Well done there Ben, good score on the Honda. With the Victa bases when I rebuild a mower, because I strip them to a bare bases and repaint them, I clean the underside up all around that left hand corner and paint it with fish oil and hopefully that prolongs their life. The alloy base is better but they do suffer from wear but can be repaired but it is very time consuming because they are usually badly worn around the front axle area. Depending on where in Melb you are I do have a lot of non rusted steel PT bases here if you want one.
Just having a thought, probably a dumb idea, I have alloy Rover bases here that would probably end up in the scrap, I might see if I could put PT's on these, only thing is I would probably have to cut 20mm off the skirt to get the blades down to the correct height. Tell me if this is a dumb idea!!!
