OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Wanted Wanted vintage mower

Looking for something like this

I have at least 5 of them, had them all running but mowers are too hard to ship interstate

wow 5.nice.I would consider myself lucky to own one.There's just something appealing in there looks

They are all just pushed in a corner gathering dust waiting for me to get around to them one day which will probably never happen. I know that with at least 4 of them I could mow a lawn tomorrow, the fifth one has bearing noise but it runs ok. And then there is another one with the Rotomo type deck that somebody ran on straight petrol that I pulled the motor down and it still sits in bits.I always dream about "one day"

Got one

Hello Someguy

That's great news!
The Model 5 was the most successful of 1950s Victas.
It was a great - and now classic - design.
Please keep us informed on progress here.

Cheers

Thanks Jack
Engine was rebuilt and yesterday it was fired up for the first time,took a while as it didn't have a choke and most i'd seen on youtube had it on the filter end.
The fuel stop leaked dripping slowly,i was given a retractable starter with it.
Not sure if i need to fit a edger slot cover,3 selling on ebay but i'd only need one
Here's some more pictures
