The quest toward the back of the overfull shed continues. I came across the Honda HRU19D deck I picked up with handles, blade plate, catcher and fuel tank off the curb a few months ago.
My original idea when I got it out of the shed was to sell it, but then I spotted something else. My rusty Victa tornado 300 with v40 Chonda and I had a think.
Blasphemy I know, but would a OHV Chonda knock off fit on a deck designed for an OHC Honda?
And what about shaft length? I think it should as they had to use the height ring on standard 18 inch decks.
Also, I have got the 19 inch 4 blade carrier on the victa as well - considering the Honda deck is also 19 inch (assuming that's what the 19 in the model number means) will it fit and cut at the right height?
Will have a bit of a play around with it and see how it goes - worst case I just need to buy a honda blade boss as I already have the blade plate
