Greetings,

I've resurrected a V99 Mayfair (125cc Store Brand Corsair) from a long slumber. I used it yesterday and need to replace the blades before it goes into regular rotation to supplement my VSX160 Commando. I'm having no end of trouble sourcing blades for this machine.

As per the sticker on the engine, this mower has the older style blade holder, taking the CA09236S Blade.

It looks like the original blades are no longer available. There is a Rover Blade that seems to come fairly close to the original blades - slightly wider, but the same length and bolt hole. Has anyone had any luck using these blades on an older Victa?

If not, I think I have a newer blade holder taken off a junk cleanup find Briggs - a CA09320K. Will this fit onto the older engine, and into the low arch deck? I was thinking that at least with the new blade holder, we could get away with installing blades that are still manufactured onto the mower.

I'm keen to hear what we are all using on our older Victas to keep them going.

Thank you all.

(apologies for the crap photos - took them so I could reference something when scouring this site and google - let me know if you want to see the machine and I'll get some better ones).
