Found this today at the scrap yard and I was really thinking about not bothering with it as it's a bit buggered and modified all over. Then I thought it's a good thing to grab for show and tell on these forums. Also I was thinking even if it's butchered a bit it's a classic Victa VC160 and they aren't that easy to find these days, also the bulldozer was nearby and was starting to clear and pile up the metal and it wouldn't have been too long until this was also destroyed and thrown on the scrap pile. I paid $10 for it. I just couldn't let it get crushed as I have never seen one of these being dumped with hard rubbish or in a scrap yard for a very long time now.
Check out the photo's I have added of this poor beast, it has had the wheels changed to something else, looks like they also welded one of the front axles up where the wheel sits. Then there is the welded on handles. But wait there's more! lol. There is also no more height adjustment setting for this mower, it's sort of all been welded and wired up to their favourite cutting height! lol
If that's not enough wait there's still more great features fitted to this lawnmower! Check out the 4 stroke lawnmower later style throttle control fitted to the handle and connected to the old G3 carby. I tried moving it and it seems to work ok...lol.
Cheers!
Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay, another trash picked Victa, hip hip Hooray!
