What should I do with these Super 24 frames I got home today? These are definitely a different kettle of fish to a domestic machine. Very heavy and cumbersome to transport even without the handles and engine. Did I make a mistake bothering with these machines I admire, but have no personal use for at this stage?

The one on the left had a more worn out frame in general with cracks I've identified in a couple of places.
The one on the right looks to be for a four stroke engine. Both have their belts and blade carriers. I also found their handles, one with a petrol tank.

Not sure it's worth my time to try and create a working machine out of the two. I'll still have bits missing like the pulley for the motor and an adapter plate to fit a full crank on the undamaged one.

Rear wheels are not in the greatest shape.

What do you guys think? I feel like I bit off more than I can chew.

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