Looks fantasmo Speedy. Mowerfreak approves of those silvered front wheels to match the rears and the improvised top grill.
A stylish number we have here. Looks like Vortex's full crank brother!
Great refirb using what resources you had, on what was a sorry looking mower not long ago.
Now to find a catcher and perhaps a repro decal for the cover which are available on eBay. He's a keeper!






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