Hello All,
I recently got a couple of old but working (somewhat) Victa Professional 550 SP mowers. I got them for our
acre of Kikuyu.
Had a quick one in between the downpours yesterday and while it worked well even on the highest cut height setting (10) - it cut far too low for my liking, taking the kikuyu down to reveal the white sections - which to keep weeds at bay is too much for me.
I figure atleast another 10mm in cut height is needed.
I don't think I can raise the carrier disc so the only thing I can think of to achieve this is to add spacers in between the engine and where it mounts/is bolted into the deck.
Would this be the recommended path of action folks here would advocate? The only complication I can forsee is that it might slightly alter the angle of the drive belt to the rear SP section but being that it's a flexible belt and 10mm or so shouldn't be a huge angle change I hope this isn't an issue.
Figure I can use either multiple washers, an oversized nut or even some holesaw cut sections of formply that are painted with a hole in the middle as spacers.
Thank you in advance for your feedback and guidance. :-)
