Like the wheels from a wheelie bin. Whatever works.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Sure, but they pale against the pipe saddles pop riveted on to hold the front axle. Now that is real class!

I forgot to add that. I didn't want my post to show up as edited. A cool cost effective solution.

For the paint, it looks to be a pretty close match to Kubota Orange which you can buy from Kubota dealers.

Trev, if a can of spray paint from Kubota is anything like a can of John Deer spray can it would cost more than the mower is worth, boy do they know how to charge

The cream for the handles will probably be a close match with one of the Federation range from Dulux or Taubmans. I would think Chevy Orange is going to be a bit on the red side compared to the original but hey, the mower is hardly in original condition unless you are going to do a wheels up restoration.
