I suppose if we dont have anything nice to say about the mower we dont say anything at all
Bin the rusty paper thin tornado chassis is what I would do - unbolt the handles and it has probably cracked under the rear of the saddle mounts, so you would need to weld as well.
Powerhouse museum has a tooling test piece for the tornado - the tooling test failed due to metal rupture. Guess where it ruptured - both all around the inner side of the high arch and the lhs handle. The bends were too deep and it thinned the metal too much. The failed tooling test breaks exactly where they fail down the line in use
Victa knew it was crap and marketed it anyway
