I have picked up quite a few mowers lately.One of which was a Victa 4 stroke with a Tecumseh engine on an alloy base.Now when I got it home the engine didn't work (it may I don't know yet).I also had picked up another Victa 4 stroke with a Briggs on a steel base.It's engine did work.However it did have quite a few problems.The front axle was not attached handle bars were hanging off and a fair bit of damage underneath.Such as cutting disc was bent out of shape and the boss had both teeth snapped of.What to do then a light bulb appeared above my head.This is what happened.










So this was the end result.A mower that is 10 year old but looks almost brand new.Here is a YouTube video address.

That video was taken before it's final clean.So you will see some dirt on it.Tell you what you think.This is the perfect example of a mower that was descented for scrap,but now has a new lease on life.I like it that much that it is now not for sale,but it is going to stay with me and mow my lawns.That way I know it will be looked after.I couldn't bear to see this one look bad and that dirty again.
