So a very interesting early 80's Victa mower that came up for sale recently and I had a friend ask what I thought about it? Straight away my head thought it was just a bitsa but very quickly realised that the paint job was to legitimate for it to be repainted. Then the lug hole in the base was suspicious, the wheels looked like early 70's style and the base itself is larger, about the size of a twin.
So I started looking into it and I found an advertisement for it in the UK, then I looked at the advertisement for the mower properly and saw all the pictures and that this was the original owner who has the original paperwork that came with the mower, I then found the the catcher reference and finally in one of my parts reference manuals I found a Pro Deluxe Contractor from 80-81.
Im not sure if you have seen one of these before MF but I hadn't and I found it interesting, nothing I'd personally like except if I was still a gardener.
