Noooooooo.Too much pressure,lols.
100% accurately...No but close enough.(As a comparison to Luvpsi whos mower at present we are assuming is a late model 4 or a model 5 series 1,is earlier than your model 5 series 2).Ok,So lets go back to numbers.Model 5 series 2(Yours)has an engine number that does not run between 200,000 and 300,000 which would cover the first model 5 series 2s.you do have axle extensions still so it doesnt place it in the model 5 series 3 era.OK So you have an AA.Lets assume that for each letter prefix Ie,A,AA,AAA,AAAA,AC
approximately 20,000 model 5 mowers where made.That places yours at 34,992.+ we will say another 50,000 mowers in the 200,000-300,000 run we will say 50% were model 5s (the other 50% being made up of the last model 3s and model 4s.So that makes your mower no 80,992.give or a take a couple of mowers lols.So since it has a groove cover,is a mid + range Serial No,Id say its late 1958,but definately not the first Model 5 series 2 Id say MID way.What was your conclusion Deejay?Since accurate model nos are not known you really need to work things out mathematically...Just a Note:The model prefix of A,AA,AA came after the 300,000 run.I see a lot of people by these model 5s with these prefixes and they go higher in price,I assume they think its because the number is lower than say 300,000?I personally will try and get the lowest nos of any model I can.My model 1 for example is one of the earliest Rotos ever made,While I place all model 1 rots in the rare category,A low number means a little more to me.When I look at the 8 millionth mower go recently for auction and I think to my self I have the first true victa numbered in the hundreds its pretty Awesome I reakon.Anyways Others know way more than I but these are my results on what ive learnt and have owned over the years,Im certain they are fairly accurate.Others may like to add more or make any corrections to mistakes ive made as there is still so much more for me to learn.
