OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Identification of Particular Machines just aquired this pace

any info on it would be great, never seen one before.



thanks

it looks better the mine, style wise

Now they are two sharp looking machines!
Kye, is the skirt in front of the right wheel there?

I'm no expert here but I feel like both of these would have originally had an impulse starter and a front mounted air filter where as these ones (Probably due to the hose cracking) have had snorkels fitted from powertorques by the look




Not great photos but you get the idea.

Jack would be able to shed more light on it I'm sure.

Pete

i'm not sure about the air filter but i do agree that it would have had an impulse starter though!

thanks slash n kye on further inspection of this machine found a problem


will have to fabricate a new linkage for the height adjuster. which is underneath?
Been searching for anything on this mower and all i can work out is that. now i may or will be wrong. but its a pace by victa 1964. thats all i can work out.
engine no 964527

it has plenty of compression, but i havent tried to start it yet as the fuel smells that bad i am putting off cleaning the carby, but will do.
bloody thing is heavy to push.
thanks
it has

Yep, they're damn heavy. They used to say you needed to be built like a three legged sex offender to push one:

August, 1968

Spewing about the axles, i would have swapped the axle of mine + $5 (you keep the wheels) but i think mine are a little bit different

kye i was gonna get my grinders out and take the axle off, gently, clean it up, retapp the holes, weld in a new linkage arm? and replace the
metal strops that hold the axle on. any better ideas would be great but thats all i can think of
sean

Hey Sean, I've read that 50/50 auto trans fluid and acetone makes a great home-brew WD-40 alternative that's supposed to be as good as the best store bought stuff.
One trick I learnt many moons ago for similar situations is to clean the bolt and tig a nut onto the offending bolt. The new nut gives a good head to get a spanner onto and the heat from the tig will heat up the bolt and help break the bond between the bolt and cutting deck.
Good luck

All good Sean, My base is stuffed so i was hoping someone could use some parts of it. Hope it all works out for you!

so do you recon i am doing the right thing to fix this mate? or would your spare be a better fix, mate i fix Poo with hammers

i don't think my pace can be fixed and the axle is different, you should be able to fix it pretty easily shouldn't you?

i hope i can kye will post pics. the trouble and strife said i cant play with mowers after 10. bitch
