Hi Tyler,
good find at a good price. I remember when they were new in the stores, some displayed both the yellow Vortex and the Mustang GTS and I couldn't decide which I liked better. They were both stunning mowers to my eyes and I loved that they continued the thumb latch design after I had seen the VC -125 mark III and my neighbour's store brand Mayfair gold 125 thumb latch base mower.
I now like the yellow Vortex look better but like how the GTS featured in the Victa Guaranteed To Start ad campaigns for the Powertorque engines.
Funny enough, a few years ago there was a yellow Vortex in Perth on Ebay for many weeks unsold going for $40 in decent used condition.
You've done well. I have been lazy in making progress on repairs to my GTS cover. Must get back into it.
Your mower will help in getting me going again.
