G'day SR,

For the parts you need, it would be worth searching for 'Victa' in this FleaBay UK section; https://www.ebay.co.uk/b/Lawn-Mower-Parts-Accessories/82248/

As far as the crankshaft bearing condition is concerned, the critical bearing is the 'big end' rollers in the connecting rod. The crankshaft main bearings are standard radial ball types, and quite easily replaced. Not so with the big end.

Cheers,
Gadge
