Hi all,

I am currently overhauling a vc160 auto drive mk I.
I know it will be a big ask to find, but I am chasing a
catcher for it as it did not come with one. If anyone
has any idea where I can locate one it would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron.

Are you after the exact right one (of which was a green catcher) or would you be happy with a black catcher?
Green catcher.

VC-160 Auto Drive Mark I with black catcher.

Just remember the green catcher is a very very hard to find.
I'm still trying to find one myself.

Hey mate,

I'd be happy with a black one, as I know this old
girl won't be able to get this old girl anywhere near
original due to the lack of parts for them. Also considering
keeping this one as one of my working yard mowers.

Cheers.

Aaron.

OK cool I don't have a spare one myself,only have the four for the four I have,but I'll keep you in mind when I find one.I do find them from time to time,but as you'd know they are getting very hard to find.In fact now I think of it the last one I was found was about 12 months ago,and unfortunately it had seen a lot of sun.Didn't even have a crack in it,but it was so Brittle.I sat it on top of one of my auto drives,it fell off that and shattered almost like glass.So sad it was looked like it had hardly been used.

if its maybe for a machine that going to be put to work , could a standard one be modified to fit safely ?

Anything could be made to fit.I've even seen a series 80's catcher modified to fit.It looked silly and was hard to take off and put back on.

Yeah it probably could be but I only have decent ones that are matched to each mower. Might just have to keep a look out on the net till one pops up or find a stuffed one and go to town on it haha.
