Just a quick update for the VC-160 & VC-125, I have recently found out about the Victa Model codes for these machines (Not the parts code)
The MKI (Parts Code V80) is coded 70VJ
The MKII (Parts Code V96) is coded 71VJ
The MKIII (Parts Code (V111) is coded 72VJ
The MKI VC-125 (V97) is 71VL
and the MKII 125 (V112) is the 72VL
I also have more detail to come on the 2 variations of the MKIII, as well as details of a part that is seldom still seen on these mowers, a small wire clip that guides the throttle cable, I had seen this part in parts manuals, but until recently I had never seen one (I can see why they would be easy to loose)
Keep watching for more VC-160 Info.
