Hi NormK, Converse and Mr Davis.
As for cutting height, I think it's way too low and the deck is slightly scrubbing on the ground where they have left it. Maybe if I try and chuck some original Victa wheels on this thing it might raise it up a little.
Cheers!
Visually, those wheels look to be the same diameter front and back. It seems all mowers sold in Australia have either 6, 7 or 8 inch wheels.
Yours look to be 8" rear and 6" front as original, and they have good unworn looking tread.
I quite like them myself. Sure, not original but part of it's history now. Kind of like a car with aftermarket mags fitted lol!!!
Did you see the link to my Frankensteined VC Mr Davis? The engine wasn't even original as it had a G4 carb but it went well once I put one together for it.
I'm not sure I did mate, where was that one?
Here's the link. It has a black VC Sports style cover with it's nose cut off.
