I am trying to downsize my mower pile but recently nearly every mower I get rid of the buyer leaves a mower, no big deal except the pile remains the same. Yesterday a bloke had a V40 Victa (Chonda) and I said I would look at it and see if I could get it going for him.He was in a rush, just wanted to grab a mower and not wait around, you keep it I don't want it. Anyway today I thought I would have a look at it to determine which pile of mowers to put it in. Had a quick look, fuel in it,oil in it, throttle cable damaged from having the handles folded down, I got the cable pulled through enough so the choke was closed fully and it started first pull and runs fine.Sometimes people are hard to understand

Hi Norm, you could always relive the youth in you and throw a few of your worst ones off a local cliff for laughs, only thing, you may end up needing a part off them one day and regret your decision. I have thrown away bits I thought I'd never need, and you know how it is.


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