So you know that my main love and passion are the mowers from the 70's with the smaller cowlings, now I still love the 70's Mustangs, but the different colours, shapes and designs of those 70's mowers were some real out there designs, obviously, from a fresh way of thinking. I'm speculating here that the designs department had a shake up of some sort to change the very similar looking 60's models to the very very different looking 70's series, that I considered more like art then the 60's models. I consider the vortex art but to me the money to design new engines, redesign entire mowers and to make mowers that look like art has been heavily out weighed by the extra money that victa company can make with a reliable 4-stroke (Generally non mower people prefer 4-stroke because they have no clue) that goes for function over looks, cheap easy to produce pressed decks and as little changes to their design as much as possible. Where as look at the 70's models, money had little to do with being the best! Pride!!
