OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions On Ride On Mowers Questions On Victa Ride On Mower Frames VICTA MTD

I purchased a Victa ride on yesterday and was wondering how I could tell what year it was made before I start to restore it. It was made by MTD serial number 138-611-612/F228H model number 91-010-0789,thanks, Regards Rob

also it has a 8 hp briggs and stratton ,would this be the original motor? it seems a bit small for the size of the mower, and I left 10 bucks on the fridge for you Bruce, Regards Rob. Very informative site

robj,

I have the model 134-501-612 Victa Owners and spare parts manual which i can upload to the parts list and manuals area in a few days time as it has 33 pages of information.

This is the manual:

Thanks Bruce, I got it started today but found out the hard way always check your purchase properly before you buy and especially after the purchase afterglow burns bright! no brakes or clutch thank god for retaining walls The brake assembly is missing, the disk is still there and the clutch does not work,

Rob,

Does the machine that I put up in my post similar to yours?

If so I have the parts list and set up information.

Bruce it has lights, electric start,(electrics have been disconnected) and the pull start motor is mounted in front of the steering wheel under a flip up cowl, do you want me to post a picture, Regards,Rob

Yes please do that.

OK, No wrong ,photobucket is down for maintenance, will try again tomorrow,Regards, Rob

Rob,

Have found the parts manual and will try to upload it in a few days.

Thanks Bruce, I was starting to think that I had aquired something so obscure the parts would have to be hand made.

hi there all .
im only new to this site and i seen bruce has a manual i have been looking for i have that make and model 134 504 612 lo13a and i am trying to fix the gears on the ride on .any help would be good

gurstar,

On the gearbox you should find an ID plate. If you supply the information on the plate I will be able to upload a parts list along with the operators manual.

I have done some work on this type of gearbox before and some of the parts are hard to get as victa does not supply them any more.

thanks there bruce .that manual will be of assistance.
im changing all the belts at the moment they seem to be worn .the gears i mean are on the front and it has five different speeds but i can only seem to get it into one gear and drives really slow
the old belt are really worn and i think this might be one reason the mower moves to slow
cheers gurstar

gurstar,

If you can get the information off the gearbox I can upload a parts list so that you can see what is required.

I also sure that I have a workshop manual that I could upload for the gearbox.

Did you have any luck with the manual Bruce, Regards, Rob

Rob,

Have tracked down a parts list for the Ride on. It is under parts list and manuals area.
