the engine no. stamped on the upper of the crankcase is 69244 it has another 4 stamped below that no. on the lower half of the crankcasehere are the etra pics to

thanks a lot guys I recon its a good little score to

The Engine no denotes Mid> Rotomo 2. However the engine is not Rotomo. The 4 denotes Victa 125 model 2a 4 5>. It is my opinion this engine has been stamped incorrectly and should more than likely read either 169244 Or A69244,AC69244 Making it either a model 4 or Model 5 S2. In any case its incorrect for the base it stands on. In saying this,it is also an Unusual sequential numbering error for this period. Good to have in anycase as im always on the look out for errors and the unusual. The engine you require for this mower is a model 2 125 Rotomo engine. Its chassis is model 2 and the use of plastic wheels denote it being in the latter stages of the Rotomo series 2. Correct engine serial would be 75,000 to 100,000. Hope this helps if your planning to restore her to original specs...If not and you wanna keep it how you found it then thats great too...Good luck and enjoy your new find. Anything you need to know Just hit Jonesy or myself up and a few other members who are well versed in early victa history and accuracy of Models...Enjoy
